One Remains

This film was beautifully shot and directed, a suspense filled scary little indie film with stand out actors. Amazing what you can do on a low budget with skilled cast cast and crew, well done!

All I knew about this 2019 movie from director Josh Hodgins was that it was a horror movie, which is essentially enough needed to get my attention. And since I hadn't already seen it, of course I took the time to sit down and watch it.

Now, the movie should have been titled "None Remains" because this is how I feel the movie will do to you; you just get up and turn it off. I managed to endure 47 minutes of pure torture before I had enough, caved in and gave up. Nothing of any worth or interest happened in these very, very long 47 minutes. And I can't really claim to have had any interest in the characters either.

Everything in those abysmal 47 minutes was just pointless and bland.

The storyline and plot in "One Remains" was lacking. I seriously have no idea what writers Nancy Criss, Josh Hodgins, Vanessa Leigh and Laura Megan Stahl were trying to accomplish with "One Remains". But pretty impressive that not one, but four, writers manage to produce something this unappealing. That is quite an accomplishment in itself.

As for the acting, well I didn't recognize anyone on the cast list, which is always a plus for me. I am sure that the actors and actresses were doing good enough jobs to the extend of their abilities, but they virtually had nothing - and I seriously mean that - to work with in terms of script, plot and storyline.

I am rating "One Remains" a generous two out of ten stars solely because the movie did seem to have adequate production value at least.

If you enjoy a good horror movie, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "One Remains". It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

You have to add a lesbian sex scene to keep the 15 year old boys without the internet or too stupid to turn off a parental lock, to keep them watching. This was cool and edgy in before 2009, now it's just fluff.

I have no clue how these movies get financed. Just to show how lame, it's supposed to be a storm, you here the rain, but none is coming down. Nothing truly happens in this movie, watch at your own risk..

If the acting and script were better, the movie would probably have been something worth watching. I kept watching hoping that there would be developments in the story but it felt like there was nothing worthwhile that came from this terrible film.
