The story follows the Parker family, who live in isolation and adhere to a disturbing ritual pᴀssed down for generations. When their mother unexpectedly dies, the responsibility of maintaining their secretive traditions falls upon the two teenage daughters, Iris (Ambyr Childers) and Rose (Julia Garner). As a storm threatens their home and the local doctor (Michael Parks) begins to investigate the disappearance of townspeople, the family’s dark secrets start to unravel.
The film builds to a chilling and brutal climax, delivering an unsettling conclusion that lingers long after the credits roll. Beneath its horror elements, it subtly critiques blind adherence to tradition, making it more than just a gruesome tale.
Though its pacing might feel slow for viewers expecting more conventional horror, We Are What We Are rewards patience with a richly atmospheric and deeply disturbing experience. It’s a must-watch for fans of psychological horror and slow-burn thrillers.
