The Scooby:
Though the premise and genre has been covered in many classic horrors, what separates We Are Still Here from the others is multi-faceted. Middle-aged actors dominate the screen, and do a great job. The gore is earned through the film’s nerve shattering tension, created by great shots and lingering cinematography.
Although parts of the plot feel cliché, the climax is exhilarating. It’s pretty bloody, but the crescendo carries you in its frantic gait. We Are Still Here begins quiet and peaceful, shifts into a harrowing ghost story, and explodes in gore; the pacing is extraordinary. This film is destined to become a classic horror movie, or gather a passionate cult fan base.
