Rav1122 Really this move had a lot going for it in the first 15 or so minutes. Lots of time taken into filming the environment, great shots of the house and the surroundings, and great job with the sound design (lots of creepy/groaning adding to the house) really made it feel like a house that would creep you out. But the second the dialogue starts it just slowly starts going down hill. I understand not wanting to reveal too much too soon, keep the audience intrigued and guessing, but when it is so drawn out like this it really gets me bored and uninterested. I hated the acting by their older neighbor (the guy that ends up trying to kill them in the end) and the woman with the deflated lips. Poor casting for half of the people in this movie. The guy that gets possessed does a stellar job though, that was one of the saving graces of the film. The scene where he gets possessed is great. I did think the whole "this house demands a sacrifice!" thing was pretty lame. So, was the house haunted by the evil family, or was there a different evil in the house already? You can't have it both ways, if the Dagmar family was sacrificed to the house then it is the house that has the evil within it, or was the family themselves so evil that after they died they continued to haunt the house? And how do the townspeople know that every 30 years it demands a sacrifice? Theres just too many plot holes that make it seem like the concept and script was rushed through.Also the ending is a bit confusing. Why did the evil Dagmar ghosts not kill the couple? And somehow they end up seeing their son at the end? Is their son working with the evil family? Non of it makes sense but the overall movie wasn't too bad. Its somewhat entertaining but definitely not a movie you want to re watch.

sdlsuperpixie This was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting was horrible and the story line was stupid and then confusing mixed with horrible acting. I was drunk when I watched this and all the alcohol still didn't make it better. I can't believe all the reviews of the people saying anything above 4 stars. Absolutely horrible movie. I wish I had that hour and a half of my life back. I really do. This movie was not scary at all.

Wizard-8 I decided to give this movie a chance after finding it in my local library's DVD collection. Sometimes I find hidden gems this way, but this time that was not the result. It's a somewhat slow moving exercise that feels quite stretched out, despite the running time being just eighty three minutes long. The filmmakers might have fixed that problem had they simply taken the time to answer a lot of questions that come up but are simply not answered. The direction is a little better than the script. You do feel the cold and isolation of the setting, and there is often a mildly creepy feeling. And patient gorehounds will be rewarded with some striking splatter in the movie's last half hour. However, I am at a loss as to why the movie was set in the 1970s. Though the period detail is acceptable, I would have preferred that the filmmakers taken the time and money devoted to recreating decades past to punch up the story instead. While the movie is not aggressively bad, it all the same feels half- hearted and unfinished, so I think most viewers will feel unsatisfied.

jadavix "We Are Still Here" is a tedious, disjointed horror movie, notable only for its inability - refusal, almost - to generate any fear or tension. It's one of those movies that feels like you are watching it over someone else's shoulder, or perhaps it's being shown on TV in a department store, and you can only see it through the window.The plot is not entirely hackneyed. Sure, we've seen haunted house things before, and the introduction of characters who are versed in the occult has a discouraging smack of "Paranormal Activity" about it. Where it showed promise was the idea that the house itself demands sacrifice from whoever stays there, and the townsfolk know about it.Cue the obligatory scene where the good guys go out to dinner in a pub where everyone stops talking and eyes them suspiciously. You see, all the interesting twist on the haunted house premise allowed the movie to do was throw in another clichéd scene for the price of one.The climax, when it comes, is just violence for the sake of it, that I guess we are supposed to be shocked by. Is it even possible for movie violence to shock us anymore? This is a world where "torture porn" has been a lucrative genre for well over a decade.Violence as a climax is just a lame cop out, the filmmakers admitting they're incapable of thrills and they know it, so here, have some blood and guts instead.A completely forgettable ending to a forgettable movie.
