Thanks to everyone who informed me about "Wellington Paranormal", I do have access to all 4 seasons, I will react to probably just one episode on the channel. Any recommendations on what episode i should check out?
this is such a cult classic and rightfully so! I love how 90% of it was improv, Stu wasn't an actor and wasn't meant to be in it so much but they were just like "lol, let's have our bro and IT guy for the films in it for the funsies and specifically tell him NOT to take acting classes but just to ...do shit!", how they riled Rhys (Anton) up by making the nightshoot sooooo much longer than neccessary up to the point where he was genuinely so exhausted he got pissed off, how their budget was approx. 14,50 and they stole greenscreens and furniture and shit from the leftover hobbit set and how there's at least a 100 hours of unseen material Oh and...the vampires are all based on "classic" ones, like Vlad is obviously based on Dracula, then you've got Interview with a Vampire, Nosferatu, your twilight references, vampire diaries etc. It's just so, so brilliant! Thanks for the amazing reaction, I ADORED your genuine joy!
It’s funny you mention the I.T. Crowd because Matt Berry who plays Douglas is in the tv show version of What We Do in the Shadows which you should definitely watch
@@AdamfromFWCI there's another spin-off of this movie called Wellington Paranormal (it follows the cops from this movie, and it's just as good). And yes, that was Jemaine Clement from Flight of The Conchords. He's created the WWDiTS show and Wellington Parnormal as well.
34:50, It looks like the Deacon was ad-libbing the most over the top, silliest scenearios to make the guy playing Nick crack up, while you can see Nick trying so hard to keep a straight face and not burst into laughter.
One of my fav movies/series The show takes the movie and just runs away with the concept, in an amazingly satisfying way. Keep up the good schitt my dude
The Big Kumara was a real bar in Wellington, that location in Cuba Mall was so many different bars over the years and they pretty much all sucked and closed down lol so that being the vampires' fave haunt is some classic Wellington humour. The SFX are good because Weta Workshop did them. Yes it's Jemaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords, also Rhys Darby who played Murray in FOTC as the alpha werewolf. And yes most of the movie was improvised lol.
I also remember someone saying that some students at the time were saying that there was a weird cult of people running around Wellington - turns out, it was them, filming
I love this movie so much! The tv is also good but it feels very American sitcom to me instead of documentary :( I’ve got a Werewolves Not as werewolves T shirt!!!
You've prob already seen it and/or gotten a billion recommendations, but if you're going to dip your toes into early Taika and you have not seen Hunt For The Wilderpeople you should move that to the top of you list right away. There are 2 comedy movie scenes that in my mind represent the best comedy writing ever by letting simple, reasonable, and very believeable misunderstandings spiral into hilarity - "you're going the wrong way" from Planes, Trains & Automobiles and the cabin scene in HFTW. Don't know how he got Sam Neill to be in this movie before anybody outside of film school knew who he (Taika) was. And little Ricky Baker was a revelation too - so good that he was right away grabbed and added to the Marvel Universe..
This was a good bit of fun, the original movie, thanks! I like the way you have it overlayed during your commentary too. That's a good idea! I thought the 'shaming circle' was pretty funny. and the kind of compromise Iago could settle with better, being both the most inept and sensitive of the three (as sensitive as a vampire can be, of course :p). The new f/x production is really good and very, very funny. I recommend looking up a more recent scene featuring Colin and his emotional vampire girlfriend, (whose name I forgot quickly because she reminds me of a very passive-aggressive, emotional vampire I once knew IRL lol), having to stand trial before the Energy Vampires council. Colin is an engergy drainer, rather than a blood drainer, and he's got the role absolutely nailed. The master/familiar relationship is explored more between Gilluermo and Nandor the Relentless (or Nando 'de laurentis, if you're an inattentive local new reporter). I think they have managed a rare consistency in the show that, compared to other series, has mainted the kind of consistency in characters and plot lines that doesn't happen all that frequently. In the show, they've relocated to Staten Island, NY (lol!). How they've managed to keep it from getting stale is beyond me, but "Well Done" to them, I say. :)
we have a tv series here called Wellington Paranormal based around the cops who show up lol. its a great watch in the cops style, like police ten 7 with sweetness and kiwiness and paranormal shizz
What a strange video, only 5 minutes long. Hey, on an unrelated note, the What We Do In The Shadows show is pretty funny and in my opinion funnier than a movie with a similar premise might have been.
Your beard is awesome I wish i could grow a big one like that Btw, I have a vampire movie recommendation "let the right one in" the original one. It's my favorite vampire movie
seen this reaction made me subscribed in a matter of second, your reaction is hilarious, and as the rookie in your group (lmao) can i make a suggestion??? Death Becomes Her (1992) it some dark humor i'm sure you'd enjoy!
First of all, welcome! I remember Death Becomes Her from my childhood lol, I'll add it to my Patreon poll because all i remember is the gratuitous comedic gore lol
Lastly, if you liked the cops, they made their own X-Files like spin off "Wellington Paranormal". It's impossible to find (legally) in the states but you might have a better shot at it. (And Nick's in season 1)
I hope you decide to react to the show. Unexpectedly, it's even better than the movie. As others mentioned, it keeps the concept but has different characters. The OG vampires make appearances from time to time. Many episodes are directed by the creators of the movie, which is awesome because it's not too Americanized. Three of the 5 main characters are from UK, which also helps with the feel of the show.

