We Are Zombies

hf

We Are Zombies- I was excited for the movie as I really enjoyed the previous two RKSS movies, Turbo Kid and Summer of 84, but this movie doesn't stick the landing. Jean-Philippe Bernier is responsible for the only good parts of the movie, the soundtrack and the cinematography. The movie has a great premise that could have been used to comment on our current society but doesn't go anywhere. All of the characters are terrible. There is a really dumb guy, a short guy who is technically a necrophiliac, and a girl who doesn't really do anything. For a movie to be okay, you need a somewhat engaging plot and this movie fails to engage. 3/10.

Zombie-Movies are one of the most overdone sub-genres from horror and it's rather rare to find a gem under all these movies. However "We Are Zombies" was a decent approach and was definitely fun to watch. It's a Horror-Comedy in the style of f.e. Shaun of the Dead and many others. For me personally the humor worked rather rarely but the movie was able to get a few smiles on my face. The characters are likeable idiots in a broken world and the actors did a rather solid job. The makeup department however did an amazing job with the effects. The Zombies and the gore looked phenomenal and since that is a crucial part of a Zombie-Movie, it was important that they would deliver. And boy did they deliver. Towards the end when the movie gets a little bit more intense, carnage ensues and this is where I actually enjoyed the movie the most. There is one zombie that looks absolutely unique and amazing which definitely adds to the movie being more memorable. While it is definitely far from perfect, I think that it's a solid watch and I enjoyed the short runtime. [6,5/10]

Looked like my kind of film. But... Unlikable characters due to a weakly written script. Tries to be funny more than charismatic but most of the jokes don't land so ends up being neither. Seems like a lot of the acting choices are more to do with direction than each actor's ability so will give the cast the benefit of the doubt. If the humour was sharper the over-acting would probably land. Gains points for a nice synth score and occasional funny splatter gore. Moves along at the right pace and escalates a good amount in the final act. I like what it's going for. It might not be for me but I believe there's an audience for every film.
