What We Do In The Shadows [Blu-ray]

Only the New Zealand Documentary Board would take a stake in an up-close and personal “under the cape” look at four vampires and a guy named Stu bringing several thousand years of collective baggage into a shared living space. The dynamics of being undead while dealing with a duty wheel (disposing of their unique “leftovers” is a chore) and the constant threat of fatal sunburn keeps Vlad and the other lads at each other’s throats. “Flight of the Conchords” Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi (Eagle vs Shark) have created a timeless, or even eternal, comedy. Follow the lives of Viago, Deacon, and Vladislav, three flatmates who are just trying to get by and overcome life’s obstacles – like being immortal vampires who must feast on human blood. Hundreds of years old, the vampires are finding that beyond sunlight catastrophes, hitting the main artery, and not being able to get a sense of their wardrobe without a reflection, modern society has them struggling with the mundane like paying rent, trying to get into nightclubs, and overcoming flatmate conflicts.
