One Remains

Very good story,terrible execution ...Waste... I really liked the story-line,it could have been great if only the acting was good and the director knew what is directing is all about...Very unfortunate...in the hands of real professionals could have been really good horror...

Sort of a partial found footage film, this is an exercise in trying to capture the uneasiness of the deaths of a group of people in a remote forest area. The film crew is interviewing an older man who had been the ranger for the area and found the people dead. His son and grandson are around to help the man as he is reportedly suffering from dementia. Cue a supernatural phenomenon, and the crew start acting weird and are dying or being killed. Note: the film crew are all "characters" who have quirks but these just make them irritating rather than unique. Why is this the case in so many of these smaller films? It doesn't create tension or motivate for sympathy for a character. It just creates annoyance in the viewer. Be prepared for a vague ending that doesn't quite explain "what" is happening regarding the supernatural elements, so you'll just have to be content with that if you watch.

If the acting and script were better, the movie would probably have been something worth watching. I kept watching hoping that there would be developments in the story but it felt like there was nothing worthwhile that came from this terrible film.

Waste of time. Movie does not make sense. You have been warned. Don't waste 90 minutes of your life like I did.

Very intriguing base idea, some smart dialogues, decent acting (Ryan O'Quinn did a great job), nice atmosphere but... disproportionate premises, some unuseful stereotypes, messy structure of the script (or just a wrong editing). I would like to watch a better-made remake of this movie, a new production with more funds and, of course, with a new script.
