Horror comedy, one of the most useless genres of all. To be a fan here is tantamount to an oath of disclosure in terms of taste in film. Yes, I know, Evil Dead 2, Tucker And Dale, Shaun Of The Dead, Zombieland. Exceptions prove the rule. This film is comparable to the last two mentioned, especially, no, exclusively in terms of the quality of the masks and effects. These are a good reason for a viewing, but also the only one. The rest is best described in one word: stupid. At times even unbearable, I recommend switching off the sound and then perhaps watching it 'on the side'. To emphasise once again, the visuals are excellent, so it's all the more regrettable that they opted for such unfunny slapstick in terms of content.

Visual gold, content crap
Non-Cannibal Zombies? Hey, It Works.
In a world where the dead have returned as zombies...that aren't out to eat your brains.
They just become a burden on their family's, and, well...society at large.
Which has opened the door for the multinational Coleman corporation, to step in, and offer the "living impaired" an afterlife with dignity.
At least that's their marketing pitch.
The reality, however, isn't so peachy.
So, when a rag tag group of down and out modern day body snatchers start to steal from them.
They just might be the ones to, unexpectedly, expose them as the, not-so-benevolent, profiteers they really are.
With hilarious consequences.
Sure, it's low budget...cheesy...sex-fueled comedy.
But you can't deny it's entertaining.
With some great creature makeup and special effects that give Nicotero and Savini a run for their money!
It's low budget, low brow, comedy horror at it's finest.
And comes as a fresh break from the, mostly, trash horror that 2023 had to offer.
Don't let the haters sway you.
Definitely give this film a shot.
You won't be disappointed you did.
I assure you.
7 out of 10.
A Fresh Bite on the Zombie Genre
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.
