More Tasty News from the Camp of "We Are What We Are"

Memento Films International has approved a prequel AND sequel to Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are. An adaptation of a 2010 Mexican film of the same name, the film hasn’t even been nationally released yet however it was released at Sundance this past January, and will be making it’s international debut at The Directors Fornight next week.

According to Mr. Disgusting at Bloody Disgusting, AJ Annila (Sauna, Jade Warrior) will be taking the directors helm for the prequel, adequately titled What We Were. It will examine how mama met papa and how the Parker’s bizarre rituals were set into place.

Last week I put it on the must watch list, and I’m sticking by it. The trailer looks solid, and while I can’t say I’m excited about this news (as I haven’t even had the oppurtunity to see the film yet) I don’t mind it either. It’s getting damn good reviews thus far.

Prepare Yourself for "We Are What We Are"

 

Now THIS is the kind of movie that really gets my engine running. In the modern horror world of jump scares, ghost stories and demonic houses, We Are What We Are, an adaptation of the 2010 Mexican film of the same name,debuted at Sundance to favorable reviews (7.2/10 on IMDB).

Starring Julia Garner and Ambyr Childers, it tells the story of the seemingly wholesome Parker family who happen to have a secret penchant for having guests for dinner. And by having guests for dinner, I don’t mean throwing dinner parties. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier.

Yesterday a sneak peek was released of the film and oh boy did it get my blood pumping, take a peek here and, please, do share. What do you think?
