Tongue-thru-cheek horror comedy ala "This Is Spinal Tap" mockumentary

Rating: 7/10 (2 November 2014)

WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (2014) ** 1/2 Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi, Jonathan Brugh, Cori Gonzalez-Macuer, Stuart Rutherford, Ben Fransham, Jackie van Beek, Rhys Darby. Tongue-thru-cheek horror comedy ala "This Is Spinal Tap" mockumentary that is hit-and-miss but nonetheless winningly funny centering on four vampire roomies attempting to keep the peace while looking for fresh blood. Bloody, frequently droll and inventive yet silly altogether. Clement and Waititi co-directed and co-scripted this monster marriage with mirth that gets an A for effort if anything in seeing Fransham's creepy Nosferatu as a flatmate who can't be tidy.
