We Go On (2016) Reviews

• Thoroughly well-executed small-budget horror

  scandinavianmail2017-05-20

  Seeing this with very low expectations, I was first waiting it to fall on its face but soon realised the writing, acting and direction was all sure-footed and I'd even say innovative. On the outset, Annette O'Toole and Clark Freeman make an unlikely mother-son couple but they sold their roles and even made me emotional at times. The budget is indeed tiny, but it didn't take anything away from the solid creepiness. Build-up was executed well, and the story moved nicely from almost comedy to genuine scares. Even at the end this little horror surprise stood its ground and avoided the usual sour taste that most films in its genre leave behind.

• Independent Gem!

  What makes this movie so great is that it's not big budget, it's small, independent and you can tell loved by all involved. It's also not a bad movie! It's original, the actors are great. The story is entertaining. It's way worth watching and right now it's free on Amazon Prime. Which is hard to believe in itself if you're familiar with Amazon Prime movies! I loved this little horror gem. It's not blood and torture horror I should say, there are a lot of people out there who consider horror genre to be movies that horrify you and make you want to kill yourself or never leave your house again. No, this is a more a thinker piece , a ghost story but a modern ghost story that isn't that far fetched or unbelievable. It's fun. It's not going to scare you at all, but it will make you forget your breakup for an hour or so. So sit back and watch a good movie for free and support your local art scene. Enjoy!

• Be Careful with the Door you Open

  claudio_carvalho2017-04-28

  In Los Angeles, the video editor Miles Grisson (Clark Freeman) is a man with many phobias inclusive he does not drive. When Miles has several nightmares with his death, he decides to offer a $ 30,000 reward for anyone that proves the existence of a ghost, or demon, or angel and consequently the afterlife. His protective mother Charlotte Grisson (Annette O'Toole) reads the news and comes to his apartment. Miles receives more than one thousand correspondences and together with his mother, they analyze the responses and they end with three candidates. The first one is Dr. Ellison (John Glover) but Charlotte finds that he is a fraud. The second one is the medium Josephina (Giovanna Zacarías) that tells that Bill asked him to stop his search. However Charlotte again tells that Josephine is a fraud. The third one is an entrepreneur but Miles finds that he is a con-man. When Miles receives a mysterious phone call from a man called Nelson (Jay Dunn), he schedules an encounter with him in a park near the airport. Soon he learns that there are doors that should never be opened. "We Go on" is an intriguing and original ghost story. The screenplay is well-written with many plot points and the cast is excellent, with great performances of the veteran Annete O'Toole and Clark Freeman. The supernatural story is interesting and the encounter of Nelson and Miles is the scariest moment of this good film. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): Not Available

• What a great script!

  paradux2017-06-10

  Let's start by telling the truth, which can be a rarity these days. Horror as a genre is not a popular as it once was. The psychologists and sociologists have an explanation for this. First, the avalanche of social media and e-news has created a culture where it is hip and cool to be unafraid. This is the "whatever!" generation. Secondly, horror has always been a mechanism for us to vicariously experience something we do not get in real life. Problem is, the modern world is so crazy, now we are getting all the horror we can handle without having to pay for a movie ticket. So, the entire horror niche has become an inbred community that generally makes weak product for the other members of the community to rave about. This is a rare exception. One of the best scripts ... ever. Deft direction, and great performances. The clever, unusual, story grabs you off the top and builds and builds. Highly recommended.

  Seriously, this movie is good. And I mean damn good. I can barely say anything without spoiling it but really give it a go, you wont regret it. The story is very original, the plot is intriguing and the movie is full of surprises. I can honestly say that I was positively surprised by this movie. Great writing, acting and effects.
