It's Your Turn to do the Dishes

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2015)

I caught this little hidden gem on HBO the other night. I laughed until I darn near peed myself. It is so refreshing to see a movie of this type that simply refuses to take itself seriously. I think I so enjoyed this because I had not seen any trailer, advertisements, or hype about this movie. Face it, most movies whose trailer runs for, oh, six months or so, usually wind up not being worth a dime. In fact, the best parts of the movie are usually found in the trailer.
"What We Do in the Shadows" is a story about very old vampires trying to adapt to the new day. When it opens, the household is about to have some sort of meeting. I was expecting something weird...and you find out they are meeting because one of them will not do his only assigned household chore, i.e. washing the dishes. They have this intense meeting that ends with all of them levitating and hissing at one another! One has his own familiar to do his dirty work. She longs for the world of the vampire, but keeps getting put off by her master. She provides victims, which they turn one into a vampire and he cannot keep his mouth shut, so everybody knows what's going on. And their rivalry with a local pack of werewolves damn near put me over the edge.
I cannot say enough good things about this movie. There is comedy galore, a "beast," and the script was well written and very well acted. Kudos to these guys. I enjoyed everything about this one and highly recommend it for viewing.
The movie is rated "R" for violence and some language. Enjoy yourself!
