6/10
An early indicator of a successful feature film

"What We Do in the Shadows: Interviews with Some Vampires" is a live action short film from New Zealand that was made over 10 years ago and people will immediately recognize the connection to the successful full feature film from last year. Both were made by 7-time Emmy nominee Jemaine Clement and Oscar nominee Taika Waititi and focus on the pretty ordinary life of vampires. This one here runs for shortly under half an hour and deals with the subject of how a trio of vampires lives together in an apartment and they need to make sure everybody fulfills his cleaning duties. But of course they also need the blood. In one of the funniest moments of the film, there is talk about a virgin being like a sandwich that nobody has eaten before. In general, the humor and line delivery here felt a lot like the approach Sacha Baron Cohen gives his comedy. I think it is a really good watch for people who enjoy (somewhat different = not creepy) vampire films. Go check it out and if you like it, see the new movie that came out a year ago or two.
