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

I didn't know this was a German movie, but it became painfully obvious when I heard the English dubbing. I was a bit put off by this and the expectations went really low; perhaps that is why I enjoyed the movie more than I thought I would.There are a lot of clichés about vampires they used in the film, like the crazy nightlife, the club music soundtrack, the moody "Oh I lived too long" looks and desperate attempts to enjoy a life of death, the good vampire, the corrupter, etc. However all of these worked really well. The vampires were all girls, good looking ones at that, and they were as ruthless as they were good looking.The script was basically the one from Interview with a Vampire, only with chicks, and it did its job. The music was, I think, very well chosen, making the difference between liking and not liking the film. The acting was mediocre, but not annoying.After so many attempts to reinvent the genre, this film was actually vampire classic and I appreciated that. I have seen so many pretentious Hollywood films that were a lot worse than We Are the Night. Not a masterpiece, but if you like vamp flicks, this one is one of the good ones.

In We Are The Night, a girl, Lena, living on the street and stealing catches the eye of a vampire queen, Louise. Louise is always looking for her soulmate and thinks she can identify her by looking at her eyes. Her previous conquests were Nora a fun young girl and Charlotte a classy girl.Also catching the eye of Lena is a cop looking to arrest her. But Lena outsmarted him and he fell for her. One night Lena is turned into a vampire by Louise and joins the group. The girls, immortal and rich, just live a life of fun, pleasure, and games. They race exotic cars in the city at night, go shopping in a mall all for themselves, dance in their club. Despite this life of opulence, Lena isn't all that thrilled about consuming blood and killing people. She does enjoy the powers of a vampire- super strength and the ability to defy gravity. But the cop doesn't give up and tries somewhat successfully to seduce her.This will lead to the cops getting on the trail of the vampire clan, which was responsible for massacring some mobsters.We Are The Night is a great title for a vampire movie, and the movie is also great. Unlike 95% of vampire movies in the last 15 years, it's not offensive to fans of the genre. It's a real cool, very stylish, and erotic vampire movie full of fantastic actions scenes. This day and age it's harder and harder to impress with action scenes but this movie does it. And the vampires, crawling, walking, and fighting on walls and ceilings looks excellent. The cast is outstanding. Nina Hoss' Louise in particular is very interesting, she's mature but attractive and has something animalistic about her. Anna Fischer's Nora is innocent, fun, playful, yet vicious. Jennifer Ulrich's Charlotte is distinguished and classy, she likes to smoke using cigarette holders and read books but is very deadly when necessary. This movie features the nastiest paper cut ever. Direction is first rate and the locations in and around new and old Berlin are quite unique.But unfortunately, We Are The Night has to take the moralistic turn 3/4 of the way into it. That's when the "good" guys catch up with the "bad" guys and you know the outcome. The editing cold have been better. The ending still is surprising and interesting but vampires have always been the more interesting and sympathetic characters than the regular and boring humans. This movie should turn into a franchise, not sure how, but fans of vampire movies deserve a We Are The Night II.

After seeing the trailer the movie looked promising. However most things which could go wrong went wrong. Worst of all was the really horrible acting. Maybe as German native this even seemed more dramatic. Nina Hoss performance as kind of desperate love seeking lesbian vampire mother was particularly annoying. Although it begun kind of promising (the first 20min are funny) it turned into a really cheesy and cliché teen vampire move after a while and in my opinion it tried to unify so many vampire movie clichés that it became absurd (vampire falls in love with human, the struggle, and so on) Obvisouly it way better than any Twilight movie, but miles from Let the right one in, Bram Stokers or interview with a vampire. The only thing i enjoyed about this movie was the kind of dark industrial Berlin scenery.
