Critiques:
“We Are Zombies is an uneven zom-com till the third act’s elegant gala backdrop turns into a dwelling impaired feeding floor. You’ll have tons of enjoyable with the gore as soon as round saws spring geysers of bloody juices and can chortle heartily all through. There’s simply much less to get enthusiastic about in sure scenes, like behind closed Coleman doorways.” 7 out of 10, /Movie

“We Are Zombies is a pleasant, if slight, entry into the zombie sub-genre. It by no means goes past its surface-level observations, nevertheless it additionally doesn’t have such lofty ambitions, so it’s arduous to carry that towards it. Plus, it’s so goddamn charming you’re going to have a tough time not having an entire and utter blast with it.” ★★★½ Bloody Disgusting

“You hardly study something concerning the characters. There most likely wasn’t sufficient time for that, and perhaps there wasn’t even sufficient cash to make all the things somewhat greater. Nevertheless it’s sufficient for an gratifying horror comedy with likeable chaotic characters and a few humorous concepts […] We Are Zombies is  a welcome and profitable comeback from the directing collective…” 7 out of 10 Movie Rezensionen [translated from German]

“The story sort of loses sight of itself because it enters the second act […] By the top of the movie you’ve forgotten fully that the granny is even a personality. The movie is plenty of enjoyable and is properly paced, so that you don’t thoughts as a lot, however should you’re coming right here to see a coherent story, you’re going to be disillusioned.” ★★★½ The Fright Membership

“One other enjoyable entry into the rising RKSS catalogue, We’re Zombies additionally has plenty of attention-grabbing improvements for the zombie comedy style. Sickening gore is married with candy relationships and hearty humour to create a zombie movie that greater than lives as much as the RKSS model.” ★★★★ The Hollywood Information

“With We’re Zombies, the Turbo Child makers RKSS show that recent concepts can nonetheless be present in drained genres. Sadly, the trio doesn’t get a lot out of its attention-grabbing premise and focuses extra on repetitive spoof humour than on creating any identification of their very own.” 4 out of 10, Film Break [translated from German]

“These zombies abide by the Return of the Dwelling Useless guidelines, the place they’ve the power to talk, and decapitation isn’t sufficient to kill them (once more). A showdown within the remaining act packs in plenty of motion and plenty of jokes, so many who the viewers has little or no time to react and chortle in between. Nevertheless, gorehounds and wrestling followers alike will likely be hooting and hollering with every successive kill.” 90% Nightmare on Movie Road
