10 Greatest Mockumentary Films Of All Time

10. What We Do In The Shadows

Movie producers are constantly finding out new tropes to explore involving vampires, ironically it’s a concept that just won’t die. But What We Do In The Shadows is unfurrowed land in the realm of modern day vampire viewing.

Featuring and directed by Kiwi Taika Waititi, currently working on Thor: Ragnorak movie of course, alongside Flight of the Conchords alum Jermaine Clement, What We Do In The Shadows does for vampires what Shaun of the Dead did for zombies.

This is an out and out funny movie. Something Christopher Guest would’ve been happy to make. As for the vampires themselves, they’re a tad slow, tragically flawed, intrinsically loveable and ultimately, rather human.

These are modern day vampires with Nosferatu stylings; elegantly dressed in lace collars and exquisite velvet suits whilst complaining that one of the housemates isn’t pulling his weight or how they can’t get into any clubs because the bouncers won’t invite them inside.

Add in an upstart ‘young’ vampire to the mix and Rhys Darby’s puritanical proclamation that “We’re Werewolves, not swear-wolves” and you get one of the sweetest comedies in modern movie times.

As many movies on this list will prove, it takes a lot of talent to be this stupid.
