Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

bowmanblue There are a lot of negative reviews about Remains and, to be honest, I couldn't see why. I'm not going to say that Remains is a 'must see classic.' It's not. It's effectively another zombie film among a seemingly endless stream of similar undead movies.If you've seen a zombie film before (and with today's amount, you probably have), you'll expect plenty of biting, plenty of headshots and plenty of boarding up buildings. Remains has all that. And not all that much more. Perhaps that's its problem. It's a decent enough film, but offers absolutely nothing you haven't seen a hundred times before in the genre.Remains is most similar to the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake in terms of style and content. A bunch of people barricade themselves in a casino during an undead outbreak. There, they contemplate whether to sit it out, or make a break for it. Remains seems to flit between black comedy and a straight horror film. It never stays in one genre for too long. Perhaps the most amusing thing that Remains brings to the story is that zombies actually fall asleep! I've never seen that one before! If Remains was released ten or twenty years ago, it would probably have been hailed as 'ground-breaking' and a 'classic.' However, it's major fault is that it brings nothing new to the genre. If you desperately feel like sitting through yet another zombie movie then you might want to give this a go. But, remember, it's nothing you haven't seen before.

loomis78-815-989034 The Government decides to rid the world of nuclear weapons and the accident that follows turns most of the earth's population into zombies. Fortunately Tom (Bowler) was busy doing Tori (Marie) in the Reno Nevada Casino's storage locker and survives with Tori. They find a few more survivors and begin their movie long struggle to survive, barricading themselves in the casino. From the graphic novel by Steve Niles, Remains adds a few new twists to the zombie genre. The casino setting is fun and the fact that the zombies will go through a sleep period when the living can move among them. However this is still everything you've seen before. The zombies move fast and the characters engage in many moments where their inability to get along may result in their deaths. Grant Bowler as Tom makes a decent hero and the movie is certainly watchable. Director Colin Theys manages a few jump scares and some gore but the only true tension comes from the scene where the characters walk through the sleeping zombies. If you're looking for mindless zombie action you could do a lot worse than this.

TheLittleSongbird I have definitely seen worse movies but given its premise Remains should've been much better. It gets brownie points for its idea, a good music score and Grant Bowler's likable lead performance. Unfortunately that's it for the good points. Remains is very poor technically, with slapdash special effects and choppy editing. The make-up also makes the zombies look goofy rather than menacing. The story had potential but doesn't come anywhere close to living up to it. It isn't dull pacing-wise as such, but the whole thing doesn't flow, there isn't much of a focus and the sense of suspense and horror just aren't there. The dialogue is truly dire, always coming across as trite and hackneyed, and the direction goes through the motions but does nothing else. The characters are as interesting as a plank of wood, and with the exception of Bowler the acting especially from Evelanda Marie does nothing to elevate that. All in all, Remains has its moments but essentially it is limp and not recommended. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Woodyanders A freak accident turns the bulk of the world's population into lethal flesh-eating zombies. A small and desperate band of uninfected human survivors seek refuge in a vacant casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Meanwhile, the undead horde becomes smarter, stronger, and more aggressive with each passing day. Director Colin Theys, working from a compact script by John Doolan, relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, maintains a grimly serious tone throughout, delivers a handy helping of grisly gore, and builds a considerable amount of tension. Moreover, the flawed characters are drawn with a reasonable amount of depth and react to the dire situation they are thrust against their wills into with varying degrees of nobility. The solid acting by the capable cast rates as another major plus, with especially praiseworthy work by Grant Bowler as amiable alcoholic loser Tom, Evalena Marie as tough, sassy, and fiercely determined cowgirl barmaid Tori, Miko Hughes as sweet gay magician's assistant Jensen, Anthony Marks as selfish and cowardly hunk Victor, Tawny Cypress as the spunky Cindy, and Lance Reddick as rugged paramilitary group leader Ramsey. In addition, this movie does some neat tweaking of standard zombie horror conventions: The ghouls sleep standing up at night and resort to eating each other when they can't find any living people to munch on. Adrian Coreia's sharp cinematography gives the picture a nice slick look. The twangy and ominous score by Matthew Llewellyn and Sarah Schachner does the bone-rattling trick. A worthwhile fright feature.
