We Are What We Are (2013)
The Mexican original was far more engaging & entertaining. Though it's not a straight remake as plotwise both are quite different but where the original version did have some social commentary, it just a tale of a cannibal-family, made decently with a slow & subtle approach.

Given that her story arc in the film is that of a newbie drug user who goes further down a spiral of (unsimulated) drug use, this fact left me shaken.

That's really sad. I was thinking to gave it a watch but read couple of mixed reviews of it and so wasn't sure. There's plenty of interesting movies to watch, I might give it a shot someday.
