When Jim Mickle took on the task of remaking Jorge Michael Grau's We Are What We Are for American audiences, the last thing he wanted to do was film a strict remake. So his version of the cannibal-family drama ditches the urban setting and most of the plot points for a tight-focus, intimate view of a rural family who just so happen to eat other people from time to time. The intensity of focus and small scale set a distinct mood and paint a picture of a bizarre, horrifying world that the family's young girls accept as normal, making for a horror film that pushes much different buttons than the typical slasher. We talked to the writer/director about his approach to doing a remake, the infl...

One of the films making its premiere during Sundance's Park City at Midnight line-up is We Are What We Are, a remake of Jorge Michael Grau's Mexican film of the same name. Today, ShockTillYouDrop.com has received two new stills from the production. This in addition to the photo we received a few weeks ago (which you see to the right).
Directed by Stake Land's Jim Mickle, the film stars Julia Garner, Ambyr Childers and Bill Sage. In the film, a a seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Sage) rules his family with a rigorous ferver, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris (Childers) and Rose (Garner) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family.
