===[http://www.mpaa.org/film-ratings/ MPAA Ratings]===

* Rated: not rated (equivalent to 'PG-13' or 'R' for Violence, some Profanity, and mild Adult Content)

===Tentacle Ratings===

A rough [[Tentacle Ratings|measure]] of how "Lovecraftian" the work is:
* SS___ (Two Tentacles: Barely Lovecraftian; vaguely similar in tone, could be a very loose adaptation)

Set in Lovecraft Country and somehow involves off-screen "dark gods" in the basement served by smoky and reasonably creepy [[Deadite]]s; it also stars [[Barbara Crampton]], who appeared in a number of other low-budget Lovecraftian movies.

''Note: This rating is not intended as a measure of quality, merely of
how closely related to Lovecraftian "Weird" fiction the work is.''

===Reviews===

Review Links:
* [[YWhateley|Y.Whateley]] - "Not at all a good movie, but it is set in Lovecraft Country and somehow involves off-screen "dark gods" in the basement served by smoky and reasonably creepy deadites; it also stars poor [[Barbara Crampton]], who appeared in a number of other, often marginally better, low-budget Lovecraftian movies."

==Synopsis (SPOILERS)==

{{spoiler|After their teenage son is killed in a car crash, Paul and Anne move to the quiet New York countryside to try to start a new life for themselves. But the grieving couple unknowingly becomes the prey of a family of vengeful spirits that reside in their new home, and before long they discover that the seemingly peaceful town they've moved into is hiding a terrifyingly dark secret. Now they must find a way to overcome their sorrow and fight back against both the living and dead as the malicious ghosts threaten to pull their souls - and the soul of their lost son - into hell with them}}

==Notes==

===Comments, Trivia, Dedication===

* Numerous characters in this film are named after characters or people associated with the [[Lucio Fulci]] film ''[[The House by the Cemetery (1981)]]'', which this film was inspired by. The scene where the townie woman/bartender is stabbed in the neck by Barbara Crampton and blood sprays all over the white tarp is a nod to [[Dario Argento]]'s ''[[Tenebrae (1982 film)]]'', where a woman has her arm severed and blood sprays all over the white wall. Throughout the film the characters frequently drink "B&J" Whiskey, an homage to "J&B Scotch", a real life brand of alcohol that was often seen in Italian horror and exploitation films during the 1970s and early 1980s - even the labels look very similar.

===Associated Mythos Elements===

* film: compare to ''[[The House by the Cemetery (1981)]]'', an inspiration for this film
* location: [[Aylesbury]]
* race: [[Deadite]]s
* deity: "[[Kandarian Demon|The Darkness]]", a shadowy entity living under the earth that emerges every 30 years to demand human sacrifice by fire

===Keeper Notes===

* The investigators become entangled in a small-town secret when they trace a series of missing families back to a house built over a door to the [[Other Side]] and a town full of cultists who sacrifice families to the [[Kandarian Demon]] that returns every 30 years for sacrifice....

		+	* Brett Gallman at ([http://www.oh-the-horror.com/page.php?id=1736 Oh The Horror!]) - "...A worthy successor to the likes of Fulci and his ilk. Its morbid mythology, outlandish gore, and vintage 70s digs leave little doubts about its influences and make for a familiar blend...."
		+	* Nicole Gallo at ([http://archoncinemareviews.com/we-are-still-here-movie-review/ Archon Cinema Reviews]) - "...Uses the 1970’s ambiance to conjure up recollections of possession films of that time period. While the tone is right and the scares are gruesome, the back-story and build-up to terror has gaping holes related to consistency...."
		+	* Richard Scheib at ([http://moria.co.nz/horror/we-are-still-here-2015.htm The Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Film Review]) - (3/5 Stars) "...Ted Geoghegan builds atmosphere well and gets a number of strong jumps off with the appearance of the strange shadowy figures throughout the house and the hinting of sinister events that happened in the past... [before] the film reaches an admirably gore-drenched climax...."