5 has Nick...
Being Human uk is good, or What we do in the shadows the series, there's also a movie version of that you can check out if you want.

I think I've seen a picture of that show before and got confused lol.
This movie was a treat

And Stu is a boss! (Their actual special effects guy. Also did the Hela killing all the Valkyries and the Shadow World scenes in Taika's Thor movies)

Love the bit at the end 😂 you’re a great reactor
Love this movie! I need to watch the series too. If you like the film, you should watch the series, and Our Flag Means Death

“You like bosghetti?”
That line never gets old lol
I believe at one stage a sequel about the werewolves was under consideration. It would have been called "What we do in the moonlight"
The best movie. "I'M TWILIGHT!"
I think you forgot to include the actual reaction with this one, it was just an intro and an outro 😕
🤔
Yesss!! Pleeease watch the TV show version?! While I love the movie, the series definitely eclipses it in my opinion.
two words. Colin. Robinson.
Petyr is a real one for real
I love this movie so much! The tv is also good but it feels very American sitcom to me instead of documentary :( I’ve got a Werewolves Not as werewolves T shirt!!!
I was so surprised when I saw this, I wasn't expecting it to be this good!
Honestly.... same lol
14:36 always reminds me of the music video for where's your head at with the creepy monkey band
Def gotta watch the series
Ha the Wellington Paranormal cops show up 😂 Was that show a spin-off of this movie?
There's more of those 2????
Yep, they had a spinoff for the cops set in this same world, it was pretty fun
Looks like the show came 4 years later. I didn’t remember seeing them in this movie. That’s awesome
Excellent committment to the bit in the end thwere, and a great, fun reaction overall.
Thats very kind of you to say. Now if you'll excuse me, I am going to eat some Bosgetti
Delightful reaction to a delightful movie. 😁
one of my favourite movies of all time. I crack laughing EVERYTIME
R.i.p my sweet Peter

Sooo many people in the comments have been suggesting this.
I think when Brooklyn 99 is finished, i will start What We Do In The Shadows,
@@AdamfromFWCI Great to hear they're on your radar. Looking forward to watching WWDITS "for the first time" with you.
If you like Jackie's arc in the movie you *really* ought to look at the TV show:)
What do you mean what just happened all that I saw was u getting confused about sitting in a chair for a minute. What happened
Yes, watch twilight XD but do it with the mindset that its a campy comedy
I assumed it was ;)
