Film review

What We Do In The Shadows

This is a mockumentary about 'real' vampires living in a flat together in Wellington. The directors of this 2014 film are Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement. It shows and exposes the habits of everyday vampires like drinking human blood, being hundreds of years old, and avoiding sunlight. Within this film, we are introduced to other creatures that also live in Wellington besides humans, like werewolves and zombies. Although the style of filming is like a documentary, there is drama that occurs with a climax, like when one of the main character's best friend is 'killed' by werewolves.

I would recommend this film for more mature audiences to watch. It is funny but not for children to watch as it contain adult themes such as death and torture. It's a funny film which shows a new view on how different human-like-creatures live and act normally. I did like how the different creatures could act like normal people with extra abilities. It was funny how they turned a normal kiwi man into a vampire.
