This movie started off as if it was going to be good but ended up being disappointed.

The movie definitely kept you tense throughout; however, I expected it to be a bit more action.

I did see that the movie seemed to be focused more on one main character and whatever happened to his significant other.

However, if I was to give my input of expectations, I feel that the storyline should have had more of an explanation to what was going on. Meaning when did the "apocalypse (if that's even what it was) " started, what was the reason behind the story, where did it get started, how did this even come about and why.

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.

This is a gem. Despite it being written in 2014, it still does a lot of unique things for the genre. Sure, there are some similarities between The Walking Dead and The Last of Us, but that can't be avoided in an infected/apocalyptic film at this point.

You can definitely see why it won awards at so many festivals, it's artsy, a bit sad, but still has some great moments for action fans. The last 15 minutes are a wild ride, non-stop. If you like a film that really explores the characters, which are idiosyncratic and complex, then you'll especially enjoy this. This film really explores the human condition and depicts universal struggles we all have with connecting with others, processing traumas and finding meaning in what can often be a cruel world. It's only 90 minutes, worth a full watch through.

Father and son movie night ruined. I am absolutely flabbergasted by how many people gave such a positive view for this movie. Glad some people enjoyed. There was nothing about this film that was like "The Walking Dead". Even though my subtitle says "Biggest waste of my time" I was able to find the time to do my Duolingo for the day. That gives you any example of how boring the movie was. It was very slow and some scenes were drug out too long. Some scenes were irrelevant to the "plot" of the film. Also, my dad fell asleep. I saw that this film took 8 years to make and maybe should have spent more money of props and details. I liked the concept idea of the film, but it was poorly put together. I've seen better post-apocalyptic themed movies before, but this one was just not well developed.

This was a great film, because it's raw, feels real and doesn't follow the zombie movie playbook. It jumps right into the story without explanation and, if you pay attention, you can learn everything you need to know about the universe along the way. I liked that, because it kept me on my feet and wanting to know more.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is the cinematography. Some of the b-roll of the beach landscapes is gorgeous. The director lived on the beach and shot a lot of the b-roll once conditions were just right. Shot compositions in the whole were out of the box and at times daring.

You almost don't notice that the film was shot for less than $100k. Pretty impressive, considering.

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.

Can't wait to see the whole movie the trailer gave me a perfect cliffhanger just makes me want to see it even more! :)) also a good film for the spooky season. It definitely gives off 'The Walking Dead' series vibes which I am a big fan of. In my opinion I feel they should make this out to become a series instead of a movie only because of the vibes it gives off, either way I love the concept of it. Morally , this is an intimate tale that spaces out the action with down to earth & charming characters. It's a fun 90 minute film, and thats difficult to make these days especially in the indie market, easy 9/10!.

This is not a zombie movie. Well, it is, but don't go into it expecting to see gratuitous zombie kills every ten minutes. The focus here was definitely the character driven storyline and exploring life in the apacolypse.

Despite the dark tone, there is a good bit of humor throughout giving it a sense of realism. The characters feel like real people living in unpleasant circumstances, yet trying to make the best of it. One of the main characters, Cash, is a bit zany and technically the "comic relief" but not overdone.

Lots of tense moments, good bit of action and the film is pretty touching at times. Big fan of this indie diamond in the rough!

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.

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.

'Remnants', a mesmerizing portrayal of survival and humanity within a post-apocalyptic reality. Garnering "Best Film", "Best Director", and "Best Editing" accolades throughout its festival journey, 'Remnants' is more than just a cinematic spectacle; it is an exploration of the human condition when confronted with the unthinkable.

Directed with an unflinching eye and a penchant for nuanced storytelling, the filmmaker has stretched the boundaries of traditional filmmaking. The ambitious shooting schedule manifests brilliantly on screen, particularly through the character Mason, masterfully played by Jack Roberts. The passage of real-time allows for an authenticity that transcends the narrative, making the on-screen journey feel astonishingly genuine.

The plot unfurls at a deliberate pace, unveiling the mysteries of the dystopian world and the monstrous 'vapes' in a meticulously controlled manner. Each step in the trio's voyage is laden with suspense, further emphasized by the chilling tranquility of the film's setting, with the sequences in the forsaken beach house standing out for their haunting juxtaposition of serenity and dread.

Among the film's many standout elements is the deeply layered character development. Mason, Cash, and Kyla are expertly drawn out, with their emotional arcs deftly constructed to reflect distinct, relatable aspects of the human response to crisis. Their dialogue and interactions are not just plot devices but mirrors into their souls, driving home the narrative's exploration of humanity's resilience in face of adversity.

