Taika Waititi talks about the making of What We Do in the Shadows
I LOVE What We Do in the Shadows, the 2014 horror-comedy mockumentary starring Taika Waititi, Jemaine Clement, and Jonathan Brugh as three vampires living together in a modern-day Wellington, New Zealand. So naturally, I was very interested to know what Waititi had to say about it during his recent BAFTA talk, so here are some of his best quotes.

I was pleasantly surprised. It was far more oddball and brilliantly funny that I expected.
