We Are What We Are (2013)

Great Movie...Up Until The Last 10 minutes!

[3/10 · 18 August 2016]

Let me first start off with telling you that I loved this movie up until the last 10 minutes. It was slow moving, but not boring. The cinematography was excellent, acting was superb, there was suspense, there was a feeling of creepiness and the plot was very interesting. The problem is with the very end. It didn't follow through with the believable line of thinking that it had been up until that point. These people believed that they had to eat human flesh in order to stay alive and that regular food was poison to them. They had always eaten their human meat cooked like we would beef, pork or chicken, but at the last five minutes the two girls suddenly started to eat their father alive. That would be like me, after eating cooked meat all my life, suddenly just biting into a cow while it was still alive. The children were not crazy. They were just taught from birth that they needed human flesh to live. So why at the very end, did the writer decide that they out of the blue liked raw meat. Sure they wanted to kill their father and were biting out his jugular and wrist veins, but they weren't spitting it out. They just kept eating him. Didn't make sense to me. Too bad, because it was doing so well. Unbelievable ending. It's like a train speeding rapidly down the tracks and for some random reason, jumps the tracks and crashes.
