Total rec for Wellington Paranormal, the no-budget NZ comedy X-Files. Our heroes probably pulled straight Cs in cop school, the jokes aren't oversold (e.g. one character's underpants say THE TRUTH IS IN HERE on the waistband, and we see it for maybe half a second), the effects are as good as they need to be, and it asks the hard questions such as Is lycanthropy an STD?

I loved it -- it's exactly the right level of dumbassery. And I should really rewatch it now that I've actually been to Wellington and know some of the locations!

There's something in it that makes it easy to imagine it happening in whatever your local town's B-grade landmarks are, and I appreciate that.

I saw that! It is excellent and highly recommended!

You mentioned it and that reminded me I needed to watch it.

What was the final conclusion about lycanthropy?

[phosfate]

They just ask the hard questions, they don't answer them.

Well best use a dental dam when savaging the villagers just in case
