We Are What We Are

Another 2013 Drama/Horror/Thriller, also with fantastic potential because of the thought-provoking storyline, but this one much better acting, much better research and wonderful transitions throughout. It doesn’t make the list of my favourite films of all time, but it held the viewers attention from beginning till end. 

Original screenplay written by Mexican Jorge Michel Grau whom made the first and Mexican version in 2010 had his story/film was adapted into an American script by American Nick Damici and it was directed wonderfully by American Jim Mickle.

New and fast on the film scene Julia Garner (although she was not the main character) really did steal the show, and Ambyr Childers, Jack Gore, Kassie Wesley DePaiva and Bill Sage also brought great acting chops to this dark tale.

1 win and 9 other nominations this twisted blood-bond dysfunctional family curdled the audience’s psyche for 105 minutes. Although they only grossed $76 thousand USD at the box-office it was a really solid film with beautiful cinematography and a thrilling story. The ending was a bit disturbing and disappointing to say the least and the soundtrack didn’t do the film any justice.
