i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
View MoreMinutes 10 - 14: Kinda mundane. Husband and wife take a road trip to move into their new home, hear some things go "bump" in the night, blah... After that the plot develops quickly, new characters come into play and the story line moves at a decent clip. Contrary to the reports of other reviews, I found the acting to be better than adequate for a "B" movie. Solid "B" horror. Acting: Better than many "B" movies. Special Effects: Better than many "B" movies. IMHO
View More31 Days of Spookoween: DAY EIGHTFilm #8: We Are Still Here (2015)Review: "We Are Still Here" is one of those modern indie horror flicks that seem to be helping resurrect the genre. It is jam packed with obvious flaws and occasionally falls into the easy entrapment of cliché, but it makes up for these problems by packing a real punch in its climax and by retaining a sense of mystery and intrigue throughout. The atmosphere and silence of the film is golden, some sequences are brilliantly minimalist, and the cinematography is absolutely stunning! The special effects range in quality, but most of the gore towards the end is really fun and is pulled off very well, while the more tragic and horrific side of the film is never overshadowed by the possible silliness these effects could infiltrate into the film. The performances are mostly sort of mediocre, while some of them are quite good and others are pretty bad, but it doesn't harm the film all too much. Parts of it are so slow it becomes boring, but by the end I was grateful for this because it makes the wild finale all the more exciting! The concept, at first, feels very cliché, but as the film continues and plenty more twists and turns are established, it becomes a rather clever melding of various genre tropes that successfully come together to create a haunting and creepy premise in its own right. While not a very scary movie overall, there are certainly moments of tensity, which lead towards a final feeling of "true" horror. It's not really a masterpiece, but it is clear that the filmmakers behind this one have the potential to make a masterpiece sometime in the near future.
View MoreWhen I came across "We Are Still Here", I was browsing through the horror movie selection. I had not heard about this movie prior to happening to find it by sheer luck. I noticed that Barbara Crampton was in the movie, and I did enjoy watching all the horror movies that she starred in during the mid- and late-80s, especially all the Lovecraftian movies that she starred in. So I decided to watch "We Are Still Here" without even reading the synopsis.The storyline presented in "We Are Still Here" is rather generic if you have grown up with horror movies, as I have. That being said, I am not saying that the storyline was bad, but it was just something that has been seen before in many other horror movies. Writer and director Ted Geoghegan did hit the nail right on the head, because the movie worked out quite well on many levels.As for the acting in the movie, well it was actually nice to see Barbara Crampton back on the screen in a horror movie such as this, because it definitely had roots in the classic way of making horror movies. It was also nice to see Andrew Sensenig, although I wasn't familiar with him prior to this movie, but he really performed well and added a great deal of flavor to his role and character. Monte Markham also made for a short appearance, and he is always a familiar face on the screen."We Are Still Here" has a good character gallery, as the characters are well-detailed and fleshed out on the screen. They have distinct personalities and traits. It was interesting characters that did add a good amount of worth to the storyline.The special effects in the movie were good, convincing and believable. The movie wasn't an abundance of special effects, which some movies tend to be. However, despite the scarcity of the special effects, the practical and CGI effects in the movie were functional, effective and to the point in bringing the storyline to life on the screen.The music score used in the movie was rather simplistic, but it worked so marvelously for the movie, because it was very atmospheric and mood setting. The music that accompanied the scenes really helped bring the setting of the movie and the atmosphere of the movie to life.All in all, "We Are Still Here" is an adequate horror movie, though it wasn't particularly scary. But it had a really good atmosphere to it.
View MoreHaving 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.