Equally impressive is the editing. The pacing and rhythm established are impeccable, creating a steady sense of foreboding that grips viewers from the opening scene to the credits. The film's opening, a riveting POV sequence, is a striking embodiment of this ethos, as it thrusts audiences directly into the heart of the action.

The visual effects rendering the post-apocalyptic world with chilling realism. Equally commendable is the sound design that enhances the viewing experience by deftly crafting an auditory landscape that amplifies the tension and anxiety inherent in the film's narrative.

'Remnants' is a masterclass in balancing entertainment with thought-provoking commentary. Its exploration of complex themes such as the paradoxes of human nature, survival instincts, and the aftermath of societal collapse, infuse the narrative with intellectual depth.

'Remnants' is a triumph of post-apocalyptic cinema, a potent blend of suspense, emotional depth, and insightful commentary. Its masterful direction, exceptional editing, and stellar performances mark it as a distinguished entry within the genre. A veritable tour de force, 'Remnants' is an indispensable viewing for those seeking a film experience that challenges both the heart and mind.

The movie Remnants is one of those rare indie films that makes a big impression even though it was made on a little budget. The mood is immersive, raw, and tense from the very first frame. The caliber of the storyline, cinematography, and acting really astonished me. Jack Roberts, who directed, wrote, and performed in the movie, shows off his creative vision and range in an amazing way.

The idea behind the movie may sound familiar: a world after the end of the world, three survivors, and a search for refuge. But the way Remnants plays out is anything but normal. What makes it stand out is how deep it is emotionally and how it focuses on what it is to be human. There are a lot of exciting moments, but the story isn't only about surviving via action scenes. Instead, it looks at tragedy, grief, and the tenuous optimism that keeps individuals going even when everything is falling apart.

All of the performances were quite good. Jack Roberts does his part with intensity and inner strife without going too far. Ryan Wesen is another great actor. His portrayal of a man dealing with shame and responsibility gives the movie an emotional depth that stays with you long after the credits roll. Rebi Paganini's character is both strong and weak at the same time. The connection between the three of them seems real, and their relationship changes gradually as the tale goes on.

The movie looks great. The cinematography shows how gloomy the world is after the collapse without using a lot of CGI or over-the-top effects. The characters' physical and mental emptiness is well shown through the usage of forests, abandoned roads, and damaged houses. The way the movie is filmed is hauntingly beautiful; light and shadows are employed perfectly to match the mood of each scene. Because it looked so good, I had to convince myself that this wasn't a huge studio movie.

The soundtrack and sound design are also great. The movie uses both music and stillness well. There are times when a simple background sound, like a crackling fire or a rustling tree in the distance, makes things tenser than a booming soundtrack ever could. When music is employed, it's soft and melancholy, which makes the feeling stronger without being too much.

The rhythm of Remnants is also what makes it stand out. The movie never seems to be going too fast or too slowly. It takes time to develop its characters and their backstories, and the plot reveals bits and pieces of them as it goes along. There are times when you have to think about things quietly and times when you're on the edge of your seat. This back and forth keeps the audience interested and involved.

The writing is another big plus. There isn't much explanation, and the dialogue seems real. In a life-or-death situation, the characters talk like real people would. There are no speeches that have to be given or long talks that don't need to be. Every phrase and scene has a purpose.

I also like how the movie doesn't use cliches that are easy to guess. I thought I could foresee what would happen next in the tale, but it would always take a different turn. This wasn't done to surprise me; it was done to stay loyal to the characters and their arcs. The finale is fulfilling, emotional, and provides just the appropriate amount of room for thought.

I wish it were a little longer, but that's the only thing I would change. I wanted to spend more time with the characters and learn more about their pasts. That being said, the movie is just 1 hour and 35 minutes long, and it's extremely well cut with very little extra footage.

In general, Remnants is a strong indie film that is far better than it should be. It's interesting to look at, makes you think, and makes you feel. I can see why it won so many accolades at festivals. It really merits the praise. This movie is a must-see for fans of post-apocalyptic dramas that focus on human feeling rather than action.

Very highly recommended.

This film was a masterclass in suspense and cinematic ambiguity. Most writer/director/actors are underwhelming, but this was one of the rare success stories. Jack apparently had a great run in fests with a short film he wrote/starred/directed/shot/produced Tick, before doing the same with Remnants. He obviously did not shoot as much of the feature, but he is listed as one of the cinematographers.

Jack plays the lead Mason, the strong silent southern gentleman who struggles with loss and his failures, whilst trying to lead a small group to safer pastures. The complex performance carries the film throughout. Thumbs up.

