In WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, a seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Bill Sage, "Boardwalk Empire") rules his family with a rigorous fervor, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris (Ambyr Childers, THE MASTER) and Rose (Julia Garner, MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE, SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, the local authorities begin to uncover clues that bring them closer to the secret that the Parkers have held closely for so many years.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

I'm generally not into horror films. The new ones just don't seem to do the genre justice - but this one does (and yes I'm aware it is a remake of a Mexican film). Plot gets you captivated right from the first minute.

Turned out to be a hidden treasure on Netflix. There's a tension right from the very beginning that grips you right to the very end. Excellent performances by the young actors. Easily a 5/5.

A very good family eat them upper...
