The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

We Are Still Here (2015)

Starring: Barbara Crampton, Lisa Marie, Larry Fessenden, Andrew Sensenig, Monte Markham
Director: Ted Geoghegan

Premise:
A couple move into a old, rural house in order to cope with their son's death. They soon realize something is in the house with them. The mother thinks it is the spirit of her son, but in reality it is much worse.

My Take:
A methodically paced movie which creates a fantastic atmosphere. The story is nicely disguised as a haunted house movie but really there's a lot more depth and misdirection as why the house is haunted. Fantastic performances too. It's great to see Barbara Crampton returning to horror the last couple of years. One of my favorite flicks of the year.

Rating: So Good

Watched: Netflix DVD
