A figure holds up a chainsaw above a zombie in We Are Zombies. 

The Big Picture Based on the comics series The Zombies That Ate the World by Jerry Frissen and illustrator Guy Davis, We Are Zombies is a new horror comedy from the team behind cult favorites Turbo Kid and Summer of '84. Similar to the eclectic and evocative spirit of those previous films, François Simard, Anouk Whissell, and Yoann-Karl Whissell's latest nostalgia-heavy genre hybrid is set in a future where humans and the undead cohabitate.

Release Date August 13, 2024 Director Yoann-Karl Whissell , François Simard , Anouk Whissell Cast Alexandre Nachi , Derek Johns , Megan Peta Hill , Clare Coulter , Benz Antoine , Vincent Leclerc , Carlo Mestroni , Guy Nadon Runtime 80 Minutes Main Genre Horror Writers Yoann-Karl Whissell , François Simard , Anouk Whissell Expand What Is 'We Are Zombies' About? We Are Zombies is set in a futuristic American city where everyday people and zombies live in relative peace .

'We Are Zombies' Is Like a More Uneven 'Zombieland' Though there are certainly differences in the narratives, it’s impossible to watch We Are Zombies without thinking of Zombieland. They're very similar in tone and some visual cues, though without any of the careful, energetic, and shrewd world-building that made Ruben Fleischer's 2009 breakout hit, and even its 2019 sequel, such breezy treats right out of the gate.

The Actors Give It Their All in 'We Are Zombies' Beyond the limitations of the narrative and the setting, We Are Zombies is greatly hindered by weak characterization, primarily in the writing. The central trio of actors are giving this their all, but the script never really tells us anything more than Karl is obsessed with sex, Derek is haplessly in love with Maggie, and Maggie swears a lot.
