A few seconds later he collapses to the sidewalk, vomiting up a black, viscous bile before dying. He points at them with wild eyes before he continues on his way. He is obviously very sick & looks demented as he staggers down the street pausing to look at some department store mannequins along the way. As the film opens, we see him coming out of a subway station. Dad is a watch repairman & has a booth in the local outdoor flea market in which he plies his trade. “ We Are Who We Are” deals with a family of 5 (Dad, Mom & 3 teenagers) who live in Mexico. So after I get back to the cool, dank serenity of my home, I fired up the old TV & promptly sat myself down for some good old people eating freaks (sounds like a good title for a movie, don’t it)? What I got was a pretty good movie about cannibals but without any actual cannibalism taking place, confused? Let me explain…. It’s cheaper than seeing it in a theater & I have my own concession stand (kitchen) to rustle up whatever I feel like eating while watching in the comfort of my dusty old sarcophagus. I love watching movies on demand in the mausoleum. Luckily for me it was available at home on demand so I doled out $6.95 to give it a shot. All of the scuttlebutt amongst those who had seen it was very positive so I decided to give it a look see. So as The Black Saint was waiting to see “The Resident” at a screening last week (great movie by the way), he heard a lot of talk about this movie from Mexico called “Somos Lo Que Hay” or “We Are Who We Are”.

Unfortunately for the general populace, they are a family of cannibals, and they are very hungry. One of which is procuring meat for the family to eat. When the head of the family passes away, his wife & 3 children must assume his responsibilities.
