What We Do in the Shadows

Original dark comedy genius. One of a kind characters, who you come to love. Work of art with original ideas that blend classic mockumentary with these lovable vampire outcasts.

Genius! ... a totally original idea whose exploration inevitably leads to very funny scenes. Starting from the idea of using a documentary-style narration, but clearly self-declared fiction, is a choice that enters into a self-irony that makes you feel at ease... and then... the various funny gags. Absolutely worth seeing

Absurd. Hilarious. Funny as hell

Love this show so much. Filled with excellent characters, with Matt Berry being the icing on the cake. He’s always made me laugh! A truly fang-tastic show that had me in stitches on numerous occasions. 👊🤩

After the Twilight era, I didn’t want to see another vampire movie. What We Do in the Shadows remade this genre to my liking!

This movie had a $1.6 million budget and accomplishes what some $200 million budget movies pale in comparison to. It’s a premise we know but executed in a context that feels both familiar and unknown.

A very funny horror comedy with a dry quirky sense of humor and realism about vampires living in modern times.

One of the most creative, brilliant, funny, and unique shows ever. It’s such a shame it’s ending—I wish it could go on for more seasons.

9.2/10 мега смешно.

Vampires have had a pretty mixed history when it comes to cinema, featuring in classics like Nosferatu, Interview With A Vampire & Bram Stoker’s Dracula. But they’ve also been in a lot of dreck, including the Twilight series and a variety of woeful parodies like Vampires Suck and Lesbian Vampire Killers. So What We Do In The Shadows was a very pleasant surprise. Co-written, co-directed and co-starring pre-superstardom Taika Waititi, its clear his sense of humour was already fully formed here, with the absurd scenarios playing out as if they were everyday occurrences, in this case a flat of vampire roomies trying to fit into modern society. The film doesn’t gloss over the grizzlier aspects of vampiredom, such as their need to kill and consume blood, but uses them to add to the fish out of water aspect of their existence. There are plenty of funny moments, usually surrounding their matter-of-fact approach to odd events, or the outlandish scenarios that the film works in, including repeated encounters with werewolves, who are presented as a standoffish gang whose leader abhors foul language. There are stronger entries in the mockumentary genre, but this is one that’ll have you laughing from start to finish, and that’s more enough for me to recommend it.
