The flatmates are based on vampires from different movies: Petyr is old school Nosferatu, Vladislav is the Count from Bram Stoker's Dracula, Viago is from Interview with A Vampire, and Deacon is straight out of The Lost Boys.

I'm sure I won't be the only person to comment this but, the entire movie was improvised. The character of Stu is a real person, (his actual name is Stuart), that was a friend of someone in the movie. Stu was on set and Taika liked him so he put him in the movie, he had no idea when they were filming and Taika told him to just react to the situations however you would normally.

Yeah, he's Taika's friend. He worked on Taika's previous films, went to high school with him and was his flatmate when they made the short film/test footage of this in 2005. He is also the guy who created the cool lighting effect used in that Valkyrie flashback in Thor Ragnarok. Oh and Taika said he set up the Wi-Fi in his mother's house and set up Jemaine's Wi-Fi (they mentioned that at a Q&A for this film to demonstrate how nice and helpful he is). He is an IT guy and the job he described in the movie was really his job.

the "he was on set so they put him in the movie" thing only really applies to the original pilot they did, by the time they filmed this finished product movie he had been involved with it for some time and had taken acting lessons and stuff. so yes, he was a non-actor who was just there to react to stuff originally, but not in this version of the movie. in this version of the movie, he's acting. it's not as good of a story, sure, but it's the truth lol

They've also been talking about another movie called "We're Wolves", so hopefully more comes of that, and we can see more of Stu and his pack.

Now here's a fun thing. Taika Waikiki also did Korg. Remember when Korg was suggesting several weapons to Thor to fight with? Like this wooden prong thing that was likely 'only really good if you wanted to fight three vampires huddled together for warmth or something'? ;D

you know it's good when he says "oh my goodness"

This is one of my favorite movies! I even named my cat Viago. You should check out the "What We Do In the Shadows" TV show. Taika Waititi and Jermaine Clement write and direct some of the episodes and also have cameos in an episode. It's different characters but is still done in a mockumentary style and has the same style of humor. All the episodes are on Hulu.

Love this movie. Introduced me to Taika. Jemaine Clemente is great from Flight of the Concord. Then I found out Taika worked on that.. Sticking to all the vampire lore helps the reality of it.

You should definitely watch the show for this. The first season is pretty close to the movie in terms of what happens, but it definitely branches out into something more

Honestly these days, most new films bore me. This was a MAJOR exception - it was one of the most creative, well-done, most enjoyable movies I think I've seen in the 20-teens. Really awesome watch-through of it too.

Idk if someone said it already, but all these guys made a short film with the same name and characters back in 2005. Also Stu is literally just one of their friend who is an IT guy in real life lol.

That's so awesome you are helping The Boys Watch and they are supporting you! You and them are some of my new favorite reactors!

This must be what every World of Darkness LARP in the 90s in New Zealand was like, was what I thought

The What We Do in the Shadows TV show is excellent as well. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is another really good Waititi movie, and it strikes a ton more similar to Jo Jo Rabbit. Also, Waititi and Chris Hemswroth did a mockumentry short while making Thor Ragnarok, to show off what Thor was up to while Civil War was happening.

This movie has tons of the kind of subtle humor I like. For instance, when all that blood gets everywhere when Viago attacks the woman early on, and he's talking to the camera while holding a roll of paper towels. Or when the new vampire tries to fly in through the window in that smooth vampire way and it turns into an awkward and clumsy moment.

There was a show of this that was pretty fantastic. A new season has been announced

Great video that I just found. FYI, The Big Kumara and Boogie Wonderland were both Real Bars in Wellington, New Zealand at the time. Both have since closed down. I cannot confirm if it is because of the vampire murders.

The Only Lovers Left Alive is another "I am tired of being a vampire" movie Jim Jarmusch director. Set in Detroit. Also, Flight of the Conchords is great series to look into,music/comedy 🙂👍

Also one of my favourite crossovers in this is the cops are from a new Zealand show that imitates COPS but with the paranormal it's called Wellington paranormal it fits so well into the movie.

Just in case you didn’t know, Viago is taika waititi and the guy that plays vlad also helped write it

at 16:38 those two police officers are from a tv series called Wellington Paranormal which as created by the What We Do in the Shadows creators Jemaine Clement

Ooo, I highly recommend the mother of all mockumentaries: This is Spinal Tap Also, An American Werewolf in London for he practical effects. Rick Baker won the first ever special effects makeup Academy Award for them.

One of my favorite details in this movie is how each of the vampires in the house represents a different era in the history of vampires in pop culture. Petyr is clearly Nosferatu, the first film Vampire. Vladislav is clearly a reference to Vlad Dracula, aka Vlad the impaler, who was a magor inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Viago as the untight 18th century dandy is an Anne Rice era vampire. Now Deacon is a little different in that he combines characteristics from two movies that came out the same year, The Lost Boys, and Near Dark, that's why he's the youngest until... Nick, who I shouldn't have to explain since the character explicitly says, "I'm Twilight!" As someone who's been a fan of vampires since I was a kid this movie hit all the right buttons. 😊

they made a tv show here in NZ called "Wellington paranormal" That's all about the two cops LOL it's so funny and very much in the vein of this film. Another Taika classic you might enjoy is called BOY. They filmed it in my birthplace!
