What We Do in the Shadows (2014) - Set up as "Real World" mockumentary,
What We Do in the Shadows follows four roommates, who also happen to be vampires. Viago (Taika Waititi) is the "leader" of the group and on the uptight side. Vladislav (Jemaine Clement) is a goth-esque vampire, the strongest of the crew. Deacon (Jonathan Brugh) is the youngest, at age 183. Petyr (Ben Fransham), age 8000, resembles Nosferatu and lives in the basement. Together — what a zany bunch. Set in Wellington, NZ, the film is very funny — and gory — as the roomies have varying success with stalking prey and making new friends, most notably with computer analyst Stu (Stu Rutherford), a human who introduces them to wonders of the modern world, like YouTube.
Our house, in the middle of the street ...
"One day I was selling my wears, and I walked passed this old creepy castle. And I look at it and think, "'very old and creepy". And then this creature... flies at me! It dragged me back to this dark dungeon. And bit into my neck. And just at the point of death; this creature forced me to suck its foul blood. And then it opened it's wings, like this. And hovered above me. Screeching. 'Now you are vampire.' And it was Petyr. And we're still friends today."
Yeah some of our clothes are from victims. You might bite someone and then, you think, 'Oooh, those are some nice pants!'
