Jacob Lewis: [possessed by the spirit of Lassander Dagmar] You're gonna listen to that old bastard? We were good people! This town murdered my family - sacrificed them to the gods they dug up when they built this place! Oh, nobody knew what was under this house until it was too late!

Featured review
A movie out of time and space...
We Are Still Here is paradoxically earnest and witty. There are a lot of reasons why you might enjoy the movie.
It's a blend of intertextual reference and homage, love letter to the genre, and desire to live in the past. If it weren't quite so earnest, it would almost be a parody. It's Lovecraftian in that sense-being a work not of its time.
The points where it departs from the reasons above are the points where it loses itself. The deep emersion in decades past are subverted a few times, and that does detract from the enjoyment.
The pacing of the movie is...awkward in good ways. It's like watching a newborn giraffe stand up for the first time, and then suddenly blow up.
Most of the movies effects are physical, but this makes the ones that aren't stand out enough to pull me out of the experience and land me in bad CGI land.
Despite it's flaws, if your a fan of the horror genre and have any frame of reference for horror movies of decades past, its likely to be an enjoyable experience.
