What We Do In the Shadows is already the best horror film I’ve seen in 2015, and will guaranteed be on my best of the year list come December, but it’s hard to get behind this truly bizarre Kickstarter campaign.
I’m not exactly sure I understand what’s going on, but they’re seeking a whopping $400,000 to self-distribute the film across the country.
The weird part is that (as of this writing) no contributor can see the movie until they donate at least $125 – and with that they receive a signed DVD come June (even though the movie will be out this coming February. What does this mean? Well, if you want to see it in a theater in Ohio, you need to contribute money – and for doing so they’ll send you a pdf of their script. Then, when the movie opens in Ohio, you have to purchase your own stinking ticket.
What We Do In the Shadows (read our review) is a spectacularly funny movie – but how far are you willing to go to see it?
