The thrill has been gone for centuries between Count Geza and Countess Elsa. Burdened with eternal life, the vampire couple seeks the help of a noteworthy psychoanalyst of the moment named Sigmund Freud. Hearing that the Countess incessantly complains about not being able to look at herself in a mirror, Freud introduces them to a young painter, Viktor, who paints portraits that express more than a mirror ever could. The Count, however, takes an instant shine to Viktor's girlfriend Lucy. Director David Ruhm puts some pep in the step of the vampire genre in this hilarious blood-sucking comedy.

I consider the New Zealand movie What We Do In the Shadows an exemplary vampire comedy movie. This film is also quite humorous, but at the same time I had a huge issue with it due to its inaccessibility to the viewer. Not just when it comes to the characters, but also humor. And when I felt I was beginning to like this film, it managed to knock me down me with a terribly strangely, even grotesquely filmed scenes in which vampires kill or just levitate. In the end, I didn’t even have time to decide whether I liked it or not, because once I started to think about it, the film was over, and I was watching the end credits. So obviously, three stars…
