Review of We Are Still Here (2015) by Joellemm — 03 Jun 2016
Interesting set-up, with an appropriate early pacing. There was a simplistic story that provided enough to draw attention, but the positives stop there.
It quickly goes off the rails with over-the-top death sequences, which due to little tension being established, and poor practical effects, come across as cheesy rather than frightening. The acting was average at best, and characters are easily forgettable. The town never becomes as disturbing as Goeghegan hopes it to be. The directing also fails to portray the creepy nature of the setting, which may have otherwise added tension.
By the end, it became a joke. So disappointing from an initially intriguing premise.
