tonight's feature: We Are Still Here (2015) on Prime
Put on your gore pants because We Are Still Here is 110% more blood spurty than it needed to be, but more fun than a barrel of charred angry spirits.
It's 1979 and Anne and Paul Sacchetti move out to the sticks to help grieve their son Bobby, who died in a crash. Anne thinks all the weird thumping sounds, falling objects and paranormal weirdness is Bobby still trying to hang around, but things are much much worse than that. Some freaky weird neighbors drop by to say hello and just casually mention the house used to be a funeral home and the previous owners, the Dagmar family, were run out of town for selling bodies and burying empty caskets. But not just that, a little handwritten warning to GET OUT and an even darker backstory. Pretty solid setup, but after the hippy spiritualist friends come over for a seance things go from generally bizarre to blood squirting, murdering gruesome.
We Are Still Here is a damn fine Halloween season freakshow, even if it leaves you hanging a bit at the end. 8.5 death stares in the only local restaurant in town out of 10.
