Horrorfest 2024: We Are Still Here

We Are Still Here
Written and Directed by Ted Geoghegan
Starring Barbara Crampton, Andrew Sensenig, Larry Fessenden and Lisa Marie
USA, 2015

A couple grieving the loss of their son move into an old house in the New England countryside in an attempt to start a new life in WE ARE STILL HERE, a low budget hit-and-miss ghost flick.

No sooner do they move in than the grieving mother (Barbara Crampton) starts sensing a presence and assumes it is the spirit of her dead teenage son. Dad (Andrew Sensenig) is not so sure, but it’s too late, because their wacky spiritualist buddies (Larry Fessenden and Lisa “Vampira” Marie) are on their way to check things out.

Meanwhile, the townsfolk are creeps who keep alluding to something sinister going on in the house, and it isn’t long before they’ve got their pitchforks and have our heroes surrounded. Turns out, the presence in the house may not be the dead teen. OR IS IT? 

This movie does a lot with a little but doesn’t really tread any new ground. So, while it’s an impressive low budget yarn, and a good way to spend an evening when you’re trying to watch 31 horror movies in 31 days, there’s not a ton to recommend it.
