Slant MagazineChuck BowenMay 9, 2016
When Bo Mikkelsen springs his traditional yet cathartic climax, it's earned because the violence matters truly as violation. Read full review

Fans of blood and guts won’t find what they’re looking for here (until the final 10 minutes, that is); but serious-minded genre fans should feel satisfied. Read full review

What We Become is a very pretty movie with a very dark heart. The payoff is brutal, but earned. Read full review

There are large chunks of What We Become that feel like something we’ve seen before, a repeat of the AMC series perhaps, and just when it’s getting interesting, it ends, almost like it’s a pilot for a new series. Read full review

The movie never really achieves the claustrophobic, under-siege atmosphere of Night of the Living Dead.

Undead fare has to break new ground to stand out from the ravenous crowd, something What We Become never attempts. What might have been the best zombie movie of 2004 can't help looking a little sickly in 2016. Read full review
