Leave your thoughts about We Are the Night.
| VarietyRonnie Scheib"Night" trades politics for acrobatics, the film's kinetically edited action sequences filling the void left by sketchy character development. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfConsumed with arranging a pretty picture than securing a ripe female-slanted take on seductive acts of evil and decadence. It's a fireworks display, not a meaty reinvention of a rusty genre. |
| Dread CentralHeather WixsonIt's ambitious, energetic and downright fun. Director Gansel and his female-led cast manage to breathe refreshing new life into what some feel is an overdone subgenre in horror these days |
| MovieFreak.comSara Michelle FettersI had so much fun watching this exercise in gory genre silliness I almost don't know where to begin. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonThis feels like a Luc Besson genre knock-off in the best sense of that phrase -- a spunky, stylish mash-up of vampire flick and police procedural, with just a dash of doomed romance. Demerits for the dubbing, though. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisA love triangle with fangs but no bite, the German import We Are the Night is mostly infatuated with its own stylish excesses. |
| Film Journal InternationalMaitland McDonagh...No genre-changer...but it's bloody, occasionally clever and wears its underlying message about the perils of power lightly... |
| FEARnetScott WeinbergA slick, stylish (sometimes silly) vampire import. (Avoid the English dub version!) |
| Projected FiguresAnton Bitelan odd - and therefore interesting - blend of genetic elitism, feminist emancipation and rave-culture hedonism, where oldworld bloodlines leave a trail imprinted in the postmodern age - all wrapped in a slickly stylish audiovisual package. |
| Slant MagazineJesse CataldoWe Are the Night's primary interest seems to be wish fulfillment, but it's hard to tell at times exactly whose fantasies these are supposed to be. |
