A comedy from beyond the grave, which, however, respects almost every conceivable rule of the vampire genre and is all the better for it. Vampires don't like to wash dishes, they wipe dust by dragging lifeless bodies, they can't play musical instruments much, and they also snort quite terribly when they go out into society, but who wouldn't want to become one of them after the end credits? Perhaps only a flea-filled werewolf.

(49th KVIFF) Cute vampires (and werewolves, zombies and other similar creatures) in an incredibly funny mockumentary comedy. The midnight screening was worth it and the excited audience added to the experience. The film ends before it manages to build any sort of solid story through that relentless series of jokes. Those who say that a sitcom format would be more suitable for these vampires are right, after all, this is film is already a sitcom episode stretched to 90 minutes.

I can’t think of any other word than “genius”. What We Do in the Shadows is an absolutely genius parody that earnestly makes fun of vampires and, here and there, werewolves. Not of particular movies or particular characters, just vampires in and of themselves. And after watching some of the scenes, I believe that they’ll become legendary, granted that the movie makes its way into the world. Who would have thought that it was filmed by New Zealand authors? I watched this for the Challenge Tour 2015.

A documentary about a community of undead in New Zealand. I didn't really feel like watching it, but the very first minute made me change my mind. The budget was obviously not huge, but it made the film all the better. I haven't had such a blast in a long time. I was even sorry it was over. All the characters were great, but Vlad and Jackie were my favorites. Great entertainment that I recommend to almost everyone.

I guess I expected it to be a little funnier. It has to be acknowledged, though, that it's truly immensely original, and the pop culture humor isn’t cheap, but rather in line with the overall tone of the film. The humor it maintains throughout is overall good, and after a long time, it's a mockumentary that actually makes sense.
