My Experience

I am part of the University Film Organization, and once a term we go see a film at the Bijou. This term went to the Bijou Metro and saw What We Do in the Shadows. The film is a mockumentary vampire comedy from New Zealand that was shown at film festivals and won many awards. I liked the movie, and my experience was especially enjoyable because of the atmosphere and being with friends. However, I tried to think critically about the film while I was watching it and after.

Official Description

“Housemates Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are three vampires who are trying to get by in modern society; from paying rent and doing housework to trying to get invited into nightclubs, they’re just like anyone else - except they’re immortal and must feast on human blood. When their 8000 year-old roommate Petyr, turns 20-something human hipster Nick, into a vampire, the guys must guide him through his newfound eternal life. In return, they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashion, technology, and the internet. But it’s the introduction of Nick’s human friend, Stu, that really changes the vampires’ lives and attitudes towards the world around them. When Stu’s life is threatened, the vampires discover that humans are worth fighting for, and that even though a heart may be cold and dead, it can still have feelings.”
