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

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 We Are What We Are, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Cold in July is

East Texas, summer night, gunshot. Richard thought the squatter meant harm. Now the dead man's daddy, a scary dude just out of the pen, wants to talk. See what Richard knows. Bleak neo-noir for fans of late-period Sam Fuller.
