Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Portia Hilton Blistering performances.
gavin6942 In the cold, wintry fields of New England, a lonely old house wakes up every thirty years - and demands a sacrifice.Let's face it: Barbara Crampton delivers one of her stronger performances, whereas the male lead delivers his lines in a very stunted way. He shall not even be named here. But good on Crampton! Far too many "horror icons" feel the need to phone in their performances, thinking their name on the poster is all that matters. And while it is true that Crampton's name does sell, she adds a great deal of value to her name here, in what may be her best work since the Stuart Gordon years.We also have a fun role for Larry Fessenden, who really deserves to have a little fun. Has any other creative genius launched more great independent filmmakers in the last decade? I would guess not.
BA_Harrison Having lost their son Bobby in an accident, grieving parents Anne and Paul Sacchetti (Barbara Crampton and Andrew Sensenig) move to the countryside, but discover that their new home holds a terrifying secret.As I am sure you are aware, establishing shots are used to set the scene, fixing the location and building atmosphere. For his debut movie, director Ted Geoghegan uses a lot of this kind of shot, not just at the beginning of a new scene, but randomly throughout his whole film, so-much-so that it actually proves distracting. The location is bleak and remote. It's cold. The building is creepy. I get it. Move on.Numerous pointless images of the outside of the house, gentle snowfall and barren trees aside, We Are Still Here is actually a fun little movie, its initial slow-burn approach delivering the chills, and a splatterific finale providing the thrills, gory highlights including a shotgun blast to the head, a crushed cranium and several knives rammed into someone's neck.Performances are little rough around the edges (although it could be the dialogue to blame), but that doesn't prevent We Are Still Here from being an enjoyable effort from a director who, if he can curtail his penchant for a superfluous shot, could well be going places.6.5 out of 10, rounded up to 7 for IMDb.
DogFilmCritic I have to admit this movie made the atmosphere decent enough to for a horror film but it didn't deliver.All this "tribute" films taking place in the 70s-80s trying to capture that essences that creepers us as kids, instead we get a step by step remake environment were there focus is make it as period time as possible so the audience will have their nostalgia goggles on, were they fail is that they bring many ideas to make it more intriguing and it turns out a mess, the ideas are their but they are semi placed and with a length of an hour and twenty three minutes there's no time to explain them so you have to build your own ideas on what's going on.The acting doesn't help as it feels wooden and amateur at times, the effects were mostly practical honestly that was refreshing, and that 70s feel was their but barley meaning they did the best they could to make it in that era but it's a small town covered with snow so we see mostly the house furniture.Watch it or don't watch it ,to me it just didn't work
Eoghan McCarthy Looks good, but the reveal is far too early.I was really enjoying the creepy start to this, but it's reveal is far too early, unfortunately. I was so impressed by part of the reveal, but so disappointed at it's timing, that I turned it off. It looked great though, and had great acting, I just lost interest.You may feel this is unfair, but I've seen enough really good horrors to know which ones I should finish.Now, I'm just filling up the space so that I publish my review. You can stop reading now.Here are some of my favourite horrors: The Orphanage, House of the Devil, Creep, Halloween.
