Verdict on We Are Zombies
We Are Zombies is a horror comedy following three slackers who live in a world with the living impaired. The two sides live in peace, but an evil corporation has their own plan for the living impaired and only the three can stop them.
Zombie comedies have become one of the most common practices in film recently. This one is a welcome addition, as very few have ever looked to make them calm and part of society. It uses this unique take to embrace something different while bringing us a wacky adventure for the characters. The chemistry between Alexandre Nachi, Derek Johns and Megan Peta Hill is excellent and brings a charm to everything unfolding.
