Write a commentThe Oswego Film Group (OFG) presents a free screening and discussion of What We Do in the Shadows at 6 PM on Thursday, October 27. The film will be shown in the Community Room of the Oswego Public Library (120 East 2nd Street).
The 2015 film is a (mock) documentary about guys in a group house in Wellington, New Zealand. These guys happen to be vampires “trying to get by in modern society; from paying rent and doing housework to trying to get invited into nightclubs.... When their 8000 year-old roommate Petyr, turns 20-something human hipster Nick, into a vampire, the guys must guide him through his newfound eternal life. In return, they are forced to learn a thing or two about modern society, fashion, technology, and the internet. But it’s the introduction of Nick’s human friend, Stu, that really changes the vampires’ lives and attitudes toward the world around them. When Stu’s life is threatened, the vampires discover that humans are worth fighting for, and that even though a heart may be cold and dead, it can still have feelings.” (whatwedointheshadows.com). The film was written and directed by (and stars) Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement. Rated R, the film runs 86 minutes.
