We Are Still Here

After the sudden death of their college age son, Anne and Paul Sacchetti seek a fresh start in the quiet, snow covered town of Aylesbury in rural New England. They expect comfort in a place that feels cloaked in stillness, but strange sounds and unsettling vibes soon hint that something is not right beneath the surface. Anne is convinced that her son remains nearby in some form, and her grief becomes a doorway for the house to speak. To uncover the truth they welcome an unusual New Age couple who promise guidance and mediation. What begins as a condolence project gradually reveals a long buried history and forces the couple to confront the town's chilling secrets about love and consequence.

Directed by Ted Geoghegan, We Are Still Here released in 2015 as a homage to classic haunted house films. The story is credited to Richard Griffin, with Geoghegan steering the screenplay and cast led by Barbara Crampton and Andrew Sensenig.

Box office data for the film is limited, reflecting a modest festival and limited release strategy. While it found appreciation from genre audiences, exact grosses were not heavily publicized, and the movie remains discussed more for its craft than receipts.

Over time the film has cultivated a devoted following among horror fans who praise its practical effects and throwback atmosphere. Barbara Crampton's return to the genre is often highlighted, with We Are Still Here cited as a feel of the golden era when atmosphere trumped flash in later horror films.

Critics broadly praised the film for its mood and performances, noting a restrained emotional core that guides the horror. The themes center on grief and memory, how communities keep secrets, and how a haunting can expose a town as much as a house. It blends sorrow with shocks and brutality.
