Brilliantly hilarious!
This is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Saw it for the first time on a plane in Australia, watched it again on another flight, bought the DVD in Auckland. To date, I've seen it 10 times and loved it every time and I'm not one to watch things over and over again. There are such clever subtleties that I notice each time I watch it that I hadn't seen the previous times (take notice of the actual name of the building where the Unholy Masquerade is held). They cover the day-to-day experiences we might all share, both humans and the undead, like doing dishes, but in a way that you'd imagine vampires would. Even they hate to wash the bloody things! They are multigeneration roommates and they really exploit their differences in the most humorous way. The DVD is fantastic! Even the main menu makes me laugh. It's an extended version of Deacon's erotic dance. Hysterical! This movie is so well done- the timing, the camera work, the improv, the music, the artwork the editing, the jokes, the set, and most of all the cast- just perfect. Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement were meticulous. Love it! So sad that someone didn't enjoy it because they failed to see the irony.
