2) We Are Still Here
Not everyone will enjoy We Are Still Here. It’s another one of those slow-burn efforts where either you have the patience, or you shut it off halfway through. I understand that. But it’s on my list, so I think you know where I stand on this New England-set nightmare.
Patience is surely a virtue, and its reward is a violent, absolutely no-holds-barred finale from the bloody bowels of Hell. The ending hits like explosive satanic diarrhea blown from the asshole of Satan, and I mean that as a compliment. Honest!
Everything about We Are Still Here is calculated. Evil is introduced early on, and it’s never hidden. We know something sinister is about to go down, but we never know when. Filmmaker Ted Geoghegan lets horrific elements trickle out in small doses, but they’re still effective, priming us for bigger attacks that occur later on. It lingers intently and keeps us hooked – then knocks us dead with a closing haymaker.
Satanic diarrhea blown from the asshole of Satan – how is that NOTÂ a pull quote?
