Tomatometer Percentage: 95% Writer-director Ted Geoghegan's We Are Still Here is a strong entry into the so-tired-it's-yawning sub-genre of haunted house movies. But when the goings-on are as macabre as this, with the freakiness turned up to 11, we can forgive the fact that the film inhabits such familiar stomping grounds. Besides, when people want to stop watching films revolving around unwitting couples moving into disturbed rural American farmhouses, filmmakers will stop making them. Until then, we thankfully have We Are Still Here. Grieving couple Paul and Anne decide to relocate to New England following the death of their son Bobby, and it's not long before creepy neighbours are warning them about the history of their house and what exactly is going to happen to them. Namely, the house and its evil spirits want to gobble them up as vengeance for the horrendous actions of some dodgy morticians who operated out of the house some years before. Those neighbours might not exactly be trustworthy either. Geoghegan gives good pacing to his script and the various old school spills, chills 'n' thrills that populate the run-time. The film makes not only good use of its period setting, but it logistically has a purpose to boot. We Are Still Here is a good portion of retro Americana that may ever so slightly fumble its finale, but remains an extremely enjoyable experience in a forest-for-the-trees kind of way.
