Reviews:
” … neither scary, nor strange, nor interesting, nor intentionally funny, although Dad aka John (Todd Lowe) has some line readings about his wife passing that are hilarious. In his maiden film effort, director/screenwriter Thomas Della Bella shows some technical adeptness, but he let himself down badly with the script. The best thing The Remains has going for it is the performance of Hannah Nordberg as the middle daughter, Victoria.” Meet Mr.Karma
“The plot of The Remains, which follows a family trying to recover from the loss of John’s wife, could have benefited from more time spent on the crescendo. But the hurried conclusion in no way harms how much fun the film is. This ghost story incorporates all the wicked pieces that make haunted houses so exciting, touching on everything from seances to demons to scary dolls.” Lexi Harrington, Fangoria
