What We Do In The Shadows (2014)
What We Do In The Shadows (2014)
2014 | Comedy, Horror
What We Do in the Shadows is just great.

Pretty much every line of dialogue is hilarious, and very subtle most of the time.
There's a lot of funny dry humour here, excentuated wholeheartedly by the New Zealand accent.
Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement are fantastic both behind and in front of camera, and the rest of the cast, in particular Cori Gonzalez-Macuer and Jonny Brugh are brilliant as well. Special kudos to Stu Rutherford for giving us a character that even vampires don't want to die.

The horror element is pretty good also. It plays on many vampire tropes well still managing to be suitably bloody when it needs to be.

What We Do in the Shadows is just an all round wonderful movie, something I find myself thinking for most things that Taika Waititi touches.

Must Read if Reading Throne of Glass!
I usually don't like reading novellas/find it hard to get into. But this bind up was just amazing. You learn so much more about Celaena and gain more of an appreciation for her character.
This is a must read before Queen of Shadows!

Just watched it's okay movie reminds me of few movies from the early nineties one in particular called deep star six similar plot but less budget. Anyway acting performances okay including Kristen Stewart for a change would have liked to have seen more of the creature but I liked the fact they kept most of its appearances in the shadows. Anyway not a bad movie

"My admiration for Melville was propelled to a new level when I saw Army of Shadows for the first time in 2006. The level of suspense and paranoia that Melville is able to sustain throughout is astonishing, as is the performance by Lino Ventura. Thank you to Rialto Pictures and Criterion for making this available to us on the big screen and the small."

Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, What We Do in the Shadows, Jojo Rabbit) produces a homegrown comedic romp. Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Beek star/direct a charming, unique picture about two women who help other people break up with their significant others. Laugh out loud funny from two lesser-known New Zealand talents. 7/10
