Initially I very much liked the premise of 'We Go On'. We have all wondered at some point whether or not there is an afterlife and would love nothing more than proof one way or the other. A film about a character seeking out this information has a lot of potential. Sadly, I don't think 'We Go On' quite managed to live up to that potential.
The most interesting segment of the film is when characters are trying to fake proof of the afterlife. This was the only time the film really used any innovation and originality. As soon as it actually becomes a ghost story it all becomes a bit run of the mill and by the book.
I can't say the film is particularly scary either. It's not your typical horror film in a lot of ways, but it still feels like there was room to create an unsettling and scary atmosphere. It never achieves this. Also it tries to have a miniature twist ending of sorts, but doesn't pull that off too well either. 'We Go On' is far from unwatchable, but it's also very far from being anything memorable.
