Now available on VOD services from IFC Midnight is VAMPIRES, a Belgian horror/comedy. Although it is billed as SPINAL TAP meets “THE MUNSTERS,” we have an exclusive clip that proves that the film isn’t all laughs. Watch it below to see the blood sucking for yourself!

In the hilarious, satirical VAMPIRES, a documentary film crew introduces us to husband and wife Georges and Bertha and their children Samson and Grace, a family of vampires living in suburban Belgium. They feed on illegal immigrants and former prostitutes (referred to as “meat”) and attend gatherings with other vampires in the same district. Georges is a bit creepy, Bertha a little unhinged, and Grace is trying to kill herself (which, as an immortal vampire, she can’t), but otherwise they seem like a normal family. But when the partying son Samson is caught having sex with the wife of the district vampire leader, the family is exiled (under Vampire Law, handed down from Count Dracula) to Canada, where a vampire’s life is a lot less protected.
