PSA: If you're on the hunt for an offbeat movie to watch, look up What We Do in the Shadows. It's been on my radar for awhile - made by and starring some of our top film/comedic talent, it took out a People's Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival. I FINALLY got around to watching it the other day, and all I can really say is wow. It's so bizarre, so very Kiwi, and just ... original. It won't be for everyone, that is for sure.
