Jemaine Clement's and Taika Waititi's WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (2014)


The fruit that's hanging low but never picked,
Is it still fruit? It could have rotted. I,
For one, am sick of vampires, but was tricked
With silly genre mixing by this sly
Directing duo. Monster roommates fuss
O'er household chores and how to dress without
Reflections... Ev'ry rule is played for yucks.
What ultimately made me laugh and shout
The most was early-ish; we meet a pack
Of "werewolves, not swear-wolves" out in the night,
And Waititi as Viago, calling back
To Andy Kaufmann's Latka, a delight!
It's all quite gross and silly, juvenile
But also smart. I couldn't help but smile.
