I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Truly Dreadful Film
It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
There are so many things to like about this movie. Amazing cinematography and great visuals. The actors are very charismatic and give great performances. I loved the style and the suspense that the director basicallly built out of nothing.This would be a great movie for film students to study as everything about it is great except... the plot was terrible. I have not idea what happened, why it happened or where its going. I understand that so much has been done that movie writers are looking for something new. But going nowhere is not the way to go. Movies are supposed to be entertaining and ones that leave all questions and no answers are not that, at least for me.
"They Remain" is that type of movie without any character or situation development. The viewer sees two researchers seeking out something, somewhere in an undefined period of time and that is the mystery of the story: lack of information. Along the boring screenplay, nothing happens along 1:42 h in extremely slow pace. The Afro-American and the Caucasian have no chemistry, but they will certainly shag with each other in the last half part. And there is no explanation for the awful conclusion. Advice when most needed is least heeded but do not believe in the fake reviews and do not spend your time watching this crap. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): Not Available
Long a fan of HP Lovecraft, Thomas Ligotti, Laird Barron, Christopher Slatsky, Matthew Bartlett, TE Grau, and a number of other weird fiction writers, I have also long been disappointed in the lack of good weird fiction in film. Too often the stories are adapted to remove what makes them special in the first place: the weirdness, the nihilism, the cosmic perspective. Happily, They Remain retains the weirdness and takes its time building the stifling and creepy atmosphere required to deliver it. I really enjoyed this, and I hope to see more like it. Its not perfect. Its not for everyone. But in general, it is a victory for those who know and enjoy the pleasures of the strange.
The Blair Witch Project at the time of writing this review has a rating of 6.4, including my rating of 1/10. This is that much better than TBWP, which I found to be a load of cow droppings.The score and cinematography in this are top notch, both main actors do a pretty good job as well. That is all that gets this 4 stars. Any semblance of a story would have gotten this another star.I sat through this once, but would not do it again. A few times I considered turning it off, but didn't, so be it, there went 100 minutes of my life....Not a terrible movie, but not one I would recommend to anyone.
