Hey what's up guys.
Today I'll show you a vampire-mockumentary film: "What We Do in the Shadows"! Spoiler
ahead, watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a documentary team filming several members of a paranormal secret society
in New Zealand.
This secret society had flourished for centuries, unseen and unknown by regular humans.
But leading up to their much-anticipated gathering, they granted the documentary crew an unprecedented
glimpse into their lives.
Due to the dark nature of these members, the documentary crew is granted protection from
them.
They also wear crucifixes as an added measure.
The documentary features Viago, the first of the secret society members.
He is a vampire and has been alive for 379 years already.
He has pale skin, a European accent, and is wearing a dark coat and a cravat, that both
look like they were from the 18th century.
He rises from his coffin awkwardly, and tentatively flings the curtain back to look at the window,
to check if it's already nighttime.
Viago talks to the crew as he walks around the apartment, explaining that he lives with
three other vampires.
He goes to a closet, and opens it to reveal the second roommate, Deacon, who is hanging
upside down like a spider.
Deacon hisses as he wakes up, flinching from the bright light of the video camera.
The good-natured Viago asks Deacon what he did last night, and he responds that he transformed
into a dog, and mated with another dog in a doggy style.
Viago then informs Deacon that they will be having a meeting with all the roommates in
a little while.
Viago knocks on the bedroom next door to wake the third roommate, Vladislav.
However, Vladislav is still awake and is in the company of several naked women.
Viago closes the door immediately in shock.
A second later, Vladislav opens it himself, and his room is now empty of women, but still
filled with their smelly hormones.
Viago informs him of the meeting in 10 minutes, but Vladislav says he needs some more time.
After that, Viago goes down to the basement to wake up the last roommate, Petyr.
He looks so much older than Viago and the others.
Furthermore, Petyr spends most of his days inside his stone tomb, and doesn't really
like socializing in the vampire community due to his social phobia.
Hence, he refuses to attend the meeting.
So the remaining three roommates convene the meeting.
The reason for the meeting is that Deacon is not doing his share of the household chores.
He hasn't done his dishes for five years now, and there is a mountain of plates with blood
all over them on the kitchen sink.
Deacon is a relatively younger vampire, and Viago thinks he's being young and rebellious.
He used to be a merchant who traveled from town to town.
One day, he visited a scary castle, and was turned by the vampire who lived there.
Meanwhile, Vladislav is more than 800 years old already, so he is having a harder time
adjusting to the modern world.
He still carries a lot of backward beliefs, like being pro-slavery.
When he was turned during the medieval ages, he became a brutal torturer.
The crew interviews Vladislav and Deacon next about Viago.
They both think that Viago is a bit controlling and too disciplined.
He's the one who is keeping the apartment tidy, and assigns the chores the others won't
do.
Viago and Deacon get into a brief spat about the disgusting dishes, and in the end, Deacon
washes them with a toilet brush.
A montage shows individual and group pictures of the four roommates together through the
years.
There is a scene where Viago is working on pottery, and he explains that vampires have
a bad reputation, and he hopes that they can change that.
In another scene, Deacon reveals that he was a Nazi vampire.
He was turned as part of Hitler's secret vampire army project.
Viago shares with the crew that he was originally mailed to New Zealand to find his beautiful
human lover.
But his servant put the wrong postage stamp on his coffin, and it took him 18 months before
he finally arrived in New Zealand.
He was too late; his lover had already fallen in love and married another man.
That night, the three vampire roommates go out to town to attract human victims with
their vampire hormones.
The problem is that they have to be invited inside buildings before they can come in.
The three of them are barred entry from clubs, so they walk around trying to find another.
They encounter other vampires they know, like a young woman draining the blood of her old
co-worker.
They also meet two young female vampires, whose mission is to kill pedophiles.
They finally enter a club, but it's nearly empty.
Deacon meets with his familiar there, a young woman who had entered servitude to him, in
exchange for Deacon turning her into a vampire.
He orders his familiar to invite several humans, preferably virgins, to a dinner party he will
be throwing at the apartment.
