We Await

About This Movie

We Await is a trippy little horror piece from '96 that leans heavily into its bizarre premise. You've got this con artist trapped in a deranged cannibal family's lair, and they've got this wild green fungal goo sourced from a sentient crystal. The atmosphere is thick with dread and the pacing's a bit off-kilter, which actually works in its favor, keeping you on edge. The practical effects are a mixed bag but there's something raw about them that adds to the unsettling vibe. Plus, the performances from the cannibal family are definitely memorable, pushing that over-the-top edge without losing their grip on the grotesque reality they've created. It’s definitely got its own flavor, that's for sure.
