Review of What We Do in the Shadows (2014) by Heatherm — 17 Feb 2015
This was a very smart, dark, and funny comedy with a ton of fantastic moments and quotable lines. They came up with great plot elements to flesh out the documentary style into a coherent story that ends on a high note, despite some twists and turns for the characters along the way.
Possibly my favourite aspect of the movie is the offhanded acceptance of the basic premise that the vampires are going to kill to survive, and all the violence and gore that comes with it--everyone, both vampire and human, politely ignores the questionable morals at work, and it makes for a delightfully amoral movie.
I do wonder how many pints of fake blood they went through during production.
