One Remains

source: One Remains

All I knew about this 2019 movie from director Josh Hodgins was that it was a horror movie, which is essentially enough needed to get my attention. And since I hadn't already seen it, of course I took the time to sit down and watch it. Now, the movie should have been titled "None Remains" because this is how I feel the movie will do to you; you just get up and turn it off. I managed to endure 47 minutes of pure torture before I had enough, caved in and gave up. Nothing of any worth or interest happened in these very, very long 47 minutes. And I can't really claim to have had any interest in the characters either. Everything in those abysmal 47 minutes was just pointless and bland. The storyline and plot in "One Remains" was lacking. I seriously have no idea what writers Nancy Criss, Josh Hodgins, Vanessa Leigh and Laura Megan Stahl were trying to accomplish with "One Remains". But pretty impressive that not one, but four, writers manage to produce something this unappealing. That is quite an accomplishment in itself. As for the acting, well I didn't recognize anyone on the cast list, which is always a plus for me. I am sure that the actors and actresses were doing good enough jobs to the extend of their abilities, but they virtually had nothing - and I seriously mean that - to work with in terms of script, plot and storyline. I am rating "One Remains" a generous two out of ten stars solely because the movie did seem to have adequate production value at least. If you enjoy a good horror movie, do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "One Remains". It just simply isn't worth the time, money or effort.

You have to add a lesbian sex scene to keep the 15 year old boys without the internet or too stupid to turn off a parental lock, to keep them watching. This was cool and edgy in before 2009, now it's just fluff.

Creepy but not overly gory. Good job on a low budget indie film

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...

Acting was absolutely AWFUL!!!! And nothing at all happens until around the 57 minute mark, and when it does, it makes no sense. Why were they on the tape? No answer at all is given, it just randomly happens. They suddenly find a video tape of them all dying on it lol there's no reason given as to why or what it's from/for/because of. Junk.

This film was beautifully shot and directed, a suspense filled scary little indie film with stand out actors. Amazing what you can do on a low budget with skilled cast cast and crew, well done!

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

A group of young filmmakers head on up to the remote "pass" to interview Mr. Mahoney (Christopher Atkins) who was a park ranger. He discovered a bunch of mutilated bodies and hasn't been the same since. They wait to catch him in a lucid moment. For the first hour, this is a boring film, except for the lesbian scene. About an hour into the film it turns into a WTF Twilight Zone with no closure, but a bevy of hints-some repeated at the end in case you missed them and similar films. Guide: F-word. Sex Nudity (Vanessa Leigh, Brianna Heller)

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.
