The best review I've ever read about this film was "what we do in the shadows changed the vampire genre forever by asking a simple question: what if they were fucking stupid."
So for one of the biggest reasons for their wardrobe is to distinguish what vampires they are. Vladislav is Dracula with his three brides, Deacon is Lost boys with the sleeping upside down, Peter is Count Orlock from Nosferatu, and Taika is Anne Rice vampires with his Victorian look and needs for romance.
Yup Vlad the poker....(Impaler). My fav detail from the NZ show before they made the American one is when Stu us trying teach them how to use computers and he says you put them contacts in "friends" then later you can poke at them....Vlad goes "you don't say....".
My favourite detail is that Stu wasn't played by an actor - he was the director's friend Stu Rutherford who actually did IT work at the time (although since then he's started a special effects company).
i mean yeah he is an old friend, he actually was in the earliest draft of wwds with taika and the rest of vampires, i think it is still up on youtube somewhere
The 2 police officers had their own show "Wellington Paranormal" Its also a "documentary". It ran from 2018-2022. The film crew follows them around to all the strange calls they have to respond to. LOL. What We Do in the Shadows TV series is also a mocumentary, I love it!
There are SO many legitimately laugh out loud lines and bits that it's hard to count, but that double take Vladislav does as he reveals himself to "The Beast" is one of the most specific but hilarious things I've ever seen 😂
@@mrpickmanb I thought maybe with Rhys being done with Our Flag Means Death (boo, it needs a 3rd season!) it might have some chance of being picked back up. No such luck so far.
Hey, guys. The film is great. I could not imagine how a television series with new actors and characters could possibly be good. But the series is even better. You two would love it.
The spinoff TV shows, What We Do In The Shadows (mockumentary following a different bunch of vampires), and, Wellington Paranormal (mockumentary following the cops from this movie), are absolutely fantastic!
As far as vampire lore tied to christian mythos, a common tale is that Caine (eldest son of Adam and Eve) was the first vampire (as a punishment for murdering his brother and lying to god). Depending on how far back you want to believe the story goes, Caine would be between 10,000 and 300,000 years old.
The TV series is not an adaptation of the film but sort of a spin off set in Staten Island. They also include an Energy vampire that drains people's energy by boring them to death.
This movie made my personal top 10 comedies. "We're Werewolves. Not Swear-wolves." 😭 I became a huge Jemaine Clement and Rhys Darby fan from Flight of the Conchords, but everyone was so good in this movie!
I have loved this movie ever since a friend recommended it to me years ago. So I thought I should get them to react to it for a fun time after the traumatizing pick from the previous month. I hope this made up for it Mrs Movies. Next month I am picking an epic martial arts action film.
8000 years ago is earlier than Egypt, it would be Neolithic times or the very early Copper Age - so people were farming but mostly still using stone tools. So Peter is definitely an old Vampire.
If you like stuff like this "Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon" could be a movie for you :) a filming team is following a soon-to-be slasher killer like jason or freddy and he explains to them what a slasher has to do to prepare for their special night. Such a cool meta slasher with a fanastic cast
Not gonna lie. This is one of my top 3 favorite movies of all time. The TV show holds up to the movies quality as well. I highly recommend the TV show.
I’ve watched the tv series all the way through 3 times already and will watch it every 6 months or so. It never gets old…even better than the movie. It’s a spinoff of the movie in the mockumentary style, and the movie main characters make a few cameo appearances, along with some other famous actors that have played vampires (including Pee Wee Herman).
"its dark at 6pm?"... yep, during middle of winter here in NZ it gets dark by about 5:30pm, or at least the suns bellow the horizon... then in summer it doesnt get dark until about 8pm lol. Their also in Wellington, which is further south than where im at... so it would definitely would be dark by 6pm.
the earliest literary references of vampires (not with that name, of course) are approximately from 1100 B.C in Russia, so the name Petyr and his age make the most sense for an old vampire
🦇🐺 This was my first intro to Taika Waititi and I've been a fan ever since! *WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (2014)* is the best mockumentary of Nosferatu, Coppola's Dracula, and the Twilght Saga. Plus the ending is so sweet, how could it not be something of a cult favorite!
