I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I watched all three episodes that are out so far on Netflix, and I did not notice 3 hours go by. I was on the edge of my side while watching these. The music is captivating, the filming is fantastic and the acting is perfect. Natalia Tena is phenomenal in the role of the artist photographer and she takes us in the darkness of a twisted city through the lens of her camera. Slowly becoming the people whom she photographs, through her obsession she finds something in her photos, more than emotions, she finds -things-. Perhaps the explosion in China made this series more thrilling. All in all, the series has a dark vibe, adult content, and a supernatural phenomenon. The sci-fi twist is perfect for those who enjoy a good thrilling experience. I would highly recommend this show to people who enjoyed playing Thief, Kholat, horror games in general, Heavy Rain... Overall, it had a story telling appeal that could be a very very promising series.

I'm just about never the one to complain that a movie is 'too slow'. 4 hour silent Russian epic? Sign me up! But this movie got the better of me. I'm fine with slow if there's a purpose. Letting a mood or scene sink in... letting characters establish themselves... but in Residue there were loads of scenes where nothing happened and while it established a good mood/atmosphere early on... after a while it just felt like padding. Stylish and good looking, but padding nonetheless.No surprise then that this is a pilot for a TV show. That leads me to think it's like one of those overwritten Stephen King novels that weighs in at 500+ pages when it really could have been a short story. As it is, since there is a mystery at the core of this setup it has me thinking Lost... do I really want to keep watching for some trumped up ending that won't satisfy? Also, the characters. If it weren't a pilot then the main character would have been one of the three main ones here. As it is they're all spread thin and none of them engage. The cop doesn't do much of anything, the photographer just stares at her picture and types in her thoughts, her public relations boyfriend is the most proactive but even he doesn't get much to do. I came away irritated... lacking good will to continue on with the series. I just expect more drawn out stylish nonsense with no real tale to tell.

It is incredibly difficult to find great TV shows that don't follow the boring format that most TV shows are cursed with. Having a 3 part pilot gives a great start to the series. You actually have time to get to know and care about the characters. The acting was wonderful and I enjoyed the plot and dialog. Very interesting and peeked my curiosity within the first few minutes.I think people could be confused if they did not know this was a pilot and a 2nd season with 10 planned episodes is in the works with Netflix at the helm. Highly recommend!

What an appalling movie. Terrible acting, script, effects, plot. From the appalling stilted acting to the exaggerated Scottish accent of the so-called gang leader to the idiot tout strolling around with a haversack on his back and a leather pilot's helmet on his head, it was like watching a badly made you tube clip. I have seen better all round from my local amateur drama group. This movie is so bad I had to watch it just to see if there was any redeeming features about it. No such luck. Films like this make the best argument there is for censorship. Thank the Gods for fast forward, it saved me an hour less wasted. I really must control my masochistic tendencies. I give it a rating of 1 simply because I can't give a 0. If you have any love of movies, DO NOT watch this one.
