Remnant Ratings & Reviews

My quick rating - 4.4/10. Well, this flick is a slow-burn journey into psychological horror as Grace (Megan Bell), a grief-stricken woman, returns to her family farm only to face haunting apparitions and a growing sense of dread. While the film showcases some intriguing visuals and solid craftsmanship for its budget, its narrative falters, leaving an underwhelming impression by the time the credits roll. The film's final act carries a distinct giallo vibe, with moody lighting, tense atmosphere, and a dramatic climax. However, unlike the works of Argento or other genre masters, where intricate storytelling leaves you with a satisfying “aha!” moment, this movie stumbles in connecting its pieces. Instead of an impactful resolution that ties earlier events into a cohesive whole, the ending leaves you shrugging with a “yeah, whatever” feeling, as if the preceding story was merely decorative. On the technical side, the film punches above its weight. The cinematography captures the isolation and eeriness of the rural setting, while the practical effects are commendably executed, particularly the creative ghostly visuals. The aesthetic choices effectively build an atmosphere that’s both haunting and beautiful, a testament to Mike Horan making the most of their limited resources. The acting, while not groundbreaking, is decent for a cast comprised largely of unknowns. Bell’s portrayal of Grace is believable, with just enough vulnerability and grit to carry the story, though the script doesn’t give her—or the other characters—much depth to work with. The pacing, however, is a mixed bag. While slow burns can be rewarding, this one sometimes drags, with stretches of uneventful scenes that tested my patience. This uneven rhythm detracts from the tension the film is trying to build. Additionally, the story occasionally falls into the trap of overused horror clichés, which feel out of place in a movie that otherwise strives for creativity. The "check the body to make sure they are dead" kind of cliche. It does have flashes of creativity and aesthetic flair that make it worth a look for fans of slow-burn psychological horror. However, its uneven storytelling and unsatisfying conclusion prevent it from reaching its full potential. It’s a film with ambition, but one that ultimately leaves you wishing for more cohesion and depth.
