Plots(1)
A seemingly wholesome family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves but behind closed doors, patriarch Frank rules the family with a rigorous fervour. When a torrential rainstorm moves in, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris and Rose are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. Once the local authorities begin to uncover clues, they are brought closer to the secret that the Parkers have held close for so many years. (Entertainment One)

After Stake Land, I had Jim Mickle as one of the greatest hopes in American indie horror, but he disappointed me quite a lot with this bland cannibal drama. Sure, it’s better than the Mexican original, but not being utter shit would have been enough for that, the bar was very low. Mickle has a grip on the craftsmanship, that’s been proven; We Are What We Are is disappointing elsewhere, its world and, in particular, the characters, who don’t feel alive, they failed to generate in me even a trace of interest, which is surprising given that Stake Land (which is equally slow) did get me interested in the characters.
