A peculiar one.

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2015)

This is a peculiar one, the second one I saw in a recent TV Halloween marathon, and one I've been curious for for a while. The concept is a mix of two familiar elements: vampires and mockumentary. I don't think it's ever been done before, but more important is the question whether or not it works?
Well, it did, actually. Taika Watiti (one the two directors) plays a very particular, rather sensitive character that somehow got a little on my nerves. The rest of the characters were pretty cool, though, and coming up with a new member and confrontations with the werewolves were some nice additions. Maybe a thorough storyline is a little absent - as it simply seems to be one long string of incidents - but that didn't bother me much.
The gore and special effects were very neatly done, even if they took a backseat to the comedic elements.
A good 7 out of 10.
