Blood-curdling hilarious

Rating: 9/10 (17 April 2020)

What We Do in the Shadows was a film made by some of the best comedic talents New Zealand has to offer and they came was a hilarious horror-comedy.
What We Do in the Shadows was an episodically structured film as it followed a group of vampires living in Wellington, and looking at the issues they face.
The film offers up some great comic twists on vampire lore and references films from Nosferatu to The Lost Boys to Twilight. It comes out swinging with the feral Pytor to the vampires needing to be invited into a nightclub, and a final battle in a park. The film has a great mix of subverting vampire tropes and darkly humorous.