@@pohanahawaii didn't like it just not a fan of his comedy I think the only reason I like this and the series is I used to play a vampire rpg and alot of the actions taken by the characters really felt like half of the crap that would happen during our sessions
Vampires don't have reflections because traditionally mirrors are glass with a silver backing. Silver is one of a vampire's weakness, which is why it burns and prevents a reflection.
You guys really need to watch Behind The Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon.. similar concept to this movie, only the camera crew follow around a would-be slasher as he practices things like walking really slowly but somehow still catching up with a running teenager.
When Deacon's familiar says she wants to talk to him about something and he says "the dishes?" - I remember that made me laugh really hard. If you guys fancy a TV show, Flight of the Concords was hilarious and has some of the same talent behind it! I think it's two seasons, six episodes each (pretty sure)
4:13 that old vampire from $:13 looks like vampire Nosferatu from "Nosferatu; Symphony of horror" one of the first movies about vampires from 1922. it is an icon of the worold cinemathography andculture.
The show takes place in the southern hemisphere. 6pm in June is like Our 6pm January. It's midnight lol EDIT: You literally state this after I commented... *flips table* Vlad is my favorite, easily. Jermaine Dupree is an icon in comedy. Love his voiceover work in kid's movies too. I laughed so hard watching this with you guys when Stu is telling him his options on Facebook "You can poke them" *Vlad stares intensely* "YES"
THE SERIES HAS AN EPISODE "VAMPIRE COUNCIL" WITH GUEST STARS WHO ALL PLAYED VAMPIRES!!! TILDA SWINTON JEMAINE CLEMENT TAIKA WATITI WESLEY SNIPES DANNY TREJO PAUL RUBENS AND COUPLE OTHERS.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Greatest Vampire movies of all time. "No order" Fright Night 1985, John Carpenter's Vampires 1998, Blade ll 2002, Near Dark 1987, and The Twilight Saga. 🤣
This movie is made in Wellington New Zealand. Made by two of our most world famous actor/ comedians. You will recognise them. One of them plays the bad guy on Men in Black 3, boatie in Avatar 2 and the voice of the crab in Moana.
"Man Bites Dog" is about as dark as dark comedy gets. Pitch black looks at it and thinks "ooh, that's a bit dark". I had the t-shirt of the poster, with the guy shooting downward and a blood-soaked pacifier coming up. Often caused problems getting into pubs / clubs.
Hello Mr. & Mrs. Movies!😊 In June in New Zealand the sunset is about 5:30PM, Kids. Peter killed in the prime of his undead life!😭 Great reactions to this memorable? film I guess!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The TV show is a similar format to this movie, just a different cast. PETER!!!!😭
This movie is seriously fucking HILARIOUS. I genuinely can't remember the last time I laughed so much at a film, it's pure genius. It really can't be overstated how great this is. Only other film that came close in recent memory was Four Lions, which is a riot of dark humour.
it was a sunlight accident rather than a vampire accident. another kiwi film worth checking out is 'Scarfies' about a student flat in a university city
In the scene where the werewolves are chaining themselves up, Rhys Darby(main werewolf) was actually getting pissed off, he was tired and wanted to get the scene done but the other guys were instructed, without Rhys knowing, to basically piss him off more 😂 also Stu had no idea what was going on most of the time, he was the IT guy on the movie itself and one of Taika's friends
This movie is absolute genius. Such a perfect pairing of characters. So this movie spawned two hilarious spinoffs. The TV show by the same name, which basically continues the story but with a different yet just as funny cast of vamps. The second show is called "Wellington Paranormal" which is also documentary style, but in it a camera crew follows around the two cops that we meet in this movie as they investigate paranormal happening similar to their visit to this house of vampires. Those two actors that play the constables are hilarious together.
The whole no reflections thing comes from mirrors in the old world having backings made of silver (one of their weaknesses), which now they do not. So vampires these days would have reflections, hence you'd never know.
