WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS


I just finished watching the series (all 6 seasons) so I decided to track down the movie it was based on.  Or perhaps inspired by.  There are none of the same characters, setting, or anything between the two.  Just the same general idea.  A documentary crew is filming the daily "life" of a group of vampires that live together in modern times. 

While the TV series takes this a step further and makes them all basically idiots, the original show just has them... completely out of whack with modern day life.  There's not much of a plot to it, the closest thing it has is the fact that one of their victims at the beginning of the movie gets turned and they roughly guide him in what being a vampire is actually like. 

I wouldn't say it's laugh out loud funny, but it is quite amusing in places.  Also a lot bloodier and gorier than the Tv series. 

Worth checking out if you like vampire movies.
