Harvey Fierstein must have just been happy to be in a blockbuster. The defining moment of his presumably Jewish, gay character is when in the middle of the alien invasion he has a small neurotic fit and needs to call his mother.

We Are Still Here is a really fun indie entry in the creepy old haunted house genre.

I don't mean to oversell it because it can certainly dabble in clichés at times. But it's a really tremendous combination of haunted house fun, appropriately executed jump scares, and gore. And like seemingly every indie horror movie these days, it embraces the late 70s/early 80s aesthetic (which is enjoyable, even though it's growing a bit tiresome). Glenn Kenny- one of my favorite critics- described it as something you wish you could take back in time and show at a 42nd St. grindhouse theater and I'd say that's dead-on.

I saw Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter last night, which was very good and went a lot of places I didn't expect it to go (and plenty that I did expect it to go, with healthy tips of the cap to the Coens).
