In Berlin, a cop closes in on an all-female vampire trio who just took in a new member, Lena.
With the cinematic release of the final movie in the Twilight saga, fast approaching I would like to take the time to congratulate Stephanie Myers and all the filmmakers involved with the making of the Twilight movies for ruining the vampire movie genre in such a financially successful way. These filmmakers have managed to change the vampire movie genre in such a way that somebody who shall remain nameless at first glance immediately assumed that We are the night is one of the Twilight movies.
Because of their popularity vampire movies will always run the risk of overusing the cinematic and literary clichés that Stephanie Myers has become a recent member of. So if you are after vampires that are in touch with their feelings and can pass for a mirror ball during the middle of the day you will find yourself being disappointed. Instead you will get vampires that chase their desires in what could be described as an industrial-chic world.
It should be noted that director Dennis Gansel managed to skirt the line of not taking his movie past the point of indulging in gratuitous sex and violence.
