An inspired spin-off TV series from WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS that expands the role of lovably clueless police officers O'Leary and Minogue (played by their namesakes) who investigate various strange phenomena in AroVideo's home town.

Feat. Julia Ormond, Emma Draper, John Bach…

Beautifully-lensed NZ horror shot in a grand old mansion in Lower Hutt, following an academic studying black magic (Emma Draper, DAFFODILS) who returns to her childhood home heavily pregnant, but becomes consumed by the repressed trauma of her youth.

Filmed over one week leading up to Isey's 100th birthday,…

Feat. Neill Rea, Fern Sutherland

A local stab at the ever popular murder mystery genre with this Kiwiana policier featuring two mismatched detectives investigating a series of homicides in small town New Zealand. More MIDSOMER than BROACHCHURCH, though not without its own dark humour and unsettling rural charm. Each series contains four…
