The Remains wants to be a James-Wan-inspired haunted house flick, but can't even outshine the short film it's based on. Go to Full Review

Too many frequent loud noises and overpowering background music come across as distracting -- not scary. Go to Full Review

Katie W Jul 5 I thought the start was pretty good, a fair introduction and not bad acting for a "scary" film. Last 10-15 mins let it down, poorer effects and a fairly standard storyline with no real end to the film. Basically just started the same thing again. Would have been good to have more paranormal/demonic happenings too. Not bad but I wouldn't watch it again. See more 12/27/2022 Listen, it was halloween and we just wanted a little indie horror movie. It was awful. Nothing was good. Nothing. See more 02/04/2021 Strange but serviceable cast selection. Starts well but falls far short. See more 10/19/2020 Don't waste your time with this movie. Every single "scary" part of this movie can be found in the trailer. This movie has about 5 minutes of "horror." The rest of the movie is horribly boring and just just drags on and on. However, I will say, the last 10ish minutes of this movie are so hilariously bad and I loved every second of it. See more 07/16/2020 This is very much your stereotypical haunted house film done badly. It tries to be a mix of Poltergeist, Sinister and The Haunting in Connecticut but missed the ball park completely. The acting is strained/forced, the characters have no depth, all of them are stereotypes and theres only a vague understanding of whats happening. You can see what theyre going for but they simply dont manage it. See more 06/26/2020 Is it even possible to give a movie less than half a star? Cause that just how bad this movie is. From the beginning til the very end, all the jump scare scenes didn't even flinch me once and you could see that coming from a miles away. The story line in this movie are your typical haunted house bs, nothing unique about it and there are no plot twist whatsoever. I mean I wish there are something nice I could say about this movie but the truth is that I only watched this movie all the way through because I wanted to see if the ending was gonna turn out as bad as I imagined. I was right all along. Tbh I would rather watch Paint dry than rewatch this movie ever again. See more Read all reviews
