Stu went to high school with Taika. They were friends and flat mates in the past. He wasn’t just a guy they hired. Stu worked on several of Taika’s movies too.
Surprised nobody mentioned or seen the original short film, it’s great. I like the part where they go out in real New Zealand streets dressed as their characters.
Don’t forget there is also the NZ spinoff series, ‘Wellington Paranormal’ following the further adventures of Minogue and O’Leary, the two police officers as they investigate paranormal mysteries in Wellington. It is very funny.
"We're werewolves, not swearwolves" is in fact the 2nd best line. The Best line is when Vlad is talking about virgin blood "If you were going to eat a sandwich, you'd probably enjoy it better knowing no one has fucked it" BEST.DAMN.LINE. mic drop.
I really like Peter. Yeah, he doesn't say anything and he barley has any screen time, but I really have to appreciate his Nosferatu look! That is one old school reference I love right there! Aside from Peter, I will admit, Stu is a lovable character too! lol It's ALWAYS great to see you guys together reviewing movies! It brightens by Thursdays! :)
WOOOOOOO!!!!!! Me and my boyfriend, Jesse (yes... we're both named Jesse... its weird... i know). Well... we just celebrated our birthdays tonight (we're a week apart). We exchanged some star trek gifts (because we're nerds...). However we've been SOOOO been digging on the "What We Do In the Shadows" tv show lately.... And now... this. Shit man. Best early bday gift for me ever. But... more than that... So glad to see ya'll together again. WE GOT THE BAND BACK TOGETHER!!!
Randomly landed here (probably because I was watching the newest season of the show). I think this is probably the most pleasant-vibed movie review channel I've ever stumbled upon. You guys are smart but laid back and you seem to be great friends, def going to be watching more. I feel like everything I just wrote seems like an AI came up with it.
Hi guys. I just wanted to give my own personal theory on Petyr and why he looks the way he does. Perhaps Petyr slowly lost his human appearance over the ages because he gave into his more bestial, animalistic, bloodthirsty side. It's kind of like evolution in the sense that one's body changes to better suit their lifestyle or to adapt to their environment. The other three vampires look normal because they still choose to use their seductive charms to lure victims in whereas Petyr has long since abandoned this practice, choosing to instead rely on instinct, and is thus more monstrous as a result. In conclusion, I do believe age played a factor in Peytr's current state in that his body changed overtime the more and more savage he became. The other vampires have either yet to do the same or have no need to given how human society is today. Back when Petyr was younger, perhaps other vampires like himself were more like animals actively hunting for food rather than luring unsuspecting victims. But now what was once an advantage in the old times has become a disadvantage as human society has advanced to a point where the old vampires could no longer successfully hunt them without the risk of attracting attention from monster hunters who are capable of actually killing them once they are in sight.
He's also based off of Nosferatu (an old movie from the 20s). The other vampire roommates are based off of notable vampires in movies including Bram Stoker's Dracula, Lost Boys, and Interview with a vampire.
@@Vincisomething That is pretty neat. I did know about Petyr drawing inspiration from Nosferatu but I never knew about the inspirations for the other three. The more you know. Thanks :)
@@ikedewinter1213 True. Though in Shadow of The Vampire, starring Willem Dafoe as Max Shreck/Count Orlok, immortality does not necessarily equal eternal youth. In that film, Shreck is old, but due to his age his mind has deteriorated, his feeding erratic, and he is more animalistic.
I think Petyr is just the original vampire, or at least one of the original vampires. He's 8,000 years old, which is older than probably all of recorded history. Vampires can make other vampires, but how did the first vampire get created? In a deleted scene of Petyr's funeral, there is another vampire that looks like him so maybe there used to be a race of vampires who were born as vampires and were never human to begin with. That also might be why he can consume chicken blood while the other vampires have to consume only human blood, since they need the blood of their own species to survive, while a true vampire can use blood from any species. I love Petyr. He's so old he just does whatever the fuck he wants and it's pretty hilarious. He's not sweeping the skellingtons up. He's not coming to the flat meeting. He's not talking while the camera crew is there because he didn't agree to this because he wasn't at the flat meeting where you discussed it. Want food? Too bad, Petyr is lonely, so now you get a new friend. The line "who let Petyr out" is interesting. Maybe it implies