We Are Still Here Analysis

We Are Still Here is a film that I've been craving for awhile. I didn't know that I was at first, but once I was through to the end credits, I felt almost completely satisfied. I was only a little bit hungry for a better ending, but I'm watching my weight, so it's probably a good thing I wasn't stuffed. The flick had plenty of righteous stuff going for it. It had gore, it had spooks, it had chills and it had some awesome acting from most of cast, save for a couple people, who thankfully are dispatched in gory fashion. If you're a fan of Fulci's work like House by the Cemetery, you'll be as happy as a pig in mud. Anchor Bay will also have your Blu-ray cravings filled with their release.

PLOT SUMMARY

In the cold, wintery fields of New England, a lonely old house wakes up every thirty years - and demands a sacrifice.

MOVIE

A lot of goodness of We Are Still Here comes from not knowing much about the plot and going in completely blind.

Right from the get-go, the film is oozing a spooky atmosphere, with the cold winter environment to back it all up. You know something ain't right about this house that the XXX have moved into and what exactly is it, is left until the very end of the movie, when all hell breaks loose and the movie goes to high gore overdrive. Before that spectacular gorefest, the movie throws in some seances, possession and a backstory that is kept very vague. That is actually one problem that I had with the movie, the story is never fully developed properly. The ending comes around and we are left wondering exactly what happened. I have a few ideas, but nothing concrete, as the ending is left wide
