We Are What We Are Audience Reviews

ThiefHott Too much of everything
Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
rdoyle29 The matriarch of the Parker family dies suddenly right before an important family ritual. It falls on eldest daughter Iris (Ambyr Childers) to take her mother's place and complete the ritual. Heavy rains and flooding have revealed evidence that leads to Doc Barrow (Michael Parks) investigating the Parkers and their connection to a host of missing people. This one's a really slow meditation on religion and familial authority that has an explosively gory climax. Kelly McGillis and Larry Fessenden turn up in supporting roles.
Michael Radny Though this film is excessively tedious to get through with it's pacing problems and slight incoherence, We Are What We Are has a pretty cool story to tell. Though for scary horror fans, this film may disappoint, but the chills this film does give is that of creepiness and dark themed violence.This film is definitely not without it's problems, but what is wrong with the film balances out with what is right. If you can keep your eyes op until the end, you won't regret it, but it's not your fault if you can't. It's probably not the most entertaining film ever made, but the stories twist can account for a few fun moments; I just wish there were more of them.
Lee Mackey All Spoilers Ahead!Pretty standard backwards cannibalistic/murderous nuclear family story. This was a little different in that rather than the family being mutant deformed creeps living in caves or off the beaten track (TCM, The Hills Have Eyes et al), this movie took aim at a more home-schooled Bible belter kind of target.There were some pretty big plot holes. For instance, the police chief was spectacularly absent. (Seriously, it took the town *doctor* to figure out there had been an inordinate number of missing people in the area?) And the question of how the family managed to perpetuate its line through several centuries was completely unexplained. (Normal genre M.O. would probably be to chain up women in the basement, have the patriarch impregnate them, then kill and eat the mother after delivering. but none of that was explained or demonstrated.) There were some scene-setting anachronisms: hair & styling were kind of all over the place; the doctor records his observations on cassette tapes, but people have cell phones; etc.But overall it was a pretty decent little film and the acting was okay. The father was actually a pretty stock-issue backwoods Bible thumper but the kids weren't bad. One thing I will give it credit for, the scene on the table at the end was good. That scene was quite reminiscent of Beatrice Dalle's Coré in Trouble Every Day -- though far less disturbing!
Andy Gibbens The only thing I got from watching this movie was I must stop going by IMDb reviewers reviews. After reading about how great this was, 7 and 8 stars it was getting, so as you can imagine I rushed out and got the DVD, I feel duped, lied to, This was awful. I've never been so bored. I expected so much and got so little. Listed as a horror? Really? There's more macabre in Bambi. The only thing good about this movie was the acting. Solid acting from Bill Sage and Michael Parks but just so slow and sluggish. Honestly, don't waste your time if your looking for a good horror, but if your having restless nights and need help sleeping, whack this on.
