The three lead vampires in this film were absolutely fantastic, especially Jonathon Brugh (His solo dance routine was one of the most awkwardly hilarious things I have ever seen!). I loved all three of the main characters and their interactions with Stu. I was laughing the whole way through this film which is continuously funny. I actually found some of the scenes to be quite frightening, especially when the vampires are chasing one of their victims through their home! This scene was one of my favourites. I don't think it needed to be a mockumentary though. Sometimes the shots were purposefully too long which felt unnecessary and just slowed the pace of the film. Some of the jolty, hand-held camera shots could be a bit annoying too. Otherwise, I loved it and definitely recommend it! I hope it claims top spot for its opening weekend in NZ.

I watched this movie, knowing nothing about it before, and it completely blew me away. It had me gut-busting from the very first scene throughout the entire movie. The premise of vampire flatmates is absurd, but it works great, because the movie takes its characters just serious enough for the audience to be somewhat emotionally invested in them. The chemistry between the actors is also great. But of course, the biggest strength of the movie is, that it delivers laughs on a very consistent level. Seriously, there was probably a joke every minute, that made me laugh so hard, I cried. I really don't wanna oversell this one, but I think this might be the funniest mockumentary since "This is Spinal Tap". If you like mockumentaries, dark comedy, vampires, or are just generally into humor, definitely go see this one. This is the funniest movie of the year so far, but I'm sure, that won't change.

I love movies of all types and try to find the good in everything. I have finished watching even the most boring of movies to the end long after my wife has has given up. For example, I finished watching the intolerable "Breaking Wind" although I'll never get that part of my life back. After considering that "What We Do In The Shadows" is a mockumentary and watching for what I thought must surely be almost the entire movie, I was horrified that I was only 20 minutes into it. It was crude, poorly done, and just unwatchable. I turned it off despite having paid to rent it. Save yourself the grief and watch paint dry instead. This movie should have been left in the shadows.

Lot's of people are disregarding this movie due to "Lack of plot" or "Poor cinematography". This isn't supposed to be that sort of movie, it's a mockumentary, done in the style of a documentary. They have nailed that look perfectly, and the plot doesn't matter in a comedy. The comedy is great, the deadpan nature of it is hilarious, the jokes are brilliant. Go in with the open mind that it's not your classic style of comedy. I think it's a great movie.