Petyr is so old he has dementia or something and the other vampires are like his care takers. I'd be inclined to believe that given that he doesn't talk throughout the movie and literally creates the vampire that ends up killing him, but he was speaking as early as 180 years ago, so it doesn't seem too age related. Regardless, he nods in agreement when Nick tells him not to make Stu a vampire because Stu is a vegetarian, which is so pure. His death was so sad. Perhaps Petyr is the way he is because he eats chicken blood? Maybe the human blood diet is what keeps the other vampires looking like how they were when they died, and any other type of blood slowly morphs them. In that case, that make Petyr even more loveable because he sacrificed his human features so that he didn't have to kill anyone.
I dont think they all age into Nosferatu looking creatures like Peter. The characters all represent different archetypal vampire characters Deacon- Lost Boys/Near Dark, Vladislav - Dracula, Viago - Anne Rice Vampires, Peter- Nosferatu. Vampire: The Masquerade explains this very nicely by establishing different "clans" or bloodlines of different vampires with different traits and powers. WWDITS is a solid love letter to vampire lore in general.
As someone who likes Vampire The Masquerade this reminded me of a parody of that in the best way possible. Love this and the tv show. It's very hard to find good vampire stuff nowadays and this checked all the boxes. Especially enjoyed seeing a nosferatu style vampire.
Hells Yeah!!! 🤘🦇🤘 What we do in the Shadows is one of my favourite comedy horrors ever!! 🖤 Thanks OTSR 👊👊 But where the hell is Jess?? Not sure about this Iain fellow?! 🤔🤔
I strongly recomend the the tv series What We Do In The Shadows and Wellington Paranormal, both explore and expand upon this universe and have some cool cameos. xD
Why did NOBODY review this amazing movie? No Chris Stuckmann, no Jeremy Jahns, no YMS or IHE, no Ralph or Retlettermedia, just NO ONE!! Usually when I type any movie title into the RUclips search, those are the first channels, that come up in terms of reviews!....
I absolutely LOVE this movie!😀 The American tv show is also pretty damn awesome. A fun fact about the cops who show up at the house: they're the same cops from the show Wellington Paranormal, which also is very funny, though not quite What We Do In The Shadows funny🙂
@@BearPMP I'm afraid my dark sense of humor doesn't extend to animals. People? Ahh, fuck 'em. Put them through one sadistic scenario after another and I'll cackle wildly. Do likewise to a sweet lil' furry friend? Never. :P
Yes! Ben Fransham is the best. He was also in the film 30 days of night. So he has a way of playing vampires. He was also in all 3 Lord of the Rings films as an elf so also more vampire training lol. Anyway, this film rules! The werewolves always had me cracking up! "Say it don't spray it, bitch!"🤣 Thanks for reviewing this,yayyyyyy!!!!
Thanks for reviewing this guys! This is the best horror comedy ever made. I've seen this film about ten times and can virtually recite the whole movie from beginning to end. It's not for everyone, but if you're on the same page as the guys who made this, it's pure genius!
Aha, so happy to see you two review this, big fan of it and the series, film hit me especially because... Let's face it we've all done battle with...the Beast, at least once in our lives. 😂 Also, I know your struggle of getting the wife to watch it too, haha. Great work guys.
Can you 2 please review Godzilla (1954), Anaconda, Lake Placid, It 2017 and 2019, Jeepers Creepers, King Kong 1976, Phantasm sequels (if possible), Q the Winged Serpent, The Relic, Pumpkinhead, Them! (1954), The Beast From 20000 Fathoms, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Creature from the Black Lagoon
I have been social distancing while the pandemic has been around to avoid any negative impacts on myself, my family and Gary. The reviews with me in were recorded before Lockdown and the reviews with Jess are being recorded during Lockdown as Gary and Jess share the same household. Hopefully i can return soon :) Thanks for watching - Iain
how about a review of some other mockumentaries? especially the christopher guest ones "best in show" "waiting for guffman" "mighty wind" "Spinal tap" also have you seen the TV SHOW? and Wellington Paranormal?
Ok there’s a series on BBC one and FX, in fact there’s two. Nandor the Relentless, Nadja and Lazlo Cravensworth, and a half Van Helsing familiar called Guillermo. It’s just another group of Vampires living over in Stanton Island. The guys from the film pop up as members of the vampiric council. The series is NOT to remake the film it is just another group of vampires that have a camera crew. Nadja is f*cking hilarious.
Did you guys know there’s a second tv series spin-off to this film? It follows the policewoman as she investigates all kinds of weird shit. It’s called Wellington Paranormal! Love this film. Love Taika. Might have a full heterosexual crush on him 😳

