Good Movie.......2007-03-18

I expected this movie to be a piece of crap by looking at the cover of it, but after some convincing by my fiance I finally agreed to watch it. This movie ended up being really good & I was quite surprised. I did go into this with low expectations so I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. If you are a fan of the horror genre then I think you will like this one.

Is this the Brokeback Mountain of Slasher flicks?.......2006-06-23

Not Bad Not Great. Ok lets start off with a group of good looking kids including a hotter then donut grease lesbian couple with my favorite buck toothed actress Estella Warren and some other girl with dreads. We also have the 2 studs that are petting each other and looking longly into each others eyes, not to worry though homophobes nothing happens at all between any one.
Witch to me is a missed opportunity with theses two young ladies, I mean damn this is a slasher flick and heck this is a new idea for the genre.
Now lets talk about the cover of the dvd witch has some pretty blond girl that does not seem to be in the movie. Look up Trespassing to see the original cover art.
Who is the dude with the red-eyes or what do's the bloody sickle have to do with this flick?
Not bad used for $3.00 bucks off Amazon with a great cast and a weak plot.

A Contender For "Greatest Unheralded Horror Of The Decade".......2005-11-10

"Evil Remains" is one of the most totally captivating, most intense, well-done, horrific and just plain Best movies to come out in what's been a great last few years for movies in general and horror movies in particular, so much so that it's hard to see how this one flew so far under the radar.

A group of young college students is heading up to do some research on an abandoned estate where violent murders took place some years ago. Sound familiar? Well, at First it is (but in a good way, reminiscent to me of the first time I saw the first "Friday The 13th" or the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre") but "Evil Remains" departs from the familiar trail before long. What we have is a movie that starts shifting and opening up questions as to the real nature of what's happening. Is this, indeed, "Friday The 13th" territory, or is it more along the lines of "The Amityville Horror" or even "The Blair Witch Project"? Is what's happening real? If it is, what is the nature of that reality? The characters don't know, don't have a lot of opportunity to find out, and the more cryptic it gets the better. "Evil Remains" presents multiple possibilities of what's happening and then keeps shifting the scales of probability back and forth and throwing monkeywrenches into the gears at the same time. It's also loaded up with truely interesting and likable characters, many of whom have intriguing backstories that are only briefly referred to or hinted at but that play roles in their own motivations and in the movie's larger story. And these hinted backgrounds rip open some new possibilities of their own. I would just leave it at that, vague as it is, but with this movie having gone largely unseen, I'd really like to encourage people to at least give it a chance, and I'm going to point out a few things that I think might draw people in. I'm not going to go past the halfway point of the movie but nonetheless, if you're already planning on seeing it, you might want to stop reading now.

***WARNING: POSSIBLE SEMI-SPOILERS(1ST HALF OF MOVIE ONLY) AHEAD ****

- In a lot of horror movies, a variation on one of two approaches is used: show the monster and the mayhem; or don't show it, use hints and suggestions, and let imagination take over. Both are perfectly valid approaches that have helped create many great horror movies. "Evil Remains" is perhaps the ultimate example of a movie that does both: I don't think I've ever seen such a full-throttle and visually horrific movie that still leaves so much to puzzle out and wonder about and imagine.

- Fans of truly gruesome horror take note: Leatherface's leather mask is brutally disturbing and Freddy Krueger's razor claws are deadly, but the 'dark bizarre' ante gets upped again here. Have you ever heard of a killer(?)(apparition?)(hallucination?) that wears the filleted head of a dog he murdered as a mask?

- If that makes some fans want to turn away from this, it should be re-iterated how interesting and likable the 'non-evil' characters are on here. All helped along by great acting, and many of them carrying some kind of mystery of their own, these very empathisable characters are, I think, going to win over some viewers who usually shy away from the more graphic horror to how great a lot of these movies can be, from "Friday The 13th" to "House Of 1,000 Corpses" and "Saw", for starters.

- Speaking of graphic horror, how about human-sized sharp steeljawed snare-trap type devices? That look nothing like anything factory made but dead-on exactly like something a psychopath with a working forge and sufficient time wuld cobble together in a basement of horrors, or a totally insane, possibly possessed mind, would conjure up? People who still advocate trappers setting up these things in the woods may think a bit differently after seeing "Evil Remains".

- Finally, if you've liked any of the following (and I know this is an eclectic batch, but this movie aggressively tears open a Lot of possibilities) I'd really urge you to check "Evil Remains" out: "Friday The 13th" , "Amityville" (especially the second one, from 1981), "Wrong Turn", "Fear Runs Silent", "The Blair Witch Project", "Tourist Trap", "Saw" or "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

Truly one of horror's great undiscovered treasures.

Lots of potential, not a lot of substance........2005-08-28

This movie starts out, like most, with a pretty good plot, though it soon deteriorates into just another long, dragged out borefest. For example, you'll get annoyed with the never-ending card game, as well as the painfully tedious conversations between characters who become possessed (ala The Shining), most notably between Estella Warren's character and her on-screen girlfriend as they hide out (I won't give away more than that, in the event you actually want to see this one). On the positive side, Estella Warren's acting is actually pretty good (better than The Planet of the Apes, anyway). In sum, though, I wouldn't recommend this one.

Just by way of background, and while other reviewers seems to prefer to reveal much of the story and plot, I think that sort of ruins the film in many cases. So, you'll want to look for other reviews and reviewers if that is what you are looking for...

SWAMPED.......2005-08-20

Although set in the usually eerie swamplands of Louisiana, EVIL REMAINS doesn't go too far in advancing the tired cursed land story. A group of students venture off to a supposedly cursed plantation to disprove the myth of it being cursed. Seems twenty years earlier, an abused boy murdered his sadistic father and passive mother, but his body was never recovered. (Hint, hint). The movie tries to achieve some atmospheric chills and its cast is more than capable, but it's too talky and under-directed to provide true chills.
