It Sucked (in a good way)

Rating: 10/10 (20 July 2016)

Christopher Guest is alive and well and living in New Zealand! This mockumentary is absolutely funny as hell. The gore scenes are over-the-top and outrageously silly - because they're supposed to be. The arguing with roommates scenes and petty jealously scenarios are downright hilarious. This movie is not a technical marvel, however the make-up is very good. If you're looking for eye-popping cinematography, a moving score or Oscar-worthy acting, you won't find it here. The star of this film is the writing. It carries every scene, much like Christopher Guest's "This is Spinal Tap," "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind." One such example was the thumping coffin lid - brilliant. Another was the May-December romance at the end. "What We Do in the Shadows" is slowly becoming a cult classic, is the funniest movie of 2015 (USA) and is one of my favorite movies of the year!
