What We Do in the Shadows

Year: 2014

Director: Jemaine Clement & Taika Waititi

Rotten Tomatoes: 96%

Plot: A documentary crew follows a group of vampire roommates as they struggle with the extremely mundane problems of modern life—chores, relationships, nightclubs, and getting along with each other. Their existence becomes considerably more complicated when a newly turned vampire joins the household.

Marcela Notes: It was a true gift watching this on a random whim completely blind having never even heard a whisper of it when it first came out. I can never decide which silly little bit is the funniest to me- Peter gets me every time. What a charming wholesome time. 

Fun Fact: Clement and Waititi wrote around 150 pages of script but didn't give the cast the full script, allowing them to improvise much of the dialogue.
