We Are Still Here Page #3

Synopsis: After their teenage son is killed in a car crash, Paul (Andrew Sensenig) and Anne (Barbara Crampton) move to the quiet New York countryside to try to start a new life for themselves. But the grieving couple unknowingly becomes the prey of a family of vengeful spirits that reside in their new home, and before long they discover that the seemingly peaceful town they've moved into is hiding a terrifyingly dark secret. Now they must find a way to overcome their sorrow and fight back against both the living and dead as the malicious ghosts threaten to pull their souls - and the soul of their lost son - into hell with them.

Yeah, I'll smoke outside.

Sorry I took so long.

I was feeling the most

unreal energy in the hall.

Yeah, no,

it's total unreal, right?

Are you comfortable?

Yeah.

There is a real power

in this house.

It's a heavy power.

Something that was born

out of decades of secrets.

There is a darkness here.

Yeah.

I mean, it's here.

I don't feel Bobby here.

It's something that wants

you to believe it's Bobby.

What?

What does that mean?

This house has an

energy all its own.

So are we going to have

a sance or something?

No, no.

- I means, that depends on...

- Depends on what?

You said you knew

how to contact him.

Annie brought you up here to

find out what was in this house.

- Paul...

- No.

May, you can't give Annie

all this hope

and then not deliver

on anything at all.

We don't need to find

the darkness here, Paul.

It's everywhere.

Hello?

Jacob?

Do you need something?

May?

No...

Hello?

No! No!

- May...

- No!

- May, May...

- There's so much death!

Annie.

Annie, wake up.

Annie!

Annie!

You're alright.

You're alright.

You're alright.

- You're okay.

- Bobby?

Did you hear that?

We had...

We had an encounter last night.

Yeah, I...

You what, Paul?

I saw something, too.

I don't know what I saw, I just

want to know what's going on.

Well, I heard Bobby.

I need some air.

Um, I have to go out

and get some groceries.

You should come along.

The boys can stay here.

A little male-bonding

might do them good.

You guys think you

can handle that?

Yeah.

What do you think

we're going to do, baby?

Start conducting a sance

the second you leave?

Go on.

Go on.

Here are the keys,

if you want to drive.

I'll drive.

Not my car, she won't.

Don't worry.

We can take May's car.

Back in an hour.

I love you.

No-no-no.

Can we take your car?

Jake?

Yes, Paul?

What's going on, dude?

We are conducting a sance.

Excuse me?

You should've seen May

last night, man.

She said she was

surrounded by death.

And I just heard no sance.

You think she'd

be okay with this?

Absolutely not,

which is why we're

going to do it right now.

Come on, man, sit.

It felt like the weight

of the world,

just crushing my soul.

God...

There's something in that

house that feels infernal,

something that I've

never felt before.

What does that mean exactly?

Something's not right

in that house.

Is that so?

- Hi, Dave.

- Hi, Annie.

And who is this

lovely young lady?

This is my friend, May.

She and her husband are visiting

with us for the weekend.

How nice.

Well, it's an honest-to-God

pleasure, Miss May.

How's Cat doing?

She's fine, just fine.

Check-up with the doctor.

And you're...

Just wandering the streets

and eavesdropping on

lovely young ladies.

Miss May, did I hear you

correctly saying there's...

something not quite right

with Annie's house?

I'd be surprised

if there wasn't,

I mean, with that kind of past.

That house probably

has more demons

than the Book of Revelations.

Is it true

what happened up there?

Running the Dagmars out of town?

t's true.

Hand to the Lord.

Because I saw a family

there last night.

You did?

May has... abilities.

Well, I'd say she

certainly does.

We need to get back, Annie.

- I'm sorry, Dave.

- No, it's fine.

- Bye.

- Goodbye, Annie.

Bye, Miss May.

So, I'm just going to read

a few lines here

and see if we can connect to

whatever is in the house, okay?

So, you just sit there and um,

maybe close your eyes

and just try to believe

what we're doing is real.

It's just so helpful

if you're in a zone.

We are addressing

any spirits here.

This house belongs

to the living.

Their names are Paul and Anne,

and they have a connection

to your world.

Their son Bobby is with you.

And if it's Bobby's spirit

that we have felt,

please, give us a sign.

This house welcomes his spirit

and asks him to join us.

And with love and compassion,

we will help him

cross to the next realm...

and peel...

the skin...

off...

his...

bones.

What did you say?

It's a...

it's a welcoming.

We try to connect to

the... to the spirit

by asking them into our circle.

And so, you know,

I'm asking my son to join us.

My son.

Bobby.

My son.

Yeah.

Sorry. Sorry.

I mean, it's a sacred blessing

to those we hold dear,

and so we ask Bobby to...

rot...

like...

wasted... meat.

This is bullshit.

I'm done.

- It's not Bobby.

- What?

It's not Bobby!

Your boy is dead.

He's in the cellar.

He and his little whore.

They're downstairs burning.

The both of them.

Burning like my whole family.

Burning until the stars go dark.

F***! Paul!

Paul!

- Paul, tie me up, man!

- Are you nuts?!

Get a rope or something, man!

Hurry up, man!

Tie me up!

What is it?

That Dave?

He seems a little off.

He's just a harmless old man.

I still don't see Harry's car.

May, don't worry about it.

I'm sure they'll be here soon.

I don't want them

coming up here.

None of us should

be staying here, Annie.

May...

Help!

Help!

It's Jacob.

May, I believe it, all of it.

Help!

Jacob?

What's going on?

Jacob, he lit some candles

and he started digging up

some weird...

I don't know, auras or

something after you left...

Auras?!

Whatever the f***

they're called, May!

Look at him!

Why, he's right!

Dug up some devils

while you were out.

What happened?

This town is what happened.

This is my house.

He's...

Dagmar.

What do we do?

What?

I told you to leave.

It's Dagmar!

He's real!

Dagmar...

isn't what you need

to be worried about...

F*** you!

- Liar!

- May!

He's not dead!

He's dead.

He and that little harlot he

brought into my happy home.

My son's not dead!

May.

No!

Jacob?

Talk to him, May!

He's got to be in there!

This is my house.

You should have known better.

Jacob, baby, are you in there?

You've got to listen

to my voice.

I need you to concentrate.

Think about me.

Think about us.

Sh*t.

After what you did to

the people of this town?

What?!

After what I did?!

You're going to listen

to that old bastard?!

We were good people!

This town murdered my family!

They sacrificed them

to the gods they dug up

when they built this place!

Nobody knew what was under this

house until it was too late.

Jacob!

You've got to listen

to my voice!

They opened something awful

and it needed a family.

I love you.

Please, fight it.

This is my house.

No, no.

God.

Jacob! Jacob!

May, don't look at him!

We got to leave!

We got to go!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go!

Go!

Annie!

Open the door, Annie.

It'll all be over soon.

I'm not alone, Annie.

Open the door.

No!

Get upstairs!

Mom, please, go!

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

It was Bobby!

Come on, Annie, you were right.

- We got to keep moving.

- That was our son!

I know!

I heard him

and he told us to f***ing leave!

You see anything?

Nothing.

Go. Go.

It's not much...

They're upstairs!

Get the f*** off of me!

Go!

Go, go, go.

Lem!

Is there any other way upstairs?

I...
