What We Do in the Shadows


This snuck up on me. Someone called it "the goriest movie Christopher Guest never made" and that feels about exactly right and apt. It's a New Zealand-made vampire mockumentary that never overstays its 80-minute run time and just follows these four vampires around their horrible, dingy flat, watching them try to go out and score victims, doing cartoonish shit like arguing over whose turn it is to do the dishes, sketching what each other looks like in what they're wearing since vampires have no reflections and can't use mirrors. A gang of werewolves shows up a couple of times and it's just the right amount of added absurdity. This was all very funny, is what I'm trying to say. Little more, but what else do you need?
