A refresher for indie horror films… The
Remaining is a shocker in all the right ways.
They always say “don’t judge a book by
its cover” and it is completely true when it comes to The Remaining. Almost all
of the reviews that I have read were negative and that stopped me from watching
The Remaining when it came out last year. Thankfully, it was on Rogers On
Demand and I decided to watch it since I wasn’t doing anything for Thanksgiving
and what I have to say about The Remaining is…
Your eyes will be glued to screen;
whether you find The Remaining scary or not. The storyline and biblical influence
fascinated me and getting to see how Casey La Scala portrayed his vision
through his film was beyond amazing. La Scala’s choice of actors was perfect
for this style of film. Since it has a touch of found footage, the choice of
actors needs to be underrated for that realness factor. With mainstream actors,
they unfortunately aren’t as versatile. With the main actors of The Remaining, though
I’ve watched them in various other films their previous characters never popped
in my head because they still have that realness in their talent. I was so attached
to each character and I was rooting for them make through to the end.
Every disaster that took place seemed
as real as it could; I even forgot at one point that it was an indie film. The characters
dialogue and storyline was not cliché opposed to what other reviews might say. The
special FX was jaw dropping from beginning to end and I am honestly annoyed at
anyone who wouldn’t give The Remaining a chance.
The Remaining is not a mainstream movie
with no mainstream actors and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Watch The Remaining On Demand or even
purchase it on Amazon or YouTube. You will not regret it.
RATING: 10/10
DON’T LET THE DEMONS BITE, OR DO; YOU FREAKS!!!