In a genre often saturated with clichés, this indie zombie film emerges as a breath of fresh air. While constrained by a modest budget, the film triumphs through its exceptional character development and a script that punches above its weight. The narrative is a tightrope walk of tension and emotion, blending the traditional zombie horror elements with a freshness that feels original. The characters are the film's heartbeat, each portrayed with depth and relatability, driving the story forward compellingly. The script, although not without its indie quirks, cleverly navigates the familiar territory with inventive twists, keeping the audience engaged and invested. While the production values reflect its indie roots, they add to the film's charm, proving that a towering budget isn't necessary to create a captivating, character-driven story in the zombie genre. A commendable effort that showcases the potential of indie filmmaking.

Loved the fresh take of a post apocalyptic hellscape. This gives me such Last Of Us vibes. When you take a way a humans basic needs you'll soon find an animal. Thats why I love these types of stories where you need men to survive, but are also the greatest threat. Helps remind my brain some of the darker urges of man where killing is commonplace. This movie just excels at building the tension to the scene slowly to the point where it feels like it's boiling. I literally found myself getting stressed while watching some of the scenes.

So overall a highly pleasurable experience I'm glad I came upon.

Excellent

This is more than just a post apocalyptic movie.

What stands out is how meticulously the world is built. The characters themselves feel fleshed out with genuine motives and attitudes. These two elements adds a certain realism that is rarely seen in post apocalyptic movies.

The film also features beautiful landscapes and is beautifully shot, considering the budget.

Overall this is the perfect movie to watch when you want to have fun, but also don't mind going deep with the characters. It feature thrills, laughter, scares, and everything in between. The director did an impressive job.

The level of production quality is incredible. Indie films like this deserve more credit and press than they got. The two guys who run Lesnik Entertainment wrote and produced this in their 20's paying for it out of pocket for the most part. Of course the film is not as action packed as other zombie movies, but this is impressive for a film with a budget of less than $100k. It proves that almost anyone can make a feature film these days, it just takes talent and tenacity.

There is a reason this film won four awards at for different festivals. It has a voice, it feels authentic and the acting is strong.

Had the opportunity to watch 'Remnants', a film that effortlessly justifies its festival recognition.

The storyline engages you with a gradual exposure to a dystopian world, creating an intense atmosphere with the existence of ominous creatures referred to as 'vapes'.

The characters are fully fleshed out, and their personal journeys elicit deep empathy. 'Remnants' presents a gripping exploration of a post-apocalyptic landscape, making it an essential watch for anyone seeking a riveting cinematic experience.

I highly recommend this movie to anyone who wants a stimulating and thoroughly entertaining experience.

If you can overlook the flaws that come along with many indie films, especially of this genre, and are seeking out an entertaining horror film with a memorable villain and protagonist and an easy going, mostly predictable formula, which 100% works with this, then Found might be the film for you! The trailer itself it's worth watching If you're a zombie horror fan, then I recommend it tuning into this film

Tastes vary and I don't expect everyone to love it. It's certainly not for everyone. Opinions differ and that is completely healthy as long as every opinion is presented respectfully! I have a feeling this will simply be my favorite indie horror film and I ramble.

Cool concept It does borrow from other apocalyptic movies/tv shows , but I did find myself enjoying this movie. The acting and the plot were definitely good. And how the story unfolds is actually interesting. The movie has a very claustrophobic feel in my opinion which I liked. I find Remnants a good, underrated science fiction horror movie that definitely needs to get the credit it deserves. In Pandorum we get a handful of kills, but we get a lot of dead bodies, and weird creatures. The kills are decent with some blood and of course gore . And for those who don't like it when someone messes with the eyes, be forewarned.

Who doesn't love a good zombie apocalypse movie? Remnants received several accolades already including best director. The acting and storyline are super suspenseful so I preordered so that I can add this flick to my horror collection. It reminds me of The Walking Dead which are big shoes to fill but Remnants does a great job of keeping me interested and wondering if our 3 protagonists that are fleeing north for survival are going to come out on top or will turn into remnants themselves. It definitely looks very characteristic of what I imagine a zombie apocalypse to be like and why you should always stay ready.

"Remnants" is like the indie zombie movie you didn't know you needed. While I'm not usually one for apocalyptic movies, I'm super excited for this one! I love the concept of "never stop moving" - definitely anxiety inducing, but in the best way! A slow burner I can enjoy curled up on the couch.

The sparse yet impactful storytelling, coupled with raw cinematography, captures the essence of a shattered world. The actors are perfect in their roles, the cinematography embodies a consistent post-apocalyptic vibe with comedic breaks in between. What more could you ask for? You don't want to miss this one!
