Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Rav1122 Really this move had a lot going for it in the first 15 or so minutes. Lots of time taken into filming the environment, great shots of the house and the surroundings, and great job with the sound design (lots of creepy/groaning adding to the house) really made it feel like a house that would creep you out. But the second the dialogue starts it just slowly starts going down hill. I understand not wanting to reveal too much too soon, keep the audience intrigued and guessing, but when it is so drawn out like this it really gets me bored and uninterested. I hated the acting by their older neighbor (the guy that ends up trying to kill them in the end) and the woman with the deflated lips. Poor casting for half of the people in this movie. The guy that gets possessed does a stellar job though, that was one of the saving graces of the film. The scene where he gets possessed is great. I did think the whole "this house demands a sacrifice!" thing was pretty lame. So, was the house haunted by the evil family, or was there a different evil in the house already? You can't have it both ways, if the Dagmar family was sacrificed to the house then it is the house that has the evil within it, or was the family themselves so evil that after they died they continued to haunt the house? And how do the townspeople know that every 30 years it demands a sacrifice? Theres just too many plot holes that make it seem like the concept and script was rushed through.Also the ending is a bit confusing. Why did the evil Dagmar ghosts not kill the couple? And somehow they end up seeing their son at the end? Is their son working with the evil family? Non of it makes sense but the overall movie wasn't too bad. Its somewhat entertaining but definitely not a movie you want to re watch.

Michael Ledo After the death of their son Bobby, Paul (Andrew Sensenig) and Anne (Barbara Crampton) leave the city and move into a rural home in upstate NY (note license plate) near Boston (note newspaper article). Anne "feels" Bobby in the house and invites her medium spiritual friend up. By the time they get there we hear the place is haunted by the Dagnar family and even see one or two. The Dagnar were the original owners.The film opened up interesting and ended as a "b" film with an exploding head and blood splattered all over the place. The ending was a bit disorganized. We saw the whatever too soon. I would have placed those newspaper clippings at the beginning of the film instead of the end. It is okay to give the audience a clue.Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity. How much does a Cecil Cooper autographed baseball goes for and why would a NY/Boston? fan have that instead of one from the home team? How about a Bill Buckner baseball with a scuff mark?

Wuchak RELEASED IN 2015 and directed/written by Ted Geoghegan, "We Are Still Here" is about an aging couple (Andrew Sensenig & Barbara Crampton) who move to the quiet New York countryside after the death of their college-age son. Unfortunately, their fixer-upper is haunted by malevolent ghosts. Monte Markham & Connie Neer play their weird neighbors, the latter secretly warning them to GET OUT. Lisa Marie plays a medium friend of the couple and Larry Fessenden her stoner husband. Older haunted house movies turned me off to the genre, like the lame "House on Haunted Hill" (1959) and the better-but-dull "The Legend of Hell House" (1973); even 1999's "The Haunting" was relatively uninteresting (except the quality cast). The effective remake of "The Amityville Horror" (2005) changed my mind, along with films like "The Grudge 2" (2006). "We Are Still Here" is another quality movie in the genre. The film wisely takes its time to set up the mysterious ambiance, the protagonists and their situation while slowly building up suspense before all hell literally breaks loose. The possession sequence is particularly well done. THE MOVIE RUNS 84 minutes and was shot Palmyra & Shortsville, New York. ADDITIONAL CAST: Michael Patrick Nicholson & Kelsea Dakota play the college couple who visit the house and Marvin Patterson appears as the electrician.GRADE: B+

quinimdb "We Are Still Here" is a type of movie that I thought was extinct. It reminds me of Raimi's "The Evil Dead" (1980). It constantly borders on funny, serious, disgusting, over the top gore-fest, and downright terrifying, and most of the time, it works.Anne and Paul Sacchetti have just lost a son in a car accident, so they decide to move up into a small rural town to get their mind off of things. But right off the bat, something is up. They feel it, and the viewer feels it with the film's ominous opening shots leading up to a picture frame being suddenly slammed down. As the strange occurrences escalate, they invite their friends May and Jacob Lewis, who specialize in the supernatural. From there, all hell breaks loose. Literally.The film knows how to build tension from the start. There are several instances where a shot will suddenly glide away from the protagonist, putting the viewer on edge for what will happen next, since the viewer is expecting something to happen in this spot it is now facing, but, throughout the first half of the movie, big things rarely happen. Early in the film, it is established that there is some presence there. There are glimpses of silhouette figures in the background, either stationary or suddenly swiping across the screen, only rarely does the film break this tension with a jump scare. It lets the tension build and build, and when the viewer least expects it, the jump scare hits so the viewer never knows what to expect while watching the film.There is also a constant sense that the townsfolk are never to be trusted, and we never truly know what is going on with this house and the people in the town. All this mystery culminates with an absolute, balls-to-the-walls gore fest. There is a moment in the seance scene where Jacob suddenly lets out the words "Tear his skin off his bones" completely unexpectedly, and then begins to act very strange when questioned about it, almost unaware of what had just happened. I mention this specific moment because this marks a moment in the film that I began to laugh at for its absurdity and delivery, but also made me way more tense about the following moments. From here on out, it juggles these tense thriller moments with hilarious outbursts and excessive amounts of blood. I will admit the absurdity of these moments can often kill the tension, as well as the stupidity of the characters specifically in one moment when Anne is almost killed (Why were they staring out of the window for so long?). Also, the film has got a little metaphor about acceptance and moving on at the end, which is then totally ruined by its dumb ambiguous ending that doesn't really work in this scenario.Okay, so once this hell breaks loose, the script totally falls apart in some places. There is insinuation that it was the towns fault, and that they unleashed this evil from the house but there is really no motive for them to do this, and the entire story about the man who was selling corpses kind of falls apart. The old mans whole monologue to the supernatural things at the very end is weird and doesn't make much sense when thinking about what it insinuates. There are way more holes, but basically, if you really think about it, the logistics of these scenes don't make much sense. But what is confusing dialogue in retrospect serves its purpose while watching the film, which is mostly to emphasize the danger of the town and build tension, so these flaws aren't really that big of a deal.Nonetheless, the result is pretty impressive and it manages to feel very original in this age of horror films.
