We Are What We Are
A deeply unsettling and atmospheric horror-drama, *We Are What We Are* unfolds as a chilling examination of inherited belief and desperate familial loyalty. Following the death of the mother, two sisters are initiated into a horrifying, secret practice dictated by their deeply religious and isolated community – a ritualistic cannibalism rooted in a desperate attempt to survive and maintain connection. The film eschews jump scares for a pervasive, oppressive tension, focusing on the unsettling normalcy with which the family confronts their macabre tradition, and the quiet dread of outsiders slowly piecing together the horrifying truth. It’s not a story of monstrous villains, but of individuals trapped by a disturbing legacy, grappling with faith, desperation and the lengths one will go to for family, painting a portrait of survival as a profoundly isolating and ethically compromised act.
