My expectations were high. I mean, this is from the people behind the fabulous Turbo Kid (which I recommend highly). So, ah, what the hell happened?

As other reviewers have stated, it LOOKS great. The review suggesting you view it with the sound off makes a worthwhile point (although why you'd do that when great movies with great characters could be watched with the sound on, instead, I don't know). The problem is the main characters, in particular the two guys. What's presumably supposed to be "funny" dialogue is relentless, annoying-AF bickering and stupidity. One stupid decision (that NOBODY would make, EVER) after another. It's excruciating. Why it's called 'We Are Zombies' is also baffling. At no point does the film even deliver on the title.

Is it one for "zombie completists"? Hmm, well, sure, why not. If you brace for the punchable male leads' dialogue and the illogical decisions and actions, I guess it's "okay". As I said, my expectations were high. Set them low.

Better still, track down Turbo Kid instead.

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.

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.
