Strikingly original in technique, it pays no heed to the old masters of Mexican film; alluding only indirectly to present social conditions, it rewrites the horror genre with a premise that is outrageously novel.

A competent barebones transfer of a horror film that deserves to win a wider audience among the Netflix crowd.

An unexpectedly rich exploration of family bonds, blood rituals and the oftentimes zombie-like desire to assume the roles proscribed to each of us, played out with a sharp undertow of political allegory and darkly comic sensibility.

Deftly balancing a horror premise with the politics of a family drama, We Are What We Are is utterly refreshing.
