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

Forget Twilight, this's how a vampire movie should be made. Karoline Herfurth stars as a newly turned vampire who learns to fit in with the help of her maker (Nina Hoss) and her friends. The four experience and discuss the ups and downs of being immortal. The perks are limitless partying and special abilities while the price is your humanity and bloodlust. As that's not complicated enough, she falls in love with a police man (Max Riemelt) who tried to arrest her earlier. This's an interesting film. The actors do a good job with their roles (particularly Herfurth), and the cinematography's pretty good. I also thought the music was good too. If you like vampires than this's straight up your alley. Really something to sink your teeth in.

Wir sind die Nacht - We are the Night – CATCH IT (B+) A German movie deals with deals with a young woman who gets bitten by a female vampire and drawn into her world. She falls in love with a young police officer who investigates a murder case involving the vampires. Wir sind die Nacht took its inspiration from Carmilla rather than Dacula which was a wise decision and it made the movie really interesting and enjoyable. Wir sind die Nacht has a top notch production value and performance by all the leading actresses. Initially it looked like Karoline Herfurth playing Lena took her inspiration from Lisbeth Slander but once she is bitten and becomes Vampire she transforms into this gorgeous young girl. The transition is so drastic that a person like me who have not seen her previously in any movie was completely stunned. Nino Hoss is powerful as the vampire leader and I saw her recently in "The Woman in Berlin" so it was shocking to see her in such urban movie. Jennifer Ulrich is gorgeous; she literally looked like someone stole her from 1920s. Anna Fischer as vamp party girl brought her spunk to her spunky character. Max Riemelt is the hottest German actor alive, darn he sizzles on screen. His chemistry with Karoline Herfurth made the small love story really interesting. We are the Night is one of the best Vampire movie I have seen in recent years, its urban, chic and filled with strong performances. I would love to see a sequel for sure as the ending was ambiguous.

Female vampires are all that is left. Men typically screwed up and were eliminated. Naturally, when one wants a true love, she is going to be searching for the right female to join her for eternity. This is really a slick production with good camera work, great music, and lots of action - lots of blood, too. Karoline Herfurth gives a great performance as Lena, the pickpocket that is transformed. She has a hard time warming up to Louise (Nina Hoss), and keeps a tie to a cop (Max Riemelt) she met when she was a pickpocket. Twilight fans may find this story compelling, and would certainly like the ending, but it's for adults.

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.

Vampire films are ten a penny these days. But it's not all the same old crap over and over again. With vampire films, I think you just need to find the right balance between emotional moments that humanise these monsters, and those awesome cool moments. We Are The Night does pretty well in both departments, even if it is in favour of action. The first scene had me absolutely hooked. The camera pans around an airplane where all the passengers and crew have been killed. Still alive are three attractive women that soon reveal themselves to be vampires. After a bit of fun, they open the airplane door and dive out mid-air. From there we are introduced to Lena, a young criminal that soon finds herself involved with the vampires. Unfortunately for them, just before Lena is turned, she catches the eye of a young policeman that's interested in her. Like all vampire films, it starts by showing the luxurious excess. Clubbing, drinking, sex etc. But at the same time the film uses the character of Charlotte as an antidote to all this. She obviously suffers from depression. As the gang go out shopping, she stares longingly at some baby shoes. She also stands in the sunlight causing herself great pain. This character encompasses the strongest emotions, and counteracts the action nicely. We also have Louise. A lesbian vampire that is in love with Lena and feels jealous about Lena's crush on the young cop Tom. It shows that no longer how long you live for, certain human emotions are unavoidable. Towards the end it goes for all out action. With SWAT teams, prison breaks, and a beautifully shot fight that has the vampires moving all over the walls. The music was also enjoyable, but the amount of nightclub scenes did get tiring. Just one less could have made an improvement. We Are The Night is a string Vampire film, with stunning locals and excellent pacing. It was great seeing these girls have fun in a woman only vampire world. Another great example of Gansel's talent.