8,000 years ago (6000 BC): Evidence of habitation at the current site of Aleppo dates to about c. 8,000 years ago, although excavations at Tell Qaramel, 25 kilometers north of the city show the area was inhabited about 13,000 years ago, Carbon-14 dating at Tell Ramad, on the outskirts of Damascus, suggests that the site may have been occupied since the second half of the seventh millennium BC, possibly around 6300 BC. However, evidence of settlement in the wider Barada basin dating back to 9000 BC exists.
The TV show is absolutely worth the watch. It is hilarious! It takes place in the same continuity as the movie but instead of following the New Zealand vamps from the movie, it follows a group of vamps in New York but they're all also old European vampires. The show is great. Please react to it!
If you guys are in a vampire mood, have you watched "Near Dark"? It's a different look at vampires in the modern day (well, the 80s) starring some of our favorite people from the film "Aliens". It's all about 'found family', but with vampires. Directed by an Academy Award winner (but not for this film).
Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) and Taika Warmth (Director of "JoJo Rabbit" & plays Hitler) and a Thor film. They both write, produced the WWDITS Series on FX 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 HILARIOUS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
The first time I saw this was on an airplane, I was just trying to find something to pass the time as it was a long flight. I felt so bad for the other people on the plane because I was cracking up the entire time 😂
One of the greatest movies ever. The TV series expands on it brilliantly (and has some great cameos). Each character represents a different style of vampire from all through the years. Viago = Ann Rice novels, Vlad = literal Dracula (specifically Copola movie), Deacon = Lost Boys or Near Dark, Peter = Maybe Nosferatu but I liken him to more Salem's Lot.
Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement - the best, lol, don't forget Stu, though :P Ancient Egypt was, indeed, some of the oldest "recording" of vampires (scrolls and tablets, etc.), but the stories go back far more than 8.000 years, clearly. Stories of humans becoming various monsters are known in every culture throughout all of known human history. I, myself, have been declared "clinically dead" 3 times. Guess that makes me a zombie, haha. Pro tip: Those electric paddles hurt - even after days of being Frankensteined o_O
This isn't the funniest movie, but I will always recommend someone watch it. The concept is so fun and unique; it's a must-see. Also, points for Man Bites Dog. I watched that on a whim a few years ago. I had never seen anything like it.
This movie really grew on me, when it first starting airing a lot on HBO, and was the first Taika Waititi movie I watched. Ended up watching the spinoff Wellington Paranormal, about the 2 cops, who end up in misadventures with other paranormal beings. It was ok, but I definitely loved the WWDITS tv show, which is about vampire roommates living in Staten Island instead of New Zealand. I couldn't even tell you who is my favourite vampire in the show, because they are all great and uniquely funny in their own ways, and the mixed chemistry between them all is greatly written.
Personally haven't watched the TV show, but I think its probably a little more 'American' than the film so sits better for non-NZers (most people tend to say they prefer the show to the movie)... NZ movies have a vibe to them that doesn't often gel completely with with others, like little bits and pieces that might go unnoticed.
@@NZBigfoot It's a more american setting, with more of, "The Office" feel because it takes place in New York, but the characters are more european. one being a gypsy, a englishman, and an ottoman warrior. The last one is an american vampire, but definitely a very different type of vampire. It's only better, because it's longer, and gets to explore aspects of vampiric life in more detail with each episode, but the first 3 seasons were written by Jermaine Clement, who plays Vladislav in the movie. The movie set out the blueprint for the show, which is why it is good!
Absolutely an amazing movie that is super underrated that not enough people talk about but what an incredible show honestly the show is so f****** good😅
Such a fun, sweet movie. Lots of laughs. Viago is hilarious. Taika plays him so well. The tv series is a really fun time. If you enjoyed the movie it'll be an easy fit.
YESSSSSSS!!!! NOW WE NEED YALL TO REACT TO THE SHOW!!! The hype is real, sorry for all caps. 🤓

I adore this mockumentary. Never get tired of rewatching, it's such a masterpiece
You should watch, Shadow of the Vampire [2000]. It stars Willem Dafoe, John Malkovich and is unique among vampire movies.
