One vampire-themed flick we’ve been looking forward to for quite some time now is Dennis Gansel’s We Are the Night, which is being heralded as “a sexy and suspenseful thriller about a young woman initiated into a trio of beautiful female vampires.” Thanks to our good friends at IFC we’ll be getting to see just how sexy and suspenseful things really get!

We Are the Night will be released theatrically in New York City on May 27th at the prestigious ReRun arthouse theater. The flick will also be available nationwide on video-on-demand beginning May 25th.

From the Press Release
We Are the Night is an edgy tale of a provocative gang of female vampires living large, making their own rules and leaving a merciless trail of blood. The film centers on a 20-year-old Berlin native LENA (Karoline Herfurth) who gets by as a petty thief. On one of her nightly job runs through an underground club, she meets 250-year-old LOUISE (Nina Hoss). Don’t let her age fool you. LOUISE is a glamorous vixen, who is not only the owner of the club, but also the leader of an unusual all-female vampire trio – the other two members being wild child NORA (Anna Fischer) and elegant CHARLOTTE (Jennifer Ulrich). Louise falls head over heels in love with the scruffy Lena and bites her during their first night together. Once bitten, LENA discovers the curse and the blessing of her new, eternal life. She revels in the glamour, parties and infinite freedom. But she quickly discovers that the endless blood thirst and murderous appetite of her new girlfriends come at a steep price. When Berlin police commissioner TOM SERNER (Max Riemelt) begins investigating the women, it is just a matter of time before their day comes and events spiral out of control.
