Comedy. Horror Sasha (Sara Montpetit) is a teenage vampire with an empathy problem. Unlike the rest of her clan, Sasha’s fangs don’t come out when she’s hungry or sensing fear; she needs to feel a personal connection to her prey. And then Sasha meets Paul (Félix-Antoine Bénard), an actual teenager convinced he’ll never enjoy anything in life. She befriends him, introduces him to her world and its secrets.

	Media	Author	Review
		Katie Rife IndieWire	"This droll relationship study by Ariane Louis-Seize is especially a triumph of casting (...) It is a charming one"
		Nikki Baughan Screendaily	"It is narratively and stylistically striking enough to make its own impact"
		Emily Gagne Dread Central	"Fueled by a charmingly deadpan performance by Sara Montpetit, this French language feature is a witty mix of existentialism and exploitation, going for jugular while also capturing your heart (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jessica Kiang Variety	"A stylish if schematic riff on the angsty-vampire subgenre that, like its heroine, hardly ever shows its fangs"
		Marya E. Gates rogerebert.com	"'What We Do In The Shadows' for people who grew up loving the soft goth girl vibes of Emily The Strange and Lydia Deetz"
		Kristy Puchko Mashable	"[A] daring and daffy horror-comedy"
		Shelagh Rowan-Legg Screen Anarchy	"[It] gives a nice twist on a familiar trope, a sweetly wistful coming of age story, that asks what it means to be a part of the world that rejects you, and finding the good you can put into it (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Jared Mobarak The Film Stage	"[It] adheres to its idiosyncratic tone of purposeful excitement for a future that's hardly assured. Because death can be a beginning too"
		Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"A new vampire horror comedy with bite – and wit (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
