MovieSonic Loved it! Watch the original though (don't be afraid of subtitles, you'll get used to them!)This was a fantastic bit of escapism. I thought the production value was on par with Iron Sky (2012) and there were some unique and memorable scenes like in the bathroom and then in the bath. There were beautiful sequences like the opening, the car chase and the fight scenes.I was expecting something like Vamps (2012) with Alicia Silverstone which I really enjoyed, but this was definitely not played for laughs and was fairly gruesome in some parts.Max Riemelt just became my new favourite male actor! Both he and Karoline Herfurth played their parts brilliantly and they had plenty of chemistry.I would have liked to have seen more backstory for the vampires, perhaps some flashbacks of their former lives but this is a minor criticism.If you're a fan of this genre, it's definitely one to watch! 8/10

WakenPayne Okay I have watched a movie that my brother cited as being one of the best movies of the last five years. I personally think that it did quite a lot of things right - I mean more than Hollywood movies have done in that time but then again there are a few really big gripes I have with this movie.Okay so the story. Lena is a delinquent who due to just being in the wrong place at the wrong time gets bitten by a vampire named Louise. When she finds out naturally she freaks out at what is happening to her and at first she loves the life of a vampire of staying up all night, having a lot of money, fast cars and... Well you get the drill. As time goes on however this lifestyle deteriorates into one that is out of control and does whatever she can to escape it.Okay my big gripe with this movie is that sometimes it just leaves the viewer to tie up stuff on their own. For example - The gift. It is established that vampires have some way of telling whether humans can be turned or not and... That's all there is to know apparently because I do kind of want to know "Okay, How can they tell?".The ending is also really ambiguous. I'll try to reveal as little as possible if anyone still wants to see this movie but the cops are on the tail of Lena and the other cop named Tom and it ends with the cops arriving to the spot where you last saw them... WHERE DID THEY GO! I was invested in what was going on - Does Tom have the gift and Lena turned him so they travel the world and stuff together? It just expects you to fill in these gaps.I guess another big complaint is that it actually has a scene that is kind of sexist towards men. Now I'm not saying "Us poor men" No, We've had it pretty good in terms of portrayal. But it tries to make out that the reason why Male vampires are extinct is that the men are stupid and power hungry and threatened to expose the whole "vampires exist" thing. Yeah because in this movie the vampires do a good job of that by climbing up and around buildings like Spider-Man in plain sight, setting people on fire faking a plane crash where apparently everyone's blood was completely drained and everyone died before the crash even happened. Yeah because that's keeping a secret okay!...Okay my point is that if you want to make a feminist movie - fine! I'll support that decision wholeheartedly but please don't have a scene which is devoted to building all men up as being like that and have the female characters do something similar by the movie's end.Okay my complaints are really big for this movie and after reading all that you'll probably be asking why I gave this an 8. Well As I said I was actually pretty invested with what was going on. I think one of the best scenes in the entire movie is where Charlotte is visiting her daughter in a retirement home. The directing and acting of that scene is handled so beautifully that it is hard not to feel at least something for Charlotte's character after that.I liked how instead of these vampire films that say "being a vampire is awesome" or "It actually sucks" this movie kind of does both by saying okay at first this lifestyle seems like every teenager's ultimate fantasy but over time it changes into basically "It actually sucks". It doesn't just make this transition out of nowhere either which I liked.The acting is marvelous. I will definitely be looking at other things that these actors have done. They pretty much elevate some of this material especially the sketchy parts. I'd say the acting is worth the entire watch of this movie alone.I also like the visual effects. This CG work is done really well especially in the scene where Lena changes appearance from goth girl to average person in the streets. I mean wow is this stuff well done. I guess other effects that I liked was the jumping out of a plane in the opening among others.I'd also say the directing is pretty good. The Cinematography is really good and the writing - while extremely sketchy in some parts it does actually hold up in parts as being dramatic and establishes character and the way vampires live really well too.If you want to watch this movie I'd say go ahead. I mean if you can get past some of the complaints I have (the only one I haven't mentioned being that Nora is annoying but I guess that's a nitpick) then I'd say go watch it. It is a really good movie if you can get past the flaws and it probably is one of the best vampire movies of the past few years. If you like this sort of thing - check it out.

SilthDraeth I am writing this mainly because a couple reviews on here start making the "Twilight" comparison. *below will contain some spoilers* The only thing it has in common with Twilight would be vampires, but so does "Let the Right One In", Nightwatch, Bram Stoker's Dracula, etc, there are tons of movies with vampires in them, lest we make a comparison of them all? This movie definitely has adult themes, you even see a locker room with naked men and their penises, sadly, for a lesbian vampire film, that is the only true nudity.I had no problem following the story of a young girl, living in the drudge of society, not quite sure where she belongs. This is her story more than anything else. The acting by the main actress is superb, as is the trio of vampires. The main male lead pulls off a moonstruck in love young man just fine, wanting to play the hero for his heroin in distress.Superb movie. I rated it a nine. This, like "Let the Right One In" (watch the original, "Let Me In" the American remake is trash compared to the original), is primarily a movie about self discovery that happens to include vampires, than it is a movie about vampires.So give it a go, and stop comparing it to Twilight. I wish I could have wrote this review without having to bring up Twilight just to state how different it is.

Gordon-11 This film is about a young woman who got turned into a vampire after a female vampire bit her in the neck."We are the Night" is such a weird movie. The plot centres on four vampires, who are immortally young and beautiful. Their hedonistic lifestyle is abundantly portrayed in the film, involving much sex, drugs and partying. The lesbian love featured is intense, and provides a constant undercurrent of lustful tension. It is a cult movie that is probably not for everyone. As a brainless pastime, "We are the Night" is passable. Just don't analyse the contents of the film, and accept what you see on the screen.
