Review of What We Do in the Shadows (2014) by Harry W — 27 Sep 2016

What We Do in the Shadows is so compellingly weird that it was hard to look away at all, even during the times that I wasn't sure if I was enjoying it or not. I really do need to watch this again. The film is such a great idea and the characters are so fantastic that its a great film just for those reasons alone, however I found there was a slight lack of substance in some places.

I don't really like comedies that much anyway though... Performances are great and dedicated, the actors seem to really invest in their characters and there seems to be an almost improvisational element to certain scenes where the actors give such good performances that they disappear into their characters.

Good film but not my sort of thing, really.
