It’s not funny, only its villains speak truth, and its putative heroes are now the horrible bosses… though the movie doesn’t seem to realize that.
What We Do in the Shadows movie review: there will be blood
An absolutely hilarious mockumentary combination of utter silliness, social satire, pop-culture cramdown, and heartfelt pathos. And vampires.

Dumb, pointless, unentertaining crap. But at least it’s about women. Yay? Nah.
