If you loved Cold in July, try We Are What We Are

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Jim Mickle, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Cold in July, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What We Are What We Are is

Mid-May rain turns Main Street to a river, the porch swing groaning under a drenched cloth doll. A funeral hymn is sung off-key by daughters in identical church dresses, their gloves darkening with first blood. By dawn the old recipe is already simmering. A ritual barely begun when the next storm cells gather.
