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.
  
3.5 stars. I liked it. It made me smile/chuckle a few times.

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.
