Movie Reviews of Dark Remains
Movie Review: Bumps, Jumps, and Full of Surprises
Summary: 5 Stars
"Dark Remains" is an independent horror film that should not be overlooked. Placing a major emphasis on creating a "creepy" and "disturbing" environment, the film is full of shocking scenes that are sure to frighten the viewing audience. The shocking moments come when you least expect them, and the tension remains with the viewer as they expect further shocking surprises at every turn. The film is good at keeping these scenes evenly paced out, in order to not only build more tension, but to also keep the film interesting without overdoing the "jump" moments.
The story focuses around a couple, Allen and Julie Pyke, who recently had their young daughter brutally murdered in their home while they were asleep. Following the murder of their daughter, the two are torn with grief and decide it's best to move away for a while. So, the couple decides to rent a cabin far away from their home, in order to try to forget and heal their wounds of the past. Allen uses this time to begin writing a new book while Julie uses the beautiful scenery of the forest as a new subject matter of her photographs.
Everything appears to be getting better for the couple, until Julie discovers an abandoned prison located deep within the forest. She becomes fascinated with the prison, and obsessively continues to return to the site to take photographs of it. After developing the photos in her dark room, the audience is shown that Julie has actually been photographing spirits that reside within the prison. With each passing day, Julie slips into a deeper depression, and refuses to leave the cabin. Allen discovers the truth behind the cabin and its past inhabitants, everyone who has ever lived there has committed suicide after falling into depression. It becomes Allen's main goal to save his wife from becoming the next victim of the house.
From the opening scene until the last scene, "Dark Remains" continues to leave the viewer with chills. Scaring the audience at every turn with sudden appearances of ghosts and other eerie actions, the film always leaves you waiting for the next scary moment, which usually isn't too far away. The story is good, the acting is decent, and the special effects and scary moments are amazingly done. The pacing is perfect for a horror film, and it gives enough time for the story to develop without neglecting the ability to scare the audience at every turn.
"Dark Remains" is a truly frightening film, that is guaranteed to shock you and leave you wanting more. The ending is left open for the viewer to interrupt for themselves, and the gore is well balanced and serves a purpose to the development of the overall plot. If you're a fan of horror movies, you cannot go wrong with picking up "Dark Remains".
