Critic Reviews for What We Do in the Shadows - MDBReviews
What We Do in the Shadows critic reviews provided by Metacritic.com

Tribune News Service | Roger Moore
A one-joke comedy about vampires, and yet another mockumentary/fake documentary, a gimmick that has turned seriously stale in recent years.

The New Yorker | Anthony Lane
It was with both joy and mystification, therefore, that I found myself cackling at What We Do in the Shadows like a witch with a helium balloon.

New York Observer | Rex Reed
Unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. What the bloodsuckers in this frolic actually do, in or out of the shadows, is make you laugh.

Rolling Stone | Peter Travers
Here's a vampire movie for people who don’t like vampire movies. What We Do in the Shadows is packed with laughs, almost all of them are intentional.

Empire | Dan Jolin
Here it is at long last: a truly great vampire comedy. And also the funniest horror film to come out of New Zealand since Braindead.

Village Voice | Stephanie Zacharek
What We Do in the Shadows is never as self-conscious as you fear it might be, and it has some of the loose, wiggy energy of early Jim Jarmusch, only with more bite. It makes getting poked a pleasure.

The Dissolve | Nathan Rabin
Unless this is an unusually great year for comedy, there will be few funnier or more quotable movies than What We Do In The Shadows.

Los Angeles Times | Michael Rechtshaffen
What might seem unlikely to endure beyond standard sketch length proves surprisingly resilient in the hands of directors Clement and Waititi, the team responsible for the equally droll "Flight of the Conchords."

Entertainment Weekly | Kevin P. Sullivan
What ends up carrying the movie is the sweetness of the characters, especially the lovelorn Viago and Stu , the one human the group won’t eat because he’s genuinely just a good dude.