Well how should I start?. Here I have the possibility to writhe I the very first review, which makes it maybe into the cinemas of a country besides Germany. So I will use it. I saw this one last week. Here you have Lena, a poor young woman from a broken home, who tries to keep here head above water as a cut-purse. You also have Louise, the head of 3 attractive female vampires, Charlotte, a former silent movie star and Nora, a young, lively and hip raver girl. They led a luxury live: with sports cars, shopping trips to Paris, sex and last but not least killing people and drinking there blood. Louise falls in love with Lena, she wants here and makes a vampire out of here. The next morning, Lena wakes up as vampire, but the painful metamorphose is not over yet. However direct sunlight would burn here and she has no mirror image. The next night she goes out, to find the thing who did this to here. She meets the 3 ladies. She realises that she has to stay with them and she is also now a being of the night. Lena falls into this luxury lifestyle, but can not kill people and drink there blood. This occurs to conflicts with Louise. Also Lena falls in love with a young police man. Another conflict with Louise, who is in love with here. Charlotte misses here former live and here husband and child and Nora just wants to have fun. All in all it is an O.K. movie, I give a 6/10). Lets start with the good things. This no boring movie and you wonder how fast 100 minutes are gone. It is fast, action lasting one, with a great camera image and soundtrack. It deals with: is it possible to find a love for eternity, is an eternal live worthwhile or boring and is morally good kill people and drink there blood (or better to consume there blood). What I like was that these vamp(ire)s, are evil they do drink human blood and live fast life. (Not like Edward Cullen.) The weakest point is it has thin plot, but it is O.K however. I deals with a lot of things, but only on the surface. The character development of its figures does not go fare enough. So do the conflicts which occur. Maybe I just want to much: a fast action lasting movie with a great story, deep characters and good intra/inter personal conflicts. Like Avatar!!?- but this is no vampire film Anyway now I am into vampire movies. So I will watch, Dracula, Blade, Nosferatu and more.

Wir sind die Nacht (We Are the Night) is simply fantastic. It's scary, suspenseful, and funny in it's own way (sexy, lesbian vampires driving Lamborghinis and shopping after hours, for example), and the most original addition to the vampire genre since Let The Right One In. Controversial in many ways, this is the real deal. The story centers around a coven of four female vampires as their bond unravel when one of them establishes a relationship with a police officer. The film introduces some concepts that I've never seen in a vampire film, such as when one of the young looking vampires visits her elderly, dying daughter, or when another gets shot and then pops the bullet out of her chest. The musical score is exciting as well. I really enjoyed We Are the Night. Don't be fooled by the hokey DVD cover. This is a truly well made, bad ass flick.

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.

I admit I expected to watch another archetypal vampire movie, perhaps not a vampire-oriented romance (Twilight franchise). And the result was quite charming: spectacular scenes, a decent cast of main characters, a dark and seducing Berlin. The cliché ending of the movie was saved by a smart scene, with the cop saying farewell to his comrade. The soundtrack kept track of the plot and its a nice collection of classical tunes and electro-pop and techno tracks of the contemporary European scene. Taking into account these elements, I can say that yes, it was a satisfying one hour and a half that I regretted not watching in a cinema (I preferred the Bluray home edition). But then I became concerned about why a promising and talented director like Dennis Gansel (Die Welle) would write and direct a typical Hollywood-style action-horror movie. Then it came to me. Most probably, Dennis Gansel wanted to make a social allegory disguised with the charming cape of vampires. The outcast girl Lena (Karoline Herfurth) is forced into a previous unknown world of luxury, recklessness and excess by a covenant of three female vampires. Louise (Nina Hoss) sees in her the unfulfilled love of ages. But in the end, they just try to escape boredom with their new toy (Lena). Lena is seduced by the new horizon opened before her own eyes, till she realizes that its all in vain, after refusing the beautiful young cop (Tom) to see the beast that she became. The All-powerful and Immortal Vampires are an image of the high-society people, living in a luxurious fenced environment, recruiting unsuspected outsiders into their world, just as they were in the past. I refuse to believe that such a talented director wouldn't have this in his mind while writing and directing this movie. But here is the major flaw of this movie for me: if this was the scope of the movie, he fails to convey this message to the viewers. If not, well then he just made another Blade-like movie.

Germans tried to create their own Vampire franchise with "We are the Night" with mixed results. Compared with any of the TWILIGHT movies; this looks like a masterpiece; but with really great movies like NOSFERATU (in any of its version) this is just a clichéd movie with a few original ideas. The most interesting things are dialogs which based on my very limited German and subtitles seemed really smart. Another is that even when vampires are only women and there is a lot of lesbian innuendo; the movie is far from exploitative. There is no feminine nudity, no sexual scenes and a very PC moral message (here, nobody is happy to be a vampire). Even violence in the movie is more suggested than shown (there are a few brief strong scenes ; but mostly for the surprise effect ) . Lena, a minor delinquent is converted by Lena; an old bored vampire looking for her great love. Louise has two other vampires girlfriends; all living like "Sex and the City" in Berlin. An excess of glamour and luxury just to cover their empty lives. Lena is not very happy with her unwanted changes; particularly because she has a certain interest in a policeman; something forbidden by Louise for two reasons; he does not want men and even less policemen. There is not much more happening. The first act is strong but after Lena conversion, the second act looks extracted from "SEX AND THE CITY". The drama could have been really interesting if we knew something about each woman; but aside from a few dialogs and little back story about one of them; the others are pretty much a mysteries nobody cares to solve. The third act is more action driven and it is very effective with just the necessary amount of special effects in order to get things realistic. In brief; it is not a bad movie; but considering it comes for the country that re-invented cinema and the vampire genre; it is below expectations.
