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.

I liked the two guys and I have to admit it's a tough decision to make between Noah and Zane as both are great in their own way. I'm intrigued as to what will happen later on in the series with these three.
The rest of the story, though, the Egyptology stuff, is not my thing at all and I kinda just skipped over those bits especially near the end, when I just wanted them to find the halo.
I haven't read too many books/series based on succubi so I enjoyed this tale. The addition of angels and vampires only added to my enjoyment and the wittiness of the characters at times was fun reading.
I definitely think I'll be picking up on the series at a later date.

The cast in this was strong, and did alright with the characters. I actually liked pre-couch-jumping Tom Cruise in it, though I will not mind when Lestat is taken over by someone else for the newly announced Vampire Chronicles/Mayfair Witches AMC project. The accents are kind of whack, but you can easily ignore that part.
The DVD I have shows a little pre-movie interview with some of the actors, the director, and Rice herself, and talks about how you're fixin to watch a movie about the most depressing vampires you've ever heard of. That made me laugh.
This is definitely a classic vampire movie.

Took me a bit longer to get into the second one as the first didn’t jump in to my memories as fast as the other books I read do! The first book was a bit underwhelming and a bit rushed. This one was so much better I love that Derek still has his dark side not like most vampires written. I had a feeling I knew who Sofia’s dad was but I didn’t see it coming about her mum! Certainly sets it up for an interesting 3rd book.
