Once "We Are Still Here" unsticks itself from hommage mode, it finds something cathartically funny inside the fearsome.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
"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 ...
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.
Geoghegan's directorial debut has enough decent scares to push it past pastiche.
The haunted house genre has been done to death (pardon the pun) but this one has some genuine chills. The plotting is aggressive.
