The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

We Are What We Are (2010)

Director: Jorge Michel Grau

Premise:
After there father disappears and is eventually found dead, his family must figure out how to survive without him. Their mother is borderline mad, the brothers fight for control, and the sister tries to piece it all together as the time for the ritual nears and meat must be captured.

My Take:
A cannibalism movie masked in a family drama. The family must try to carry on after the loss of the person who took care of them all. While you never find out the meaning behind the rituals, you know its important to family. Each character is played to perfection as their lives are thrown into upheaval. The story explodes to a violent ending.

Rating: So Good (and then some)
