A tense and chilling ghost story from the producers of The House of the Devil and Cheap Thrills. Starring “scream queen” Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator), it tells the story of a grieving couple that discovers vengeful spirits in their new home. A horror in the tradition of Italian auteurs such as Lucio Fulci, it was one of the breakout hits of this year’s FrightFest.

After the death of their college age son, Anne (“Scream Queen” Barbara Crampton: Re-Animator, You’re Next) and Paul Sacchetti (Andrew Sensenig) relocate to the snow-swept New England hamlet of Aylesbury, a sleepy village where all is most certainly not as it seems.

When strange sounds and eerie feelings convince Anne that her son’s spirit is still with them, they invite an eccentric, New Age couple (Larry Fessenden: I Sell the Dead and Lisa Marie: Mars Attacks!) to help them get to the bottom of the mystery. They discover that not only are the house’s first residents, the vengeful Dagmar family, still there – but so is an ancient power. A primal darkness slumbers under the old home, waking up every thirty years and demanding the fresh blood of a new family.

It’s rare when a ghost story comes along that gives you genuine chills, but that’s exactly what made We Are Still Here such a hit with horror fans when it was screened at FrightFest.

Though it follows on from such recent haunted house movies as The Innkeepers and The Woman In Black, it takes its cues from the tradition of Italianate filmmakers Lucio Fulci and Pupi Avati, giving We Are Still Here a real retro approach to horror.

Director Ted Geoghegan does a masterful job in delivering nerve-jangling tension, a spooky atmosphere, and big jump-out-of-your-seat scares – and there’s a wicked sense of humour beneath the haunted house hi-jinks.
Horror favourite Barabara Crampton is also fantastic in the lead role, bringing an all-important melancholy that makes We Are Still Here as much about the characters as the scares.

One of this year’s must-see horrors!
