The Remains (2016)

WORST WORST WORST so called 'horror' movie I have ever watched. Should have checked the rating before watching it. I wonder how did the director come out with the story line but the acting was just pure stupid. (Not like the acting sucks but the character that they had to act)I'm just here warning everyone not to watch this horrendous movie. Seriously it's just waste of your time.

The film opens up in 1891 Azusa, California with a seance gone bad. We never really got to find out what the real issues were or if the girl they were looking for was killed by her father, or what demon or ghost has entered the picture. We move to modern times and a new family moves into the house and find a chest in the attic...well you know the rest.On the plus side the characters were slightly better developed than a lot of the recent offerings. Victoria (Lisa Brenner) had that creepy Wednesday Addams high forehead look going for her, which worked quite well. However the story line wasn't developed. The connection of the ghost/possession was made simply through the items in the chest used at the failed seance...and? They could have made a better connection to the neighbor and Realtor. And what was with the moody teen daughter? Was she forbidden from dating? Why the sneaking around? Special effects include eye make-up and doors closing by themselves.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity...just tease.

normally i don't write review but i gave ratings, At first it was promising and catchy but after seeing all of it i am VERY DISAPPOINTED to this movie. IF i just known that was the ending, i shouldn't watched it, luckily i watch it before i recommended to my friends. i hope in future there is more into it NOT just the doing whole cycle with no end. I was waiting for them to survive and get more scary, i blinked many times like there is really missing as the other people saying that" the rest " of the characters doing nothing.I get bit mad about the eldest daughter just went out to bang another dude and chill in the house not knowing what's going on and it's pathetic. AWFUL MOVIE....

The 3.8 rating put me off, but after reading some of the reviews that said people were being too unkind about this movie I decided to give it a try. It starts in 1891 and instantly comes across as one of those old Italian horror movies that you would rather poke your eyes with a short stick than watch any more of, but after the first ten minutes the film comes back to the modern day and stays there.The acting is okay. The story isn't particularly original, in fact it reminds me of the first season of American Horror Story just not so good, though it's still watchable (depending on your individual standards of course). It has all the usual goings on you'd expect from a horror film, and I guess it's on a similar quality level to The Visit, but I preferred this one; maybe because I was really looking forward to The Visit and got seriously let down, whilst I had serious doubts about this one and it turned out to be not so bad as I feared.If you watch this with the 3.8 rating in mind then you might just get pleasantly surprised. It's by no means perfect, but it kept me watching until the end and that says something as I've rolled my eyes at plenty of films in the past and have switched them off, but I made it through this one with only a few heavy sighs and a stern look or two at God for letting the makers put some things into this movie's story-line. I've given this 5/10, but it may be around a (watchable) 4.5, really.