Meanwhile, Viago manages to lure an unsuspecting young woman back to the apartment.
She thinks that he wants to sleep with her, so she eagerly bares her neck, hoping for
a passionate tongue massage.
Viago spares her sexy body but bites her neck, and a lot of blood spurts out, drenching his
clothes and the room.
Somewhere in town, Vladislav is trying his best to appear like a ghost outside someone's
house, playing trick or treat.
After a few minutes, the annoyed old man living there finally invites him in.
It is revealed that Vladislav used to have tremendous vampire powers like shapeshifting
and hypnotism, but after he was defeated in battle by The Beast, he was never the same
again.
He isn't as terrifying anymore, and he can't even completely shapeshift now, due to his
vampire-hood trauma.
The familiar wrangles a blonde and a tattooed man named Nick as guests, and unsuspecting
victims to the party.
The blonde was a college classmate of the familiar, who started a nasty nickname about
her.
Nick was her childhood sweetheart.
The moment they enter the dining room, they begin to sense that something is wrong.
Viago serves them bisghetti that turns out to be worms, and Vladislav turns Nick's smelly
sausage into a snake, possibly the one with a rattling vibration.
Nick gets creeped out and leaves the dining room.
But he discovers that the front door is locked and he cannot escape.
He is chased around the house by the three roommates.
At one point, he sees Vladislav as a cat, but with a human face.
Nick runs to the basement, but he is eaten by the social-phobic Petyr.
Two months later, it turns out, Nick was turned into a vampire by Petyr.
He is now loving the vampire life, especially his ability to fly.
He recounts to the documentary crew that he woke up after Petyr drained his blood, and
the vampire offered him some of his blood to suck on.
He complied and then left the house to go to a hospital.
When he came home, he began to undergo the transformation process that included bending
his body and bleeding blood from his eyes.
Nick now lives with the four roommates, and they are trying to teach him the ropes.
The three vampire roommates go out with Nick and his friend.
Because of Nick, they are able to get into a hip and cool club.
Deacon doesn't really like Nick, and he complains to Viago that he's copying Deacon's clothes.
After the club, they take a walk and encounter werewolves in their human forms.
Due to the rivalry between vampires and werewolves, a fight almost breaks out.
Nick eventually confesses to his friend that he's a vampire now, and the friend accepts
him wholeheartedly.
The friend also teaches Viago and the others how to operate modern technology, like cameras
and iphones.
The friend helps set up a video call between Viago and his now-90-year-old servant.
He informs the servant that he messed up in shipping the coffin, causing Viago to arrive
in New Zealand too late.
However, the servant expresses that he has been waiting for decades for Viago to turn
him into a vampire.
Viago just awkwardly ends the call.
Nick goes to the club again, and tries impressing people by saying he's a vampire.
One of these people replies, saying that he's a vampire hunter.
Deacon gets angry at Nick for being careless, and they fight.
Later, it is shown that Nick is having trouble adjusting to life as a vampire.
He eats a fried chip, and throws up so much blood.
Deacon visits his familiar, who is married and has kids of her own.
He blames her for getting Nick as a guest to his dinner party, and he adds more years
to her servitude as punishment.
The familiar gets frustrated that Nick gets turned into a vampire easily, while she has
to toil for years as a slave.
Viago tracks down his lover, who is now an old woman living in a retirement home.
He floats outside her window, but doesn't make his presence known.
When he gets back home, he scans the old picture he has of her, and prints it on a bond paper,
using the technical skills the friend had taught him.
He pastes the newly-printed picture on his coffin, so it would be the last thing he sees
before he sleeps, and the first thing he sees when he wakes up.
Apparently, the picture works far better than a little piece of viagra for Viago.
In an interview, Viago says that he wanted to kill his lover's husband out of jealousy.
But he saw how happy his lover was, so he let her be.
One morning, they hear screams coming from the basement.
Viago opens the door, only to see Petyr is burning, because sunlight has somehow gotten
into the basement.
