Viewing Notes

Movie #2 of Day 3 at Stanley Film Fest. Easily one of my favorites of the 11 new films I saw during the weekend. Knew this would be funny going in but didn’t expect it to be so clever. The 7 years spent writing the screenplay definitely shows. What’s great is that this movie could have easily worked before this recent vampire renaissance (but works even better now). Taika provided a hilarious intro and Q&A afterwards. See this movie unless you hate laughing.
