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
Been there, done that. A forgettable haunted house flick.
We Are Still Here seems to be getting a pass from critics, which surprises me. Maybe it's because it doesn't involve zombies or found footage, and that alone makes it an intriguing rarity as far as horror films in 2015 go. But aside from that, We Are Still Here is a completely pedestrian haunted house flick not worth your time.
Family moves into new house. Basement is dark and scary. Things go bump in the night. Townspeople are weird and creepy. A psychic is brought in. A seance is attempted. Some people die violently. Sound familiar? That's because We Are Still Here is exactly the same haunted house movie you've seen a million times. In fact, it's so hackneyed that at first I thought it was going to be some kind of subversive, self-aware comment on horror films, a la Cabin in the Woods (2012), or at least a beautifully-executed homage to the genre like House of the Devil (2009).
No such luck. There's absolutely nothing new or interesting about We Are Still Here. It appears to be set in the 1970's, which is odd because this fact is just barely discernible from some of the cars and a few of the wardrobe choices, and because this particular historical setting adds nothing whatsoever to the effectiveness of the story. The plot, acting, dialog, effects, and cinematography are all completely forgettable, and about the best thing I can say about it is that there are a few tepid scares here and there.
Don't waste your time with this one, at least not until you've seen some of the truly great horror that's been coming out recently, like The Babadook (2014) and It Follows (2014).
