Stream What We Do In The Shadows Movie

Ever Heard of Hilarious Vampire Roommates?

Get ready for something different. Have you ever wondered what vampires do when they're not, you know, being vampires? Well, the movie What We Do in the Shadows answers that question in the most ridiculous way possible.

It's a mockumentary. Think "The Office," but with creatures of the night! It's about a group of vampires living together in a house in Wellington, New Zealand.

Why This Movie is Pure Gold

First off, the humor is so dry and absurd. It's the kind of comedy that sneaks up on you and then has you howling with laughter. These vampires are trying to navigate modern life, and it's a disaster.

Imagine these ancient beings arguing over whose turn it is to do the dishes. Or trying to figure out how to use the internet. The situations are so relatable, even though they're completely bonkers.

The characters are another huge reason to watch. You've got Viago, the lovable but clueless leader. There's Vladislav, the brooding and slightly pathetic ex-tyrant. And who could forget Deacon, the rebellious young vampire who thinks he's way cooler than he actually is?

Plus, there's Petyr. He is the ancient, Nosferatu-like vampire who lives in the basement. He’s terrifying and hilarious at the same time!

More Than Just Laughs

While it's definitely a comedy, What We Do in the Shadows also has a surprising amount of heart. You see these vampires, despite their flaws, trying to find connection and meaning in their very long lives.

They struggle with loneliness, with feeling out of touch, and with trying to find their place in a world that's constantly changing. It's a surprisingly human story, even with all the fangs and blood.

The Improv Magic

A lot of the movie's charm comes from the improvisation. The actors were given a basic outline of the scenes and then encouraged to riff and play off each other. This gives the movie a really natural and spontaneous feel.

You can tell that the actors are having a blast. And that energy is infectious. It draws you in and makes you feel like you're right there in the house with them, witnessing all the vampire shenanigans.

Beyond the Movie: A Legacy of Laughs

The movie was so successful that it spawned a TV series. The show, also called What We Do in the Shadows, follows a different group of vampires in Staten Island. It carries on the same hilarious spirit of the film.

So if you love the movie, definitely check out the series! It's more of the same witty humor, with even more supernatural creatures thrown into the mix. Expect werewolves, ghosts, and all sorts of other spooky surprises.

Ready for a Bite?

Seriously, if you're looking for a movie that's funny, original, and just plain weird, What We Do in the Shadows is a must-see. It's the perfect movie to watch with friends. Get ready to quote it for years to come.

It is guaranteed to leave you with a smile on your face. It might even make you rethink everything you thought you knew about vampires. In a good way, of course!

So grab some (synthetic) blood, dim the lights, and prepare to laugh your way through this hilarious vampire mockumentary. You won't regret it!
