WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, the Mexican cannibal drama and Fantastic Fest award winner, premieres today on IFC On Demand. Not too late for one last piece of marketing to get you excited though, is it? (Actually two, considering we brought you the new poster earlier this morning as well.) Spike (of all places) has just slapped up the new, official trailer for the film, and it’s pretty goddamn compelling. Watch it for yourself below.
“A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three children destitute. The devastated family is confronted not only with his loss but with a terrible challenge – how to survive. For they are cannibals. They have always existed on a diet of human flesh consumed in bloody ritual ceremonies… and the victims have always been provided by the father. Now that he is gone, who will hunt? Who will lead them? How will they sate their horrific hunger? The task falls to the eldest son, Alfredo, a teenage misfit who seems far from ready to accept the challenge… But without human meat the family will die.”
WE ARE WHAT WE ARE stars Francisco Barreiro
Alan Chávez, Paulina Gaitán and Carmen Beato.
