thesar-2 or Gateway Porn.I attended a horror movie marathon ("Shock Around the Clock!") in Columbus, Ohio in October 2016 and We Are the Flesh was scheduled to premiere there. After some positive things I heard of it, I was admittedly intrigued. Granted, and in my defense of the review I'm about to write, I was told extremely little of this except for the very basic plot. Sadly, for me at the time, the film's sound was off. After a few attempts to fix this and moving other shorts/films around to do so, it never worked, so they scrapped it.The Shock Around the Clock! host should be absolutely thanking his lucky stars it never played. Number one, and the least minor thing wrong, was that this was a horror movie marathon and if this is 10% horror, that's being generous. Sure, there are horror elements, but the real "theme" if there is one, is that it's more Sci-Fi than horror. And you wouldn't even know it was somewhat Sci-Fi if you didn't know the synopsis going in as they never once explain what the hell's going on in this movie's universe. Number two: this is pretentious, artsy-fartsy crap. Yes, some would look at this as art, depth and a statement against (insert current social injustice here.) I don't blame people for wanting to go outside the box and experience the exact opposite of mainstream films. In the Shock Around the Clock! host's defense, the majority of his picks are just as pompous, so this would've fit right in. Only……Number three wrong and the most damaging: this is straight up pornography. I asked my friend who I attended the marathon with if there were any children in attendance since I couldn't recall. He said his son was there. There might have been other kids, as well. NO KID or TEEN should ever see this movie. Even with parental permission.Not to spoil any plot points – though that would be hard because there's about an ounce of actual plot here – but, what I am referring to when I call this porn: constant full frontal nudity of both sexes (and both adults and under-aged teens – though, it might have been just be the character's ages; more on this later) even with lingering shots on both genitalia, penetration, sexual acts, masturbation all around, orgies and incest…if I recalled it all.I am not prude. But, it is shocking to me that the Shock Around the Clock! marathon was going to show this to families with kids. I have heard that the host may/may not see all the movies prior to save for the experience of seeing some of the films for the first time on the big screen and with the (usually) "appropriate" audience, but word of warning: screen your movies first next time. This would've been wildly inappropriate to show to any underage person.Aside from all that, the movie wasn't any good. It's a tale of some crazed, horny and pretty ingenious survivor held up in what looks like a school and two young siblings break in and offer themselves (in many ways) to stay with him since "the city had no place for them." While under his, um, care?, he forces them to be the opposite of their nature, or morals, and the movie is just porn from there on. Oh, fine, while there are some bloody scenes (remember? 10% horror/sci-fi,) there's more singing and random screaming to fill in the gaps of the 79 minute runtime that felt like three hours.As stated in many examples, this isn't recommended for the underage crowd. But, for adults, instead, just watch porn. At least most of those adult films have plots 10x more coherent than this one did.***Final thoughts: Apparently, according to an unreliable source/website, the actors, namely the brother and sister, are of-age in real life, but they do look like they're young teens. So, if anyone wanted to see this just to get their rocks off, just know that in real life or in the fictional setting of this movie, you might just be watching nude kids walk around, have sex and everything in-between. Good luck explaining this to the feds if it's on your hard drive.

subxerogravity Wish I could say it wasn't that bad, I like it, or rather parts of it.When I saw the poster at a local theater I was thinking this was going to be a Si-Fi horror film. Even the synopsis gave me this ideal, and it was horrifying but more in a human way rather than super natural.So two kids end up in a place were they meet a man whose out of his mind and the three have bizarre sexual encounters with one another.I did like the crazy dude in the film, he was disturbing in that horrific sort of way.Plus, I can't give a movie to low of a score considering it had so much awesome nudity and strong sexual content in it (Just being honesty).But what I was expecting from the small paragraph that help me get interested in seeing the movie was not what I ended up seeing. I felt the ad campaign was met to be a metaphor of something. We Are the Flesh is very similar to M. Night Shyamalan's the Village in that all it's not what it seems, but with far less story (Or no story at all cause I really have no idea what this movie is about or trying to say).When the movie starts and I realizes that it's a very small indi film in a foreign language I was expecting far more talking, but a lot of what I got was interpretive movement and in your face nudity (Which is where I think the actual name of the film was met to be about).So I'm into hard core sex in mainstream movies but whatever the filmmakers wanted me to feel by watching this experimental feature I did not feel (Unless they wanted me to feel horny).

Bryan Kluger Filmmaker Emiliano Rocha Minter has certainly cemented his name in the annals of art house horror and sexual fantasy cinema with his Spanish film 'We Are The Flesh'. Standing in the same room with films of Gaspar Noe ('Irreversible', 'Enter The Void'), John Waters ('Pink Flamingos'), and dare I even say Pier Paolo Pasolini ('Salo: 120 Days of Sodom'), 'We Are The Flesh' takes a very violent and sexual look into a surreal apocalyptic scenario in something that you've never really seen before. For all of its taboo subjects that it has no problems or apologies for showing on screen, sometimes which is up close and personal, Minter gives a very Kubrick-esque look at this bizarre story.It's fairly hard to find the plot here, as we focus on an older man (Noé Hernández) who would give the boogeyman the creeps. This man is obsessed with building something out of cardboard and tape, when two teenage siblings enter the dilapidated building he's residing in. He agrees to let them stay in turn for helping him build what looks like to be a cave to hell. Also, he has them act out explicits sexual acts on each other. There is no real idea as to what's happening outside this building, but it's alluded that there is a war or apocalypse of some sort and that this old man is providing his own version of a perverted salvation, which delves deeper into a sadistic abyss of torture, death, and sex.The teenagers are great here, but Noé Hernández is unbelievably scary and excellent on film. I've never seen anything like it before in a performance. People who are looking for something soft and kind or if they feel like they are seasoned gore hounds might even find this film a bit disturbing. However, Minter doesn't mess about with the super gory shots or quick cuts. Instead, he takes his camera into an unflinching and unescapable place where we the audience are forced to watch everything that happens on screen in a sort of filter-colored hypnotic nightmare that only gets worse as time goes on.'We Are The Flesh' is a slow burn film. It's one that pushes the bounds of taste and art, but in that good way in that you want to see more from this filmmaker. People in the independent film industry should take note of Emiliano Rocha Minter, because he has a beautiful eye for film and has something to say.RECOMMENDED!

Joshua Hillyard Never trust reviews from people who walk out of a movie. Reviews are opinions stressed by people who watched the whole film. When people write reviews of films they walked out of, that's not a review: it's an uninformed comment.This is as much as a review as it is an honest opinion by someone who watched the film in its entirety. Keeping in mind that great films shouldn't be loved by everyone.We Are the Flesh is a cinematic version of dark thoughts and ideas most people immediately remove from their train of thought. As long as you are human enough to understand what is right and wrong in reality, there isn't a single thing wrong with examining dark and even grim thoughts that every single human being has from time to time. This film explores those themes and presents them in ways that are meant to be hard to watch. These are themes that you normally wouldn't bring up in random conversations with random people. These are themes that aren't meant to be visited often but should be explored at least once. Just to see what they look like. Just to see what dark and grim things you otherwise would not have in your life (by choice) but are curious to see the repercussions from the vile acts that go on in dark places. For me, We Are the Flesh depicts a horrid version of common, hopeless and deprived humanity. It's a brief example of those dark things I never would allow myself to act upon physically or emotionally. But I find those areas of the unknown panning out visually stimulating. Afterward, I can walk away when the film ends satisfied for experiencing a story that made me think of things I don't want to think about. But I can leave those dark questions answered by putting them behind me and leaving them with this film.Which to me, makes for a wonderful and well made film.
