Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Jerrie It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

robinson_al There are so many things to like about this movie. Amazing cinematography and great visuals. The actors are very charismatic and give great performances. I loved the style and the suspense that the director basicallly built out of nothing.This would be a great movie for film students to study as everything about it is great except... the plot was terrible. I have not idea what happened, why it happened or where its going. I understand that so much has been done that movie writers are looking for something new. But going nowhere is not the way to go. Movies are supposed to be entertaining and ones that leave all questions and no answers are not that, at least for me.

prince_vlad I've seen a lot of movies in my life, and I mean it, A LOT, but nothing like this. It lets you wonder where did you encounter such feelings, such movie... Both actors, never seen them before, play actual very well, especially the woman character. The tension rises but soon you discover that it happens but not in the way you would expect and that gives you a strange feeling that soemthing is not right with this movie, with what you already seen. And as just in the best movies, it keep you guessing and you mind constructs things on the fly based of your movie experience, but nothing seem to prepare you for the final. A very good indie movie I'd say.

isobellefox Long a fan of HP Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Laird Barron, Christopher Slatsky, Matthew Bartlett, TE Grau, and a number of other weird fiction writers, I have also long been disappointed in the lack of good weird fiction in film. Too often the stories are adapted to remove what makes them special in the first place: the weirdness, the nihilism, the cosmic perspective. Happily, They Remain retains the weirdness and takes its time building the stifling and creepy atmosphere required to deliver it. I really enjoyed this, and I hope to see more like it. Its not perfect. Its not for everyone. But in general, it is a victory for those who know and enjoy the pleasures of the strange.

donkeycity Compelling performances, often-gorgeous cinematography, and a persistent sense of unease and alien eroticism, make for a hypnotic Horror film that opens itself up for you get lost in its rich textures and existential dread. Think 'Picnic at Hanging Rock,' but with a touch more paganism. It's pretty great.They Remain is, to my knowledge, the first cinematic adaptation of a Laird Barron story (this one being rooted in -30- from the Occultation short story collection), and it does a wonderful job of evoking the unsettling world-behind-the-world that is the persistent undercurrent of Barron's work. Readers of story might note that the setting has moved from a California desert to a chilly forest - a move I think really works to the film's advantage, letting the internal confusion of the characters manifest externally, and - importantly - providing an environment that feels ancient and alive, brimming with cycles of life and death, decomposition and rebirth. For me, at least, it gives it much more of a 'folk horror' atmosphere that I really connected with.Separating this film from other works adjacent to this stripe of dream-inflected natural Horror is the strong work by the two lead actors. They largely carry, and solidify, the narrative by skirting between both alienation and dependence, keeping the audience enthralled in the acrimony bubbling under the surface within the tight confines of the field research lab, as the ebb and flow of needing a home to come back to conflicts with the compulsion to taste the reckless freedom of just being lost in nature, and the price that is paid for both.It's a really excellent film that, for the right audience at least, is going to be a deeply compelling and unsettling experience.
