Playback
While digging into their town’s infamous past, a group of high school students unwittingly unlock a dark secret, unleashing an evil spirit that takes possession of its victims.
We Are What We Are (remake)
A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank (Sage) 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 (Childers) and Rose (Garner) are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family.
First Clip Offers Uncomfortable Taste Of ‘We Are What We Are’!
After premiering to mixed review out of the Sundance Film Festival (I liked it), Stake Land director Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are remake is heading to the Cannes market. With that, the sales agents have released the first ever footage from the cannibal flick starring Julia Garner, Bill Sage, Wyatt Russell, and Ambyr Childers.
In it we get a taste – pun intended – of the family of cannibals. They’re enjoying soup in an extremely unsettling setting.
“A seemingly wholesome and benevolent family, the Parkers have always kept to themselves, and for good reason. Behind closed doors, patriarch Frank rules the roost with a rigorous fervor, determined to keep his ancestral customs intact at any cost. As a torrential rainstorm moves into the area, tragedy strikes and his daughters Iris and Rose are forced to assume responsibilities that extend beyond those of a typical family. The most important task the girls face is putting meat on the table— but not the kind that can be found at the local supermarket. As the unrelenting downpour continues to flood their small town, local authorities begin to uncover clues that bring them closer to the secret that the Parkers have held closely for so many years.” READ MORE

[Sundance '13 Review] Ryan Digests ‘We Are What We Are’
Sundance Film Festival kicked off this past weekend and one of the first films to play the “Park City At Midnight” portion of the event was Stake Land director Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are. It’s a remake of Mexican director Jorge Michel Grau’s picture about a family of cannibals that’s been moved from its original setting of Mexico City, to a poor part of the Catskills region in New York State.
Ryan Daley caught a screening of the film at the fest and wrote in with his review. “… this crafty exploration of familial ritual has a lot to say and it says it well. In Mickle’s film, tradition may have the power to bind people together, but if overused or outdated, tradition can also rip people apart.”
We Are What We Are has several other Sundance screenings coming up. 1/22/2013 @ 6:00 pm at the Egyptian Theatre, 1/25/2013 @ 11:30 pm at Prospector Square Theatre and 1/26/2013 @ 6:00 pm at Broadway Centre Cinema 6.

Paris-based Memento shared the first ever image from Stake Land director Jim Mickle’s cannibal We Are What We Are, a US remake of Mexican horror film Somo Lo Que Hay, starring Julia Garner, Ambyr Childers, Bill Sage and Kelly McGillis. Mickle will transpose Mexican director Jorge Michel Grau’s picture about a family of cannibals from its original setting of Mexico City, to a poor part of the Catskills region in New York State.
Screen Daily also reports that Memento has picked up world sales on Germinal Alvarez’ debut picture Back in Crime starring Jean-Hugues Anglade as a police inspector on the hunt for a serial killer known as the Eardrum Slasher. Anglade plays Richard Kemp, a police inspector who has been trying to solve a series of slasher murders for more than 20 years. Mélanie Thierry co-stars as a psychologist who gives evidence after witnessing an attack. In a strange twist, Kemp travels back in time to the site of the first murder and tries to change the course of history.
Lastly, Deadline says that Millennium Films has acquired to rights to Eliza Graves, a thriller to be directed by Brad Anderson (The Machinist). “The movie is about a new physician who arrives to apprentice at a mental institution where he falls in love with a patient under circumstances that are more complicated than they seem.” Joseph Gangemi’s screenplay is based on the Edgar Allan Poe short story “The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether.” Millennium plans to start production in spring 2013 and will begin making offers to principal cast next week.
