Not in any major way, but this movie takes place in a different reality than our own that has vampires and zombies and werewolves and all sorts of things like that, and some of them are capable of manipulating human minds, like vampire hypnosis, in ways such as forgetting things happened, believing things that aren't true, working against their own desire/will, etc.
Uhhh....Arguably. One of the vampires has a human slave named Jackie. By the end of the movie, she's become a vampire and enslaved her husband. It's made pretty clear that her heart was evil from the beginning, though.
Not exactly, but the vampires can hypnotize humans to make them not aware of what is going on. Gaslighting is making people doubt their grasp on reality, but there's not really any doubt here, since the humans don't realize that they are being hypnotized.
There are a few scenes where vampires turn into bats and get hurt, including one where a human form vampire throws a bat form vampire against a wall. There's also a scene where a live chicken is put into a bag and is implied to be eaten by a vampire.
Taxidermied animals, a live chicken is given to a vampire (and presumably eaten, though it's not shown), and a dog is wrongly blamed for a murder, reporting that it would be put down as a result.
No dragons appear in this movie, although other creatures from mythology and folklore such as vampires, werewolves and zombies are shown it is unknown if dragons exist in this world.
The vampires play a joke on the humans (a dinner scene) where they tell them their sphagetti has turned into maggotts. It's not sure if it really turns or it is just an illusion, and they don't show closeups. But it sounds gross.
Gratuitous amounts of extraordinarily fake looking blood. It's played for laughs, not trying to be gory. That said, it's still gory enough that if you have a problem with gore, it might be too much.
Most characters are dead already. One main vampire character dies, a human dies and becomes a vampire, a different human dies and comes back as a werewolf.
I believe they use the terminology "eating people" to describe feeding on them. They don't eat their bodies or anything, though, just drink their blood.
The police officers are incompetent, partially because they're hypnotized by the vampires. They do fail to help people and mistakenly blame a dog for a crime in that incompetence.
the movie is in documentary/found footage style so it has the handheld feel, it also features shakiness when the camera operators are running from something (like the werewolf attack in the park)
Sort of. There are comments about the vampires’ flamboyant dress style, including the f-slur at one point. Deacon’s familiar says something about the vampires wearing “blouses” in a disparaging way.