9:17 I still dress as I did in the 70s.
Maybe fashions from 150 years ago feel fresh when you're 500
Drop Dead Gorgeous is the best mockumentary imo
I've never clicked so fast! This movie is everything and the show is just as good!!
The dark bidding on the internet is such an underrated goof
If you were a parent who became a vampire, you could watch over your family for generations.
This movie is seriously fucking HILARIOUS. I genuinely can't remember the last time I laughed so much at a film, it's pure genius.
It really can't be overstated how great this is. Only other film that came close in recent memory was Four Lions, which is a riot of dark humour.

Also worth mentioning, those cops have their own spin-off show: Wellington Paranormal.
The show is worth a watch, their Vampire Council has some great cameos in it made up of actors who played vampires in movies.
The Series is fantastic too!!! Colin is one of the best characters on a TV show EVER. total of 50 episode right now in 5 seasons! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
When Vladislav finds out that you can "poke" people on Facebook...
The whole no reflections thing comes from mirrors in the old world having backings made of silver (one of their weaknesses), which now they do not. So vampires these days would have reflections, hence you'd never know.
8,000 years ago (6000 BC): Evidence of habitation at the current site of Aleppo dates to about c. 8,000 years ago, although excavations at Tell Qaramel, 25 kilometers north of the city show the area was inhabited about 13,000 years ago, Carbon-14 dating at Tell Ramad, on the outskirts of Damascus, suggests that the site may have been occupied since the second half of the seventh millennium BC, possibly around 6300 BC.

Also, points for Man Bites Dog. I watched that on a whim a few years ago. I had never seen anything like it.
loved your bit at the end
There's a mockumentery called "Colin" - it follows a typical day in the life of a Zombie, called Colin.
I loved the movie. Taika Waititi is a genius.
He was until after Jojo Rabbit and he started making garbage lol
Perdeu a mão em Thor love and thunder, mas é bom diretor, acho que ele deveria continuar na comédia B, onde ele se encaixa perfeitamente
@@reservoirdude92he is still great
This movie really grew on me, when it first starting airing a lot on HBO, and was the first Taika Waititi movie I watched. Ended up watching the spinoff Wellington Paranormal, about the 2 cops, who end up in misadventures with other paranormal beings. It was ok, but I definitely loved the WWDITS tv show, which is about vampire roommates living in Staten Island instead of New Zealand. I couldn't even tell you who is my favourite vampire in the show, because they are all great and uniquely funny in their own ways, and the mixed chemistry between them all is greatly written.
Personally haven't watched the TV show, but I think its probably a little more 'American' than the film so sits better for non-NZers (most people tend to say they prefer the show to the movie)... NZ movies have a vibe to them that doesn't often gel completely with with others, like little bits and pieces that might go unnoticed.
@@NZBigfoot It's a more american setting, with more of, "The Office" feel because it takes place in New York, but the characters are more european. one being a gypsy, a englishman, and an ottoman warrior. The last one is an american vampire, but definitely a very different type of vampire. It's only better, because it's longer, and gets to explore aspects of vampiric life in more detail with each episode, but the first 3 seasons were written by Jermaine Clement, who plays Vladislav in the movie.
The movie set out the blueprint for the show, which is why it is good!
The show is pretty damn funny, but this movie is absolutely hysterical😂
I love this movie. 😂
Absolutely an amazing movie that is super underrated that not enough people talk about but what an incredible show honestly the show is so f****** good😅
HELL YEAH NEW WWDITS REACTION! aka another excuse to rewatch the movie 🤣
Amazing! You guys were just nailing the predictions in this.
Such a fun, sweet movie. Lots of laughs. Viago is hilarious. Taika plays him so well. The tv series is a really fun time. If you enjoyed the movie it'll be an easy fit.
Such an awesome movie that birthed an even better show. So glad you’re doing this one.
Props for the Tecmo Bowl T-Shirt (but it should be Bo Jackson)
I’m so glad you guys did this one! Legitimately my favorite movie of all time
