10 Vampire Movies That Broke All The Rules

10. What We Do In The Shadows

By 2014, it's fair to say that the post-Twilight vampire movie resurgence felt thoroughly played out, so trust Taika Waititi of all people to breathe fresh new life into it by way of an hilariously off-the-wall vampire mockumentary.

What We Do in the Shadows follows a quartet of vampires (Waititi, Jemaine Clement, Jonathan Brugh, and Ben Fransham) living together in a flat in New Zealand, as they attempt to find contentment while also keeping themselves fed.

Waititi does a fantastic job mining huge laughs from the sheer culture clash of these crusty old vampires living out their long lives in modern day Wellington, while his impressive eye for technically complex sight gags ensure every penny of the film's $1.6 million budget ends up on the screen.

Brilliantly, the film not only passes wink-wink comment on the moldiness of the vampire genre, but also offers up one of the most subversive and expectation-defying mockumentaries of all time.

The FX spin-off series of the same name is also well worth your time, though we're sadly still waiting for the already-announced, brilliantly-titled movie sequel, We're Wolves.
