Such a unique hidden gem of a movie. Strangely stays with you, and you find yourself laughing out loud about some of the scenes afterwards. Watch it with a friend.Well done!

Shot in the style of a documentary 'WWDITS' is a brisk and hilarious dive into the Vampire community of Australia. Inventively created on a low budget the characters are distinct and the concept is extremely original this film is overlooked and is a fantastic watch

What huge surprise that we stumbled across this movie! So clever and original with so many scenes and lines remembered long after. One of the best comedies we have seen. Others have described the plot and characters, but all I can say is watch this wonderful film!

"What We Do in the Shadows" is a fantastic New Zealand vampire mockumentary, no surprise considering Taika Waititi ("Thor Ragnarok" director) and "Flight of the Conchords'" Jermaine Clement are involved."...Shadows" is about a vampire sharehouse in Wellington, New Zealand - Viago (Waititi), Vladislav (Clement), Deacon (Jonny Brugh) and the 800-year-old Petyr (Ben Fransham) - filmed for a documentary. Their relatively cosy existence is interrupted when 20-year-old Nick (Cori Gonzalez-Macuer) is turned into a vampire and moves into the sharehouse, visited by his human best friend Stu (Stu Rutherford). Stu is such a likeable guy that the vampires - despite their hunger - refuse to eat him.The highlight of the movie is the dry New Zealand humour (similar to Conchords') contrasting the fantastical vampiric lore, with Stu - who works with Geodatabases - teaching the vampires about computers and mobiles. Other highlights are the werewolves, with Rhys Darby playing the alpha male Anton, and the clueless local police.Arguably the best vampire comedy since Leslie Nielsen's "Dracula: Dead and Loving It", "...Shadows" is a welcome contrast from the wave of more serious vampire-themed TV series and movies.With Waititi gaining recognition after "Thor Ragnarok", hopefully curious fans will check out "...Shadows". It's well worth it. The good news is an American TV series is planned, so hopefully it does the movie justice.
