Spoilers…
I kinda dont want to review this i want to wait until i get the DVD to just go full on at this & just talk & talk but i have to type im sorry i really do. I also have to confess that i am obsessed with the legend that is Taika Waititi, in every single way possible. I saw him be interview about 3 months before Ragnarok came out & my life changed & i decided to embrace the weirdo.
So in honour of playing catch up on this stunning man, before Jojo hits the UK in January, i decided to download What We Do In The Shadows for my flight to Crete. The irony was not missed that i had a nose bleed on the plane, while watching a vampire film. Not my best moment if im honest.
& im now going to try & do this with just a brief synopsis & quote & bits that made me cry with laughter & giggle & made my friends go what the hell are you watching. If i go to OTT yell at me in the comments section.
So synopsis 4 vampires live in a house in Wellington New Zealand, they are filmed by a documentary crew in the build up to the maquared ball in the summer. While filming this a twenty year old victim is turned into a vampire & he & his friend (who they promise not to eat as he is still human) initiate them into the modern world & technology. Eventually things come to a head & they fall out with the new Vampire. At the end of the film they all go to the ball, where the vampires turn on the human friend along with some werewolves we have met earlier in the film, & everything goes mad from there.
& i have not sold that very well, mainly because i want you all to watch it & cry with laughter & go this is stunning & SO MUCH FUN! wink wink. Im giggerling writing these by the way. Its properly bringing a smile to my face this.
Right some quotes for you which some will be like wtf to you all as im not doing this properly & will do it at a later stage when i have this film as my own, but i will get it & you can all just go meh.
Its embarrassing having all those bloody dishes when people come around.
Oh look at ghost cup, floating by itself
The pac man in the mirror
I cant watch daytime tv anymore, i cant sunbathe, i cant eat chips, this is so overrated.
Shame Shame Shame Shame…. bye Stu
Your a cool guy but your not pulling your weight around the flat… Well im glad to hear im cool… thats not the point
You cant go to the ball dressed as blade… but vampires love Wesley?…. its just wrong know
leave me to do my dark bidding on the internet…. what are you bidding on?… a new table
Shit…I think i hit the main artery its a real mess in there… Well at least i think she had a good time…
When you become a vampire you become very sexy
Quick lets kill them… no lets find out what other safety things we need then kill them after that… good point
If we kill the Police more might turn up or maybe even some christians which this house really doesnt need right now
Last time we went to the ball i went as whoopie goldberg from sister act which didnt go down to well as shes a nun
I walked past a creepy castle & thought thats a very old creepy castle
One unread text…. ahhhh…. theres a crucifix behind you
You might bite someone & go oh those are some nice pants im having them.
Boggie Wonderland is SO MUCH FUN
That dance scene…The Coffin… The Fight… The judo… The bats… The mirrors…The Sunlight… Im smiling so much re thinking about this.
& im going to stop here & go on my phone to watch it again. I bloody love this film. Why had i not seen this before. Seriously i know i was it on a plane which makes it more intense & full on but my friends were laughing at me laughing so much.
I will get this on DVD watch it properly & then give you a full & through run through about it being so much fun & loving every second of it. Maybe i love it too much due to Taika being flavour of the month right now upto the end of February but i dont think im overstating just how good film this is.
Thanks for letting me fan girl a proper review will arrive one day i promise.
