Oddly enough then I had actually not heard about this horror comedy titled "We Are Zombies" prior to stumbling upon it by sheer luck here in 2024. And of course I had to watch it, given my fascination with all things zombie.
While I am not familiar with the graphic novel from Jerry Frissen, then I will say that writers François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell put together a rather enjoyable and entertaining script. It was a nice blend of horror and comedy, and when you throw zombies into the equation things tend to get spruced up. And so it was in "We Are Zombies". I like the non-cannibalistic zombie approach that there was in the movie, because it was a nice change of pace to the zombie genre.
Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns and Megan Peta Hill were nicely cast for the leading parts. I wasn't familiar with them, but they definitely carried the movie quite nicely. I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is something I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. The actors and actresses on the cast list were great and put on good performances.
Visually then I was rather surprised with the movie. I wasn't expecting the special effects and zombie make-up to be that good. That was certainly a nice surprise, and one that added a rather enjoyable layer to the movie.
If you enjoy horror comedies with zombies, then directors François Simard, Anouk Whissell and Yoann-Karl Whissell's 2023 movie "We Are Zombies" is well-worth spending 80 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the movie, and it is a movie that I warmly recommend you to watch. This was a much needed addition to the zombie horror comedy genre, because it was done so right and with the heart in the right place.
My rating of "We Are Zombies" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
