You’re Dead By Norma Tanega & Norma Phyllis Kutzer Performed by Norma Tanega[theme song; played during the show’s opening credits]. What We Do in the Shadows follows a small group of vampires living together on Staten Island and the adventures they get into. The film, which follows a diverse group in Wellington, New Zealand, is excellent and I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it before.
If you love the movie, you’ll love the show!
What makes a show better than a movie is the episodic nature of television. Thanks to the episodic format, plots can start and end faster than a movie, characters can be developed more, and they can be thrown into a lot of crazy situations. The film had great world-building, but it could only do so much in its 85-minute runtime, and the show contributes to the fact that it had more time.
movie, were not involved
The show wouldn’t work if Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement, who wrote/directed/starred in the movie. They made sure that the tone, production design, cinematography and humor were all on par with the film. Thank god season 2 is coming!
