I had so much fun watching this exercise in gory genre silliness I almost don't know where to begin.

Rated: 3/4

We 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.

Rated: 1.5/4

New York Times

A love triangle with fangs but no bite, the German import "We Are the Night" is mostly infatuated with its own stylish excesses.

Rated: 2/5

We Are the Night never quite hits the right spot. It has plenty of clever moments but it neither provides the requisite entertainment or emotional heft.

Rated: 2/5

What Culture

It's stylishly constructed and a better feminist vampire yarn than Twilight, but still problematic in itself.

Rated: 2.5/5

A slick, stylish (sometimes silly) vampire import. (Avoid the English dub version!)

Rated: 3/5

Solider deutscher Genrefilm, der sich überraschend frisch anfühlt, wenn man bedenkt, dass "Wir sind die Nacht" auch schon wieder 12 Jahre alt ist. Und dann fällt einem beim Schauen ein, dass "True Blood" die ganze Vampir-Thematik Jahre vorher deutlich blutiger und erotischer umgesetzt hat. Dieser Film bleibt halt leider ein deutsches Studioprodukt, das nichtsdestotrotz ziemlich unterhaltsam ist.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Horribly dubbed version of a German vampire movie. Only women are turned into vampires because men are "too stupid and greedy" to handle immortality. This band of lady vamps begin killing indiscriminately and bribing security to let them into malls so the can steal whatever they want - so in other words, they become too stupid and greedy to survive eternally.Merely average effects. The dubbed voices were awful. Not a pleasant experience.

Though seems like another clichéd Vampire film, "We Are The Night" kicks in with interesting perspective about feminism, stylish directing, and with energetic approach.

An unexpected surprise. I went into this film hoping to slum into the escapism and instead discovered an unlike gem in the vampire cannon. Slick without being exploitative and introduces some new food for thought in the discourse of vampire morality.
