OK, so this isn’t for everyone (especially those of weaker dispositions), but Jim Mickle’s loose adaptation of 2010’s Mexican cannibal horror We Are What We Are surprised many by proving to be a decent, even superior remake, relocating the concept to small-town USA.
After their religious-nut mother dies suddenly, it’s left to daughters Iris (Ambyr Childers) and Rose (Julia Garner) to take on the annual family tradition of preparing a feast of human flesh. But, despite the threat of their overbearing father (a terrifying Bill Sage), the girls want out.
WAWWA walks a fine line between chilling and, at times, just plain silly, but committed performances (especially from its two young leads), suitably gruesome shocks and a sprinkling of none-more-black humour help to keep it on track.

Of course, in the real world, most porn addicts wouldn't bag someone like Johansson. At least I think. You'd more than likely end up with the 50 cigs a day 30 year old with 17 kids who looks like she's 55.

I truly cannot give a s**t when people say Radcliffe is good in a movie, it is physically impossible.

Fruitvale won the Grand Jury Prize and should definitely be number one; i was there in the theater during the first showing of it and everybody was in tears.
