Follow the lives of Viago (Taika Waititi), Deacon (Jonathan Brugh), and Vladislav (Flight of the Corcords’ Jemaine Clement) – three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life’s obstacles-like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery, and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection, modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, keeping up with the chore wheel, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
“You’ve got to love a thing to skewer it as thoroughly as Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement do in their delightfully silly vampire mockumentary ‘What We Do in the Shadows.'” -Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post
“There is so much love and understanding of all the genres the film is skewering that ‘What We Do in the Shadows’ transcends its lowbrow inspirations. It’s a real treat.” -Billy Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
“It’s a cheerfully horrific affair, a sanguine comedy that feels more than a bit like a Christopher Guest farce or an elaborate Monty Python sketch, imprinted with the Kiwi comic sensibilities of co-directors Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi.” -Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
