We Are The Night - 2010 - 7/10
AKA - Wir Sind Die Nacht

Vampire tale, set in modern, neo-Weimar Berlin.
Throbbing nightclubs and blood cocktails. Opulent production design worsens with the narrative.
The V word is never mentioned, by the way, and in this world, there are no male vampires.
The leader of the trio recruits a new member, who has trouble transitioning.
Story flows on a rockin’ pace, though characters don’t really “do” much aside from partying.
Boredom, ennui, debauchery punctuated by kills. Sex implied, rather than graphic.
Very well cast - but - the English dub is godawful! Shrill voice actors mar the tone.
So …
If possible, find the FanEdit version by INH5, (We Are The Night: Revamped).
German language (with English dub and editor commentary).
Deleted or unfinished scenes finished, enhanced and reinserted. Also some new special effects.
Disclosure: I was a key previewer for this edit, and often shared my thoughts with the faneditor.
