Review of We Are the Night (2010) by J.j. W — 24 Dec 2011

The first 45 minutes are incredibly boring; especially to those who do not appreciate the "euro-trash delinquent" club scene. However, as a vampire movie the film quickly gets pretty intelligent about it's subject material.

There's too many vampire movie that tries too hard to be deep or is too content to do anything new. "We Are the Night" is bold enough to take the escapist vampire wish fulfillment attitude and turn it on its head at times.

While the ending is a bit predictable, you have to give "We Are the Night" credit for being more than wish fulfillment as a wish fulfillment movie. However, there are times when the film does get a little too self-indulgent with it's feminine exploitation.
