Mexican horror has been coming on strong over the last few years, and of course we here in the States are just biding our time before remaking every single one of their best offerings into a homogenized snoozefest with a marketable hot young cast.

We first told you about We Are What We Are (or Somos Lo Que Hay) several weeks ago in the fashion of a few atmospheric stills. Now it’s time to bring a little of the red stuff for you image fiends out there.

Dig on the new stills below, and look for more as soon as we get it!

Synopsis
“A middle-aged man dies in the street, leaving his widow and three sons 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 slake 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.

Shocking, bloody, and deeply moving, WE ARE WHAT WE ARE is a remarkable reinvention of the horror genre – a visceral and powerfully emotional portrait of a family bound by a terrible secret hunger and driven by monstrous appetites.”
