    Well, if you are looking for anything normal, you are gravely mistaken. Get ready for explicitness you may have rarely seen in mainstream cinema. It may seem like a very well-acted incest porn movie, with clear view of the genitals, fellatio, and hardcore sex. But it is not erotic at all. It is strange how Emiliano managed to leave out titilation altogether. You will end up analyzing this flick for a long time, that I can promise.

    I don't know if I liked this movie...lol. Surreal but oddly engaging.

    Noe Fernandez's performance was excellent, but this must me one of the most disturbing movies I've ever watched. Definitely not for the meek.

    Let's just take out the incest, necrophilia, nudity and cannibalism, what's left is about 30 minutes of confusing mess disguised as art.

    This is one big visual and auditory assault that manages to make you feel very uncomfortable in an impressively visceral fashion (some of it is truly vile and sickening), pushing boundaries whenever possible – it really feels like a descent into darkness, depravity and madness. Is there an explanation, a reason to all that we see happening? That's the most interesting thing about the film: you can interpret it how you like and I have my theories, but one thing's for sure, there's no obvious answer. ‘We Are The Flesh' does what it set out to do and it does it with little restraint. Having said all that, I honestly can't actually tell you whether I enjoyed the process of watching or not – I can't imagine ever wanting to watch it again, so I guess that says something. It's as intriguing as it is repulsive, and it's definitely going to put a lot of people well and truly off, but it's also going to stick in people's minds and have them talking, even if only to say "wtf".

    okayyyy. like i've said before about other films, i don't think this is all that extreme as other people claim. my initial reaction is wtf - where's the backstory. we're just to assume that we know why these people are confined to this run-down seemingly post-apocolyptic building. what happened? how did they get there? however, now knowing the ending i can move past the non-existent backstory. although in the same train of thought, you're led to believe the couple are brother & sister, when there was zero minutes of character development to convince you. besides them verbally telling you, they didn't feel like brother & sister to me - which took away the feeling i think you were supposed to get while watching the rest of the film. absolutely nothing explained the random rebirth that happened mid-movie. OR how there was all of a sudden 100 people in that cave. the only thing i did enjoy is the very very end. that's a great twist. that's a really fricken fantastic twist. BUT i have no idea what happened & my final reaction is just wtf. it's extremely unsatisfying. i probably will not forget that i watched this film by any means, but it felt like a waste. i do not recommend.

    Definitely a mind fuck of a movie, which was interesting. Theres tons of nudity and sex, which is different for a horror movie. Hard to explain... likely have to watch it again as the ending just totally confused me.

    Thoroughly disturbing, weird as can be. Not an enjoyable film but not a bad film.

    "Filmgoers who brave We Are the Flesh may regret seeing it. Forgetting it is another matter entirely." I will never forget it but, I would never tell anyone to watch it.

    Those who gave this film a low rating don't seem to understand metaphor. There's a lot to unpack here.
