We Are What We Are (2013)

We Are What We Are (2013), directed by Jim Mickle, is a slow-burning horror thriller that delves into themes of family, tradition, and survival with unsettling precision. A remake of the 2010 Mexican film of the same name, this version shifts the setting to rural America, creating a gothic, rain-soaked atmosphere that enhances its eerie tone.

The story follows the Parkers, a reclusive family who follow ancient customs, find their secret existence threatened as a torrential downpour moves into their area, forcing daughters Iris and Rose to assume responsibilities beyond those of a typical family.
