Audio Commentary

Is it in any way connected to the Mexican 'We are What we Are'? (must be really:doh:) caught the first few seconds of that on Film4 as I recorded it, seemed pretty good, catch up with it when I have the time. If Mickle gets anywhere near the heights of Stake land this will be a must, remake or not.

That's the one, Plato! It's the new remake of the Mexican cannibal movie and one of the few remakes that is actually better - definitely up there with Stake Land

Fancy a sneak preview of We Are What We Are? Well, here you go!

What do you think of the clip?

Kermode gave it a good review, especially nice to hear since he tends to not look favourably on English-language remakes of horror films:
