WE ARE WHAT WE ARE (90 mins)
The horror genre continues to be redefined in this new film about a poverty-stricken family with unusual dietary requirements. When a middle-aged man dies in the street, his widow and three children are drawn into an increasingly desperate struggle for survival. Without father to provide fresh ?meat? what will they do? Beautifully shot in a Mexico City that is unusually devoid of bright sunshine, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE is equal parts horror, family drama and coming-of-age tale. After screenings at Cannes and the Fantasia film festivals earlier in the year, it has gained much support online and is a must-see for anyone who can stomach the subject matter.
