‘We Are Still Here’ Just in Time for Halloween
The haunting directorial debut from Ted Geoghegan that frightened audiences at SXSW ’15 and even had our very own Patrick Cooper label it a “masterfully crafted slow creeper” will be making it’s way to home video around the world just in time for Halloween. With an American Blu-ray and DVD release already announced from Dark Sky Films for October 9th, Accent Film Entertainment has announced the Australian release for October 21. Since virtually all the world is Region A or Region B, everyone will have a chance to grab this in time for some Halloween viewing.
Synopsis:
This House needs a family. After their teenage son is killed in a car crash, Paul and Anne move to the quiet New Englang countryside to try to start a new life for themselves. But the grieving couple unknowingly become the prey of a family of vengeful spirits that reside in their new home, and before long they discover that the seemingly peaceful town is hiding a terrifyingly dark secret. Now they must find a way to pull their souls – and the soul of their lost son – into hell with them. We Are Still Here is a tense, frightening and thoroughly haunting modern ghost story.
Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