Stu is the best character. He just cracks me up standing there.
Wonderful film. Need to check out the series now as well after watching this.
the boys are back!

“It’s a cult classic before it’s even a cult classic.” Could not have said it better. Brilliant film.
You guys never dissapoint! Cheers!
Was genuinely sad/scared when peter caught on fire! Definitely helps that I already loved flight of the conchords hahah
Ow dear God. You finally did this one. Right on chaps I love you guys!!!
Fantastic comedy. The spinoff series Wellington Paranormal featuring the two cops in the movie is hilarious too.
It's criminal you lads haven't got more subscribers, for your film reviews alone. Subscribe and enjoy guys.
Sadly i haven't watched this film yet, but after watching your excellent review i'll definitely be watching it tonight.
Super review as always.

Oh do not smite thee Supreme One!! I was just kidding!
This movie really caught me off guard. I thought it was gonna be silly. Turned out to be quite clever and funny. Very well done film.
I strongly recomend the the tv series What We Do In The Shadows and Wellington Paranormal, both explore and expand upon this universe and have some cool cameos. xD
wellington paranormal sucks dont advertise it. it'll embarass us

HELL YAAZ BOIS BLESSING US WITH AN UPLOAD. THANK YOU GUYS JUST IN TIME FOR MY DINNER!! TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE HEHE PERFECT TIMING.
I absolutely LOVE this movie!😀
The American tv show is also pretty damn awesome.
A fun fact about the cops who show up at the house:
they're the same cops from the show Wellington Paranormal, which also is very funny, though not quite What We Do In The Shadows funny🙂
Bit for me is when the cops blame the werewolf attack on the dog as it stares into the camera
That always rubbed me the wrong way, because, an innocent animal got framed & euthanized. 😔
@@alexlemonds2838 that's why it's funny
@@BearPMP I'm afraid my dark sense of humor doesn't extend to animals. People? Ahh, fuck 'em. Put them through one sadistic scenario after another and I'll cackle wildly. Do likewise to a sweet lil' furry friend? Never. :P
@@alexlemonds2838 dude it's a comedy movie
@@BearPMP I'm aware no actual animal cruelty took place, but, the idea still left me feeling uncomfortable.
"shame! bad vampire!"
I liked the video as the names came up
I love this film also Gary I've been playing dead space on PS3 and it's awesome thank you for introducing it to me 👊👊👊
New Zealanders have the best sense of humour, it's kinda sweet and innocent, like the Canadians.
I missed you guys!!
Great video guys. Anyone else hear the old cellphone sound in the background with the electrostatic? :)
OTSR 🤙🤙

Yooooo welcome back fellas.
Love this flick and the show on fx is just as good.
This movie is brilliant. I always considered it the Spinal Tap of vampire movies.
Awesome film, the TV show hit gold with the invention of Colin Robinson, the energy vampire.
I love this movie!
I love the weird brother relationship Deacon and Nick have.
For more vampire movies, check out "Love at First Bite", "Once Bitten (1985)", and "Innocent Blood".
TV series is easily the equal of the movie. Highly recommended.
For another funny vampire film, check out "Love at First Bite," with George Hamilton. "Children of the night! Shut up!"
*Turn up!*
Pure gold!! 😍 and gary, i LOVE your badass beard
Crackin' review as always. Will have to look out for this film.
Just a subtle hint but would love to see you guys review the 1976 film "Logan's Run".
I have been on the fence about this movie but now I am definitely going to watch it. Great review guys!
Sweet!!!

One of my favorite scenes is where they're talking about the age difference between the main man and his girl.

I highly recommend the TV show very entertaining!
Gary WHAT IS UP with that beard!! :D :D
Funniest movie I've seen in a loong time :)

👍🎬🎥👊
Did you guys know there’s a second tv series spin-off to this film? It follows the policewoman as she investigates all kinds of weird shit. It’s called Wellington Paranormal!

It's weird how good what we do in the shadows is cause thor is trash.
The tv show is garbage
Good video, thanks!
