Did Jacob remind anyone else of Jack Nickolson from the Shining?

Man I enjoyed the hell out of this movie! 4.5/5.0 for me in the realm of horror films.

may be one of my favorite blind buys.

I didn't see it at my Target, nor do I see it at RedBox or OnDemand.
How can I check this out?

Saw it at Best Buy. There's also Amazon or maybe even FYE or Barnes and Noble.

I'm a little torn on blind buying, even though it's mad cheap at $9.99

VOD, such as Vudu, Amazon, iTunes, Sony

Yup my girlfriend and I said same. I have to think that's what they were going for

Just watched it after buying it for $10 at Best Buy.

Easily the best horror movie i've seen since The Babadook and It Follows.

I was much, much more impressed with it than I was with "The VVitch" and your average Ti West meanderfest, plus Barbara Crampton has aged much better than her fellow Re-Animator co-star Jeffrey Combs (who looked shockingly old in his guest appearance on season 1 of "Gotham").

Just purchased this tonight at BB, look forward to watching it.

Anyone know if this is region locked?

Had forgotten about wanting to see this. Finally got around to it. It was ok. I don't think it was as good or creative as It Follows or The Babadook (I'm only bringing those two up because "We Are Still Here" was brought up in the other respective threads). It had a nifty Creepshow feel to it, and that was nice. But I don't feel the need to own or watch this again, like I do with It Follows or The Babadook.

I own this and I thought it was pretty good the first time I saw it but some of the acting was problematic but when I watched it again this October I liked it less than I remembered which rarely happens with me.

For me The Babadook bored the crap out of me. For all the hype I thought it was overated and I didn't care what happened the characters. It Follows I enjoyed and still have.

As for We Are Still Here I tried not to like it but there is something about it that keeps me intrigued. It to me has a great feel...totally nailed that small town in the middle of nowhere(tons of them up in upper New York State) that just feels dead in the winter. There is some loose plot points I question but It's a keeper for me.

There was a ton of copies at my local FYE today for $4.97 brand new. You probably have the same at yours FYI. This one slipped past me somehow but I'm glad to finally be hip. Bought it on a blind buy. Looks good.

More than halfway through this and I'm struggling to figure out how on earth this has a 95% rating on RT. Mediocre acting, odd editing, low quality special effects, and cheap jump scares so far. Also, this movie doesn't know what decade it wants to be set in. Supposedly it's 1979, but it feels very modern day in many respects. I'll just keep watching, and waiting for it to get better.

Yeah, I found there to be too much hype around this one. Always nice to see Lisa Marie though.

Finished it, and yeah it's awful. It managed to get even worse in the last act. I can only assume they had some dirt on every critic who gave this a positive rating on RT, there's just no logical explanation for its score. Now I need to watch a classic horror film to wipe the bad taste if this out of my mouth.

Absolutely, I kept thinking that when he first showed up. Both his look, and mannerisms. Not sure if that was intentional.

You should watch House by the Cemetery. It is the Fulci movie that the makers of We Are Still Here were supposedly inspired by.

Will do. Speaking of Fulci, I watched The Black Cat a couple days ago, and I think that might be the first movie I've seen from him, not sure. I enjoyed it for the most part, though it's a bit too silly at times.
