Featured reviews
This had potential but then went downhill after the midway point. Could have been a sci-fi zombieland but execution was poor.
I liked the younger actor with the hat, the big guy's choices were annoying, the girl actor had one emotional scene which made me laugh (When the press play me) I am not sure it was meant to make me laugh.
Decent idea like the other guy said but it went nowhere.
I like these type of movies normally, I give it a chance anyway, it left me feeling like oh okay, waste of time. I think the direction on this was poor, liked the choice of camera and colour, looked good in that aspect.
Needed a better 2nd and 3rd act, also could have made it feel more spacious. Felt like I was trapped in small locations. More thinking outside the box and chance missed.

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. Recommended for fans of Necrotronic (2018), Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015), and The Night Sitter (2018).

I don't know if they were going for a, so bad it's good, type vibe, but I could definitely see myself under the influence of some bad decisions and laughing my butt off with this movie. I would honestly watch this just to see the drone/nature shots. No joke. That one shot, where the camera is gliding over the water with the morning mist rising up, is phenomenal. If that's total AI or CGI, I'm super impressed. I'm not saying I'm gonna watch the whole movie and I'm not saying I'm not. I'm just saying that I need 87 more characters before I can post this and I am currently under the influence of some very bad decisions.
In a zombie-infested town, where the living dead are a marginalized group of society, three lazy young people -Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns, Megan Peta Hill- who work in the easy-money market must fight small-time crooks and are forced to battle an evil mega-corporation to save their kidnapped grandmother. Throughout the film there is a a large number of zombies appearing here and there, causing a criminal spree. The Road To Survival Could Be A Dead End!.
From the creators of cult classics "Turbo Kid" and the ultraviolent slasher "Wake Up," the RKSS collective directs this super-bloody and hilarious twist on Zombie movies. Here, the undead aren't aggressive; they're an oppressed group. The film is based on the comic book series drawn by Jerry Frissen, a graphic novel titled 'We are Zombies', dealing with a city infested with the living-impaired aka non-cannibal zombies - in which three slackers, after easy money, must fight small-time crooks and an evil mega corporation to save their kidnapped grandma. A creepy and eerie movie with humor, tongue-firmly-in-cheek, including thrills , chills, some very violent scenes, and lots of gore, blood and guts. This movie is strange, it pays tribute to old zombie horror flicks and goes off on its own direction. It gives amusing consideration to the violence created by the living dead, yet with humor, being nicely played by the Canadian trio Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns, Megan Peta Hill.
The motion picture was mediocrely directed by François Simard, Anouk Whissell, Yoann-Karl Whissell (RKSS), getting little success at box office. They direct professionally and adequately all kinds of genres. They're working interchangeably for television or cinema. Their debut feature was ¨Turbo Kid¨, it is a post-apocalyptic film made in 2015, an anti-prophetic story with a lot of gore, which adds an eighties science fiction aesthetic and shows a past that has not come to fruition. And going on: ¨Summer of 84¨ an amusing mess made in Spielberg style, the goal was to pay homage to the movies of the '70s and 80s. And following the slasher ¨Wake up¨(2023), a disturbing survival story full of horrror, chiller and chases. And continuing this ¨We Are Zombies¨ (2023)¨. Rating: 6/10. An average but fun and entertaining movie, that's why it'll appeal to fans of Zombies genre with humor.

If you've ever found yourself laughing through the gore of "Blood Sucking Freaks", dodging the undead with the hilarity of "Cooties", or reveling in the neon-soaked mayhem of "Nekrotronic", then "We Are Zombies" is your next cinematic obsession. This zombie comedy is a grotesque, hilarious, and utterly addictive ride.
"We Are Zombies" is a delightful surprise in a genre often overrun by tired tropes. This 2024 horror-comedy manages to balance gore, humor, and heart with impressive skill.
The film introduces us to a trio of misfits who find themselves in the midst of a zombie outbreak. What follows is a riotous blend of slapstick, character-driven moments, and surprisingly effective scares. The filmmakers have a clear love for the genre, evident in the countless nods to classic zombie films, but they also bring a fresh perspective to the well-worn formula.
The cast delivers standout performances, with a perfect blend of comedic timing and dramatic intensity. The characters are endearingly flawed and their camaraderie is the backbone of the film. The practical effects are gory and gruesome in all the right ways, satisfying the cravings of horror fans without overshadowing the story.
While "We Are Zombies" might not reinvent the wheel, it's a damn good ride. It's a film that knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers on all fronts.
