How can a comedy this hilarious also be one of the best vampire films you'll ever see? Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/24 Full Review Robert L In the realm of vampire cinema, where the same tropes and clichés have been rehashed time and again, "What We Do in the Shadows" stands as a refreshingly original and hilarious take on the genre. Helmed by the comedic geniuses Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, this mockumentary-style film follows the lives of four vampires who share a flat in Wellington, New Zealand.What makes "What We Do in the Shadows" truly exceptional is its subversion of vampire stereotypes. Instead of portraying these creatures as fearsome monsters, Waititi and Clement present them as endearingly flawed and relatable individuals, grappling with everyday mundane tasks like laundry and house chores. The film's humor is sharp, witty, and often absurd, making it a delight for fans of both mockumentary and vampire-related fare.The characters of "What We Do in the Shadows" are a masterstroke of creation, each with their own unique quirks and personalities. Viago (Waititi), the fastidious leader of the house, is obsessed with maintaining his appearance and upholding vampire tradition. Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), a former vampire who was turned in the 1980s, embraces the modern world with a penchant for fashion and technology. Vladislav (Clement), a 16th-century vampire, is still haunted by the death of his familiar, and spends his time reminiscing about his past glories. And Petyr (Ben Fransham), an ancient vampire trapped in a decaying body, is perpetually grumpy and demanding.The film's success has spawned a spinoff television series of the same name, which continues to explore the lives of the vampire flatmates and introduce new and hilarious characters. With its creative premise, sharp writing, and endearingly flawed characters, "What We Do in the Shadows" is a must-watch for anyone who loves a good laugh. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/24 Full Review Alec B Uses it's simple concept to great comedic effect and material alternates between a slacker roommate comedy and a spoof of the vampire genre quite easily. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
