Remnants

I actually really liked this movie. It's very focused on the importance of found family and how to survive the end of the world.

It really follows the genre well, and with the excellent camera work and the acting the cast did, you definitely get that edgy and suspenseful apocalypse feel.

I do wish there has been more horror elements, maybe more in depth explanation of how/why the apocalypse happened, but I still liked it.

The characters are interesting, the actors did an amazing job.

The cinematography is really well done. The beach scenes were really impressive.

All in all I enjoyed this movie, I would watch it again.

I love all things apocalyptic and zombie. I was so excited to see a new movie come out of this genre but it was a complete let down. Absolutely NOTHING happens in this film. There is no plot, no storyline, nothing. There is no action or suspense. You see "Vapes" (the zombies) maybe three times. There is no explanation of what they are or how they got there. In the very first minutes of the movie you see an eel type things crawling out of a dead person but that's the only time you see them. It's not believable and the actors are not likable. You don't even get to know the characters and several were introduced that have no real connection to the story itself. Don't waste your time.

Raw.

That's the first word that came to my mind when I finished watching this film.

The characters feel like they were ripped right out of a great author's pages, allowing the actors to really demonstrate what kind of tolls being on the run in a post-apocalyptic world where every day life comes face to face with obstacles can have on someone.

Not just physically, but mentally, too.

Of course, like any good movie, the cinematography is incredible and the dialogue is funny, but what truly stood out about the film to me was how earnest the performances were when their characters were struggling to open up about their past traumas.

I highly recommend giving it a complete watch!

I love zombie movies because even low-budget ones can sometimes be real gems. Unfortunately, "Remnants" isn't one of them. I decided to watch it because it won an award at a film festival, and the reviews were quite positive. While I don't regret watching it, the film didn't live up to my expectations.

The storyline in "Remnants" is pretty typical for a zombie movie. It follows three post-apocalyptic survivors as they head north in search of a safer place. However, most of the movie takes place in just one location. This was a bit boring and disappointing because it's a relatively safe place with plenty of supplies, and we barely see any zombies.

The cast is quite good, and their acting was solid. Still, I wished the movie had more action, as very little happens throughout the film. At one point, two colorful and unique side characters are introduced, but their roles are minimal. I was hoping for something interesting to develop between them and the main characters, but it didn't.

The biggest letdown was the ending, which felt abrupt and didn't make much sense. It was like the director ran out of time and had to wrap it up quickly. "Remnants" runs for 95 minutes, but I think another 5 or 10 minutes could have helped wrap up the story in a more meaningful way, especially since not much happened, and there wasn't a clear plot.

In the end, I gave it three stars, which I think is fair compared to other zombie movies out there.

I really liked the pace throughout the movie. The movie also succeeded in making me fall in love with the characters, the ending had me biting my nails! The zombies were not too realistic in my opinion though, like why were they getting in a fistfight with people? Shouldn't they try to bite them?

The humor between characters was great, they really did a good job with that. Great interactions, couldn't get enough of it. Really like that we get to dive in into the chracters past and find out who they really are, not what they try to seem like in front of their friends. Really enjoyed my Sunday night watching this.
