The Remains

The movie starts out interesting and it does pull you in. But as far as jumps and hair-raising...eh. It's the usual family finds a house way cheaper than it should be...(Haunted house red flag...) and moves in. Strange things begin to happen and they try to explain it away when anyone else...me included...would be sent screaming into the streets, clothed or not. The acting is not terrible and the jumps in the film keeps you hanging on hoping for that happy ending you know will never happen. This IS a horror movie, people. It's very rare. All in all not a complete waste of time and me and my wife were actually surprised by the 3.7 rating it received on IMDb. Didn't think it was quite that bad, but the people have spoken. Until the next bad movie.

God this movie was AWFUL!!!!

I created an account just to warn people not to spend money or time on this pile of crap!

Not a good movie at all.... TERRIBLE ACTING and overacting 🙄

If you like spoiled, bratty kids that curse, slutty teenage daughter, oblivious mourning father who's an idiot who's never heard of Google who purchases a house no questions asked then this is the movie for you...

I've always wondered during the process of shooting a movie if anyone ever says "wow this movie is really crappy, this acting is really crappy, what's the point of this movie"

The first thing you notice is the film looks cheap, the special effects are shoddy, some of the costumes look like people dressed up for Halloween, and it's a story that's been done to death. Despite the negatives it's watchable enough.

Todd Lowe is rather good as the central character, the tormented father, not unlike a young Kenneth Brannagh.

Some decent scares, although just as the film starts to get into its groove, it comes to an end.

I wouldn't watch it again, but it was a decent watch.

There was some over-acting from the medium at the start. Other than that, I was mainly glad to see that the children could act, and did a pretty good job of it. Child-actors who are not just skilled enough to create the suspension of disbelief, but also are interesting to watch must be either difficult to find, or too expensive for most film-makers' budgets.

Apart from that the movie built up, built up, and then... poof. It was over, without a creative surprise or unusual twist- anywhere. Summary: some creepy things happened, it got more tense with the creepy things building up, we are waiting for the big blowout which was more of a predictable letdown, and then it was over (except for me sitting there swearing about what a crappy movie I'd just watched).

I recommend the viewers out there skip this one. Read a book, wash your dog, rearrange the sweaters in your closet by colour. I wish someone had told me the same.

This movie was so bad I felt the need to create a profile to review it.

The acting all around is terrible. The premise of the movie seems legit, but the actual script and delivery is way off.

It's hard to feel for this family when every one in it is an asshole. I hated the little girl just minutes into the movie and slowly grew to dislike the whole family. The older daughter is the typical angsty bitch, the son is obnoxious, and the younger daughter has resting bitch face and an attitude to match. The father is a stoic blob in each scene. If you can't like the characters, how can you like the movie? There is literally nothing in this movie that compels me to watch. I kind of felt like the subsequent haunting of this family is karma.

I couldn't finish this disaster. I normally love under rated B movies, but I couldn't find one redeeming thing about this one. Do yourself a favor, skip this one.
