The Child Remains

This movie has pretty good story, acting and production. What it doesn't have is a good ending. The build up was done well but once it gathers some speed and things start to happen it goes downhill. In the end you'll just be scratching your head and wondering how was all that supposed to work.

This film has a slow build up to a conclusion that I, certainly, didn't see coming. I like movies that keep me guessing. The production isn't top quality, no offense to Canada, but I knew right away it was coming from there. I'm not sure what it is about their movies, but I can almost always identify them and/or their actors. Not bad, just different. The writers did a nice job off tying up loose ends that I didn't even suspect existed. The saddest thing about this film is that thing like this actually happened, giving horror writers material for stories to come. This one was inspired by a Canadian adoption agency, but America had its own outrageous orphanage scandal, too. For me, it was worth watching. And, for the record, this ISN'T a phony review, as one reviewer suggests. Each to their own, as the saying goes.

The camera work here is terrible and the effects are worse. Suzanne Clément deserves so much better than this and she is the only reason I haven't given this a 3

Well acted, eerie, and a good combination of Amytiville Horror and The Shining type of movies. Very surprised to see such poor reviews, for an up and coming filmmaker as I suppose this was, it was a good movie, in the most difficult genre to make a good movie. I had decided not to see the reviews before watching it and I'm glad didn't.

Good acting, perhaps the story was a little predictable, but good as well. Great photography. Not sure about the dual outcome at the end.

Pretty good movie with a nice creepy storyline.. worse part of it is the background music is so dam loud its hard to hear what their saying especially during the parts where their explaining everything..
