“So many comedies are adoringly billed as “dark”, forgetting the ancient showbusiness maxim, “dark is easy; funny is hard”. Fortunately, this mockumentary from New Zealand succeeds in being both: in fact, it’s the best comedy of the year”
DOORS: 20:00 | FILM STARTS 20:15
It’s back… Venture deep into Redcliffe Caves – if you’re brave enough – for the latest instalment of our infamous Horror In The Caves series. Enter through our military tent on Redcliffe Wharf, grab a drink from our pop-up bar to steel your nerves, and step foot inside one of Bristol’s most unusual and exclusive locations for another season of classic and contemporary horror movies.
If you fancy something a little on the lighter side, then What We Do In The Shadows is the film for you – this hilarious Taika Waititi-helmed mockumentary explores the funnier side of vampires with bloody aplomb.
For the first time this year, we are offering a limited number of spaces on 10-15 minute pre-screening tours of Redcliffe Caves; collect a torch then venture far deeper than our ’Screening Cave’ and learn more about the history of this fascinating Bristol landmark. PLEASE NOTE: due to the nature of the space, all guests on a pre-screening tour must be able to exit the Caves unaided in the event of an emergency. Further details will be emailed to you shortly after booking.
About The Film

Four vampires sharing a house in Wellington, New Zealand, invite a film crew to document their attempts to navigate the complications of modern living. Along the way they deal with werewolves, “The Beast”, and a newly-turned hipster vampire who introduces them to an exciting new way of life (or death).
