| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisIt’s all a little silly, but Mr. Mickle’s restrained gravity stifles the impulse to laugh. |
| Film.comWilliam GossAmong the stronger American horror films of the year. |
| NPRIan BuckwalterMickle and co-writer Nick Damici gutted Grau's story to the bone. And they not only built something entirely new on that skeleton — they managed to equal and in many ways surpass the dark, bloody beauty of their source material. |
| Reason OnlineKurt LoderA rich, dark horror movie with a pervasive atmosphere of dread and corruption. |
| Cinemalogue.comTodd JorgensonThis deliberately paced remake of the superior 2010 Mexican film of the same name has some stylish atmospheric touches, although it could use more of the twisted sense of humor it only flashes in spurts. |
| Film Freak CentralWalter Chawit's about transformation and transgression, and, when all's said and done, it's about family. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiIntelligently conceived, beautifully executed and filled with surprisingly convincing performances all around... We Are What We Are is that rare horror film that could play at both arthouse and grindhouse theaters without seemingly out of place at either one. |

| Inside HorrorStaci Layne WilsonThe film looks picturesque as can be, is well-acted, and very smartly plotted. |
