A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but with a terrible challenge - how to survive. For they are cannibals. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies... and the victims have always been provided by the father. Now that he is gone, who will hunt? Who will lead them? How will they slake their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenage misfit who seems far from ready to accept the challenge... But without human meat the family will die. Shocking, bloody and deeply moving, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE is a remarkable reinvention of the horror genre - a visceral and powerfully emotional portrait of a family bound by a terrible secret hunger and driven by monstrous appetites.

Whaaat?! It’s been long since a horror film made me feel so afraid (that it would never end). At the beginning I was simply bored, but somewhere around the middle this Mexican crap began to actively annoy me to such an extent that I even browsed internet for a while, which I otherwise categorically condemn. By the end it builds a bit of a decent atmosphere, but it’s already too late. Considering the fairly decent technical qualities, it’s hard to believe how incompetent and stupid some of the scenes are. It doesn’t work at all, and I also wasn’t able to figure out how it wanted to work (and for what I see, I’m not the only one). An interesting utter fail.