When night falls, they go down to the basement to figure out what happened.
A window was broken and a human corpse was also in the room.
Nick recognizes the human as the vampire hunter in the club that he thought was joking.
There are homemade wooden stakes inside his coat.
The roommates deduce that the vampire hunter had broken inside their apartment through
the window.
Petyr woke up and killed the hunter, but the sunlight burned him to death.
After learning that it's Nick's bragging that led to Petyr's death, Deacon fights him.
However, the fight is interrupted when a couple of cops knock on their door.
They were called to the apartment due to the strange noises the neighbors heard.
Viago hypnotizes the cops, but that could wear off any second because he isn't that
great at hypnotism.
The cops look around the house, not noticing Nick on the ceiling and the corpse of the
vampire hunter.
After the cops leave, Viago calls another roommate meeting, to put Nick on trial for
his crimes.
They decide that he's banished from the apartment indefinitely.
But his human friend is free to visit anytime.
Nick is also punished with the procession of shame.
He stands around in the yard, while the other roommates circle him, and say "shame"!
Several months later, the roommates receive an invitation to the annual ball of their
secret society.
All supernatural creatures like vampires, witches, and banshees will be there.
However, the guest of honor is The Beast, Vladislav's enemy.
Vladislav reacts by going to another room and throwing things around.
Vladislav always describes The Beast as a fearsome monster, and he gets upset that The
Beast will be at the ball.
As a result, he refuses to attend the event.
The remaining roommates attend the ball, which is being held in a bowling club.
The familiar surprises Deacon.
She's now finally a vampire, and she excitedly reveals that Nick had turned her.
Nick is also at the ball.
It's revealed that The Beast is actually a female vampire, who was in a relationship
with Vladislav.
They had a years-long toxic hormone-ship that left Vladislav broken.
She introduces herself to Viago and the roommates, and discovers that the friend is a human.
When this information spreads to the other creatures in the ball, they get angry that
a human is present.
They all want to eat their friend.
Vladislav arrives and tries to use intimidation to get the other vampires to back away.
The Beast is surprised to see her former paramour, especially since she attended the ball with
her new vampire boyfriend.
Vladislav challenges the boyfriend to a fight, and they tussle as the crowd watches them.
Vladislav screams that vampires aren't allowed to kill other vampires.
Suddenly, the boyfriend stops moving.
There is a long metal flagpole sticking out his chest.
It turns out, the friend snuck up behind them, and impaled Vladislav's hormone rival with
a flagpole.
The roommates and the friend make their escape.
They laugh about what happened, and congratulate their human friend for being brave.
However, they run into the same pack of werewolves while walking.
It's a full moon, so the wolves are preparing for a transformation.
They urge the vampires and the crew to run, since they no longer have control of their
urges.
They all break into a run.
But the werewolves are too fast, and they maul the friend and one of the cameramen.
Nick arrives and watches as the wolves feast on his friend.
The roommates grieve the friend's death.
Deacon in particular, comforts Nick in a rare moment of kindness.
The same two cops who visited the apartment earlier, are called to the scene of what appears
to be a dog attack.
They find the dead bodies there.
The next night, Nick appears at their front door with the friend still alive.
There are claw marks on his face.
Behind them is a werewolf pack.
Apparently, the friend had survived the attack, and was turned into a werewolf.
When morning came, the werewolves helped him adjust to his transformation.
This starts a new friendship between the pack and the roommates.
They have a cosplay party together, and they seem to be getting along fine.
Another guest at the party is Viago's grandma lover, who he had turned into a vampire, after
he showed up in her room filled with dying hormones.
The movie ends with an interview with the two of them, saying they are happily in interracial
love.
Several post-credits scenes show Vladislav getting back together with The Beast, but
they are quickly back at their old toxic dynamic.
Deacon's former familiar who is now a vampire, turns her own husband into her servant as
well.
She orders her servant husband around, and he hopes he'll join the vampire community
soon.
The last post-credits scene is Viago performing hypnosis on the movie audience, and ordering
them to forget what they saw!
