THE GIST: Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav are roommates who happen to be vampires. Aside from the usual necessities a vampire has to attend to, like avoiding sunlight and feeding on human blood, the three friends have to deal with more mundane stressors, like paying rent, doing one's chores, having a social life, and dealing with each other's peculiarities.
What We Do in the Shadows is definitely not your ordinary vampire movie and is a great showcase for Taika Waititi's brand of offbeat comedy.
Waititi co-wrote and co-directed the movie with Jemaine Clement, who also stars, along with Waititi and Jonny Brugh.
THE BOTTOM LINE: If you don't know Waititi, this would be a good introduction to his work. He has successfully gone on to bigger Hollywood fare since (Thor: Ragnarok), so you know he's doing something right!
