‘What We Do in the Shadows, out this week, is what would be classed as a mockumentary. The movie is a collection of oddball personalities and laugh-out-loud humour; two staples of the mockumentary itself. The subgenre has been a strong and beloved tradition in cinema for many years, typically bringing fringe subjects – who don’t exist most of the time – under the close scrutiny of the camera in numerous and hilarious ways. But why is the mock-documentary such a potent force for making us laugh?’
