Sasha is a young vampire with a very serious problem. She’s too sensitive to kill! Frustrated by their daughter’s empathy for humans, Sasha’s parents decide to cut off her blood supply to force her to learn how to hunt — or starve! Just as she decides to reject her vampire instincts and embrace a final death, she meets a lonely teenager named Paul who is willing to give his life to save hers, on the condition that she help to fulfill his final wishes before day breaks.
“WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS for people who grew up loving the soft goth girl vibes of Emily the Strange and Lydia Deetz.” ––Marya E. Gates, rogerebert.com “A good-natured, dark-tinged, teen-rom-com dressed up in a stylish Halloween costume.” ––Jessica Kiang, Variety “HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON isn’t a wholly new take on the subgenre. But it is a charming one — a rom-com for teenagers (and teenagers at heart) who swoon when cute boys talk about death.” ––Katie Rife, IndieWire “You probably wouldn't expect a movie that begins with clown slaughter to be so sweet. Yet HUMANIST VAMPIRE SEEKING CONSENTING SUICIDAL PERSON neatly knits together its darkest elements with threads of whimsy, humor, and tremulous romance to create a vampire tale that is uniquely thrilling and a bloody good time.” ––Kristy Puchko, Mashable
