First Look: Stills From Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are

Published on September 19, 2013

It contains a thicker premise with perhaps a more “fleshed” out backstory than the original on which it is based on (Jorge Michel Grau’s 2010 Somos lo que hay) and its prequel and sequel potential will be exploited fairly soon: helmer AJ Annila has been signed to go back in time with the saga/family tree.

Jim Mickle’s third film after 2006’s Mulberry Street and Stake Land, eOneFilms has provided us (here’s the official site too) with some exclusive set of pics for the Sundance preemed, internationally launched in Cannes We Are What We Are. The psychological horror flick features the Parker family comprised of possible indie queen it-girl Julia Garner, the always awesome Michael Parks (see him in Red State) and supporting players in Bill Sage, Ambyr Childers, Wyatt Russell and Mickle-muse Kelly McGillis lands in theaters September 27th.
