What We Do In the Shadows

This kiwi mockumentary about vampires is a confection that wants nothing more than to be as silly as possible. We laughed all the way through it. There are send-ups of specific vampire movies, send ups of reality shows, but also just jokes about vampire lore. There’s no gravitas, and it won’t win any awards, but Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi derserve kudos for aspiring to do nothing more than to make the audience laugh.
