Review – Dark Remains

As low-budget horror movies go, I’ve seen worse. For some time now I’ve maintained that just because an independent director doesn’t have the money for big-name stars or fancy special effects doesn’t mean that he has to make a picture with a boring story and a witless script. To be sure, this isn’t going to win any prizes for brilliant movie-making. The acting is amateurish (though on the high end of that spectrum) and the tale gets a little laconic in places. But the production makes good use of the resources it has, conjuring a spooky atmosphere and a few solid, ghostly shocks. Even folks with a lot more cash on hand could learn a lot from work like this. Mildly amusing
