We Are What We Are (2010)

Mexican horror film about a family who ritualistically murder people for reasons that are never fully explained. What are they? Vampires? Cannibals? Nuts? They are what they are, I guess. I tried not to think too hard about it. Come to think of it, we never actually see them eat their victim's flesh or drink their blood, it seems they just keep mechanically killing because it's a family tradition. Not bad, many scenes were very effective, and it's obvious this has aspirations higher than your average horror film, it made the legitimate film festival circuit. Just vaguely dissatisfying, horror fans might not enjoy it's restraint in the gore department, and those looking for a serious film experience might find it a little silly.
