Review of We Are Still Here (2015) by Harlansaysso — 10 Jul 2015

We Are Still Here is something of a mess to be quite frank. A film set clearly in the early 80's and the cinematography shows. Though it has things going for it , like a decent story and look and feel, I honestly just could not get into this movie.

Being someone who is very open minded about horror films ( I must be one of the rare who believe The Blair Witch Project is still something of absolute brilliance), I expected this movie to really shake it up and wow me.

I was thoroughly disappointed. The acting was sub-par at best and the characters just didn't resonate well. This I believe could have been alleviated had this had a stronger cast, however it just felt muddled and comical at times when I felt the story was getting intense.

It was just a sloppy film and I couldn't wait for it to be done. And then after watching, I cursed myself out for spending the time to watch it . The ghosts were definitely scary enough, and the film certainly felt like a time piece.

.......They just did not mesh well together and instead of being something unique and scary, it was disappointing and tiring. I would only rent this if you are really into ghost stories. But for as much hope as I had in this film, I am just glad it is over and that I can hopefully deter anyone from wasting their time and money on this .

.......Trust me............
