- 80Village VoiceRob StaegerVillage VoiceRob StaegerEarly scenes overplay the shock of these phantasms, but just as you expect Geoghegan to crank up the effects, the film mixes in some subtler scares.
- 75The A.V. ClubThe A.V. ClubThe new chiller We Are Still Here is the latest iteration of people unwittingly stumbling upon an ancient menace, and it succeeds more than it fails, thanks largely to the nice work of first-time director Ted Geoghegan.
- 75RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyRogerEbert.comGlenn KennyOnce the viewer finds him or herself comfortable with the idea that it’s going for mildly-spine-tingling rather than gut-punching and eyeball-violating, all holy hell breaks loose. Which in this case turns out to be a pretty hellishly good thing.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckHas its pacing problems, and the special effects are strictly of the cheesy variety, but it provides enough genuine scares to make it thoroughly enjoyable, especially if seen at a drive-in on a hot summer night.
- 60Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleOnce We Are Still Here unsticks itself from hommage mode, it finds something cathartically funny inside the fearsome.
- We Are Still Here will make you scream and make you laugh, and possibly leave you speechlessly gesticulating at a charred zombielike ghost in the background. But the peak moments are too few.
