AUDIENCE SCORE
User Ratings: 3,423
Rating: 4/5 -- Unfolding in an impoverished neighborhood in Mexico City, this disturbing debut paints social decay with bold, elegant strokes and dizzying camera angles.
New York Times
Feb 18, 2011
Mr. Mickle transforms a politically charged allegory of social decay into a dreamy commentary on the ravages of extreme religious observance.
New York Times
Sep 27, 2013
Rating: 3.5/5 -- An unexpectedly rich exploration of family bonds, blood rituals and the oftentimes zombie-like desire to assume the roles proscribed to each of us, played out with a sharp undertow of political allegory and darkly comic sensibility. Full Review
Los Angeles Times
Feb 24, 2011
Deftly balancing a horror premise with the politics of a family drama, We Are What We Are is utterly refreshing. Full Review
Exquisite Terror

Rating: 7.5/10 -- Like zombie auteur George Romero at his best, Grau locks his sights on his social commentary of choice and goes after it with the zeal of a 19-year-old cannibal girl sinking an ax into the skull of her next meal. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- A crunching, visceral transplant for this cannibal tale from its urban Mexican setting to an American milieu.
Empire
Feb 22, 2014
Rating: 2/5 -- What could have been an intelligent rebirth for the cannibal genre... instead seems content simply to gorge, choke, and eventually suffocate on its own dullness and irrelevance. Full Review

Product Description:

Director Jim Mickle (MULBERRY STREET, STAKE LAND) takes the helm for this horror remake centered on a reclusive family with a gruesome secret that's gradually revealed during a torrential downpour. The Parkers have never been much for company. In fact, for as long as they've lived in the Catskills, none of their neighbors have set foot in their home. And that's by design; family patriarch Frank (Bill Sage) is intent on maintaining his ancestral customs, which wouldn't be understood by modern society. Meanwhile, when the storm clouds open up and their small town starts to flood, the local authorities make some disturbing discoveries that seem to confirm everyone's worst suspicions about the mysterious clan.
