We Go On

2016 ·1h 29m · ★ 5.9 (164)

Paralyzed by his fear of dying, Miles Grissom takes out an advert offering $30,000 in reward money to the first person who can show him evidence of an angel, a demon, or prove that ghosts exist - anything to prove to him that we go on after our deaths. He narrows the responses down to three viable candidates - a scientist, a medium, and a worldly entrepreneur. Along with his protective mother, he embarks on an adventure through Los Angeles that will spiral into an unthinkable nightmare.

Why it matters

A slow-burning psychological horror that probes the terror of mortality with eerie atmosphere and unsettling ambiguity.

  • Anchored by a gripping lead performance wrestling with existential dread — fear of death as the ultimate horror.
  • Foregoes jump scares for creeping unease and a moody, Los Angeles-set ghost story that feels quiet but persistent.
  • For fans of meditative, character-driven horror that leans into dread rather than gore or spectacle.
  • Some narrative missteps and pacing issues, but the film’s core questions about afterlife and loss linger long after the credits.
