We Are What We Are
Blood is the strongest bond.
Directed by Jim Mickle
Produced by Belladonna Productions, Memento Films International
A dark, claustrophobic family horror that uses religious ritual and cannibalism to explore the bonds and secrets that hold a reclusive household together.
The Parkers, reclusive people who cling to ancient customs, find their secret lives threatened when a torrential downpour and the death of the family matriarch forces daughters Iris and Rose to assume special responsibilities.
