"What We Do in the Shadows" is a comedic horror mockumentary that takes viewers on a unique journey into the nightly lives of a group of vampires who have been living together for centuries in Staten Island. The film is directed by Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, and it offers a fresh and entertaining perspective on the classic vampire genre. The documentary-style approach allows for a more intimate look into the lives of these ancient creatures, showcasing both their supernatural abilities and their very human quirks and flaws.
The cast of characters in "What We Do in the Shadows" is one of the standout aspects of the film. Kayvan Novak plays Nandor the Relentless, an ancient vampire with a penchant for battle and a strong sense of duty. Despite his fearsome reputation, Nandor is also revealed to be a bit of a pushover and is often the butt of the group's jokes. Matt Berry plays Laszlo Cravensworth, a vampire with a flair for the dramatic and a love of all things luxurious. He is the group's resident lothario and is always on the hunt for his next conquest. The chemistry between Novak and Berry is electric, and their interactions provide some of the film's funniest moments.
As the documentary progresses, we are introduced to the rest of the vampire household, including Nadja, played by Natasia Demetriou, who is Laszlo's wife and Nandor's familiar, and Colin Robinson, played by Mark Proksch, who is an energy vampire. The film also features a number of other supernatural creatures, including a group of vampire hunters and a pack of werewolves led by a character played by Taika Waititi himself. The diverse cast of characters and the film's unique blend of humor, horror, and documentary-style filmmaking make "What We Do in the Shadows" a must-watch for fans of the genre.
