What We Do In The Shadows, film review: Repetitive and too long, but there is plenty of hilarity along the way

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.This is a Spinal Tap-style vampire comedy, shot as if it’s an observational documentary.
At its best, it is very funny indeed, with delightfully dry performances from Waititi (writer-director of record-breaking Kiwi comedy Boy) and Clement (of Flight of the Conchords fame.) They play vampires who share a house with other bloodsuckers in Wellington and are continually bickering about such subjects as the washing up and the rent. The film does repeat itself and seems a little stretched at feature length – but there is plenty of hilarity along the way.
