Movie Horrors: What We Do in the Shadows

New Zealand shows its funny side through 2014's What We Do in the Shadows, a mockumentary displaying the nonsensical and chaotic lives of vampires that share a flat together in Wellington.

Despite being threatening creatures of the night, their lives are filled with bizarre and day-to-day inconveniences, including the issues a vampire faces when having to feast on victims; why must it be so messy? Shouldn't you ensure your victims are dined and treated excellently before their eventual demise?

Each vampire is from a different time period, with their own idiotic beliefs and ways of life, which allows the characters to clash brilliantly in a present day setting. The truth is, none of them really fit in. None of them are inherently evil, no matter how barbaric they may act or think. Each character is lovable and funny, and I guess that's exactly what a vampire would want you to think.

Despite its relatively short run-time, What We Do in the Shadows is sheer brilliance. Its writing is certainly something special, and leaves the viewer wanting the group to never leave the screen; it's worth noting that a spin-off is planned, although not much information has been released as of yet.
