"WE ARE WHAT WE ARE" A Film by Jim Mickle

A trailer has been released for the horror film “WE ARE WHAT WE ARE” which had its world premiere earlier this year at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, and opens in theaters on Friday, September 27th at the Landmark Sunshine in NYC. In WE ARE WHAT WE ARE, described as a re-imagining of the 2010 Mexican film of the same name,” director Jim Mickle paints a gripping portrait of an introverted family struggling to keep their macabre traditions alive.

A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers, have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Bill Sage, “Boardwalk Empire”) rules his family with a rigorous ferver, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris (Ambyr Childers, THE MASTER) and Rose (Julia Garner, MARTHA MARCY MAY MARLENE) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, the local authorities begin to uncover clues that bring them closer to the secret that the Parkers have held closely for so many years.

WE ARE WHAT WE ARE also stars Michael Parks (DJANGO UNCHAINED), Golden Globe nominee Kelly McGillis (WITNESS, TOP GUN), Nick Damici (STAKE LAND), Wyatt Russell (THIS IS 40) and newcomer Jack Gore. WE ARE WHAT WE ARE was written by Mickle and Damici. The two previously collaborated on the screenplays for Mickle’s first two features, MULBERRY STREET and STAKE LAND (winner of the “Midnight Madness” Audience Award at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival).
