Directed by Brian Avanet-Bradley

Victims Cheri Christian and Greg Thompson

 

I'm sitting at the house getting ready for this movie to start , digging in expecting to see a decent movie judging from the synopsis and box art and the directors track record. . Little did I know what was in store for me!

 

 Julie awakens from a bad dream only to find her daughter dead in her bed. In the night someone had broken into their house and mutilated their daughter. Too much to deal with her and her husband Allen retreat to the mountains in hopes of clearing their mind and putting the horrific life behind them, her to work on her photographs; he to write. Seems harmless right? One would think so yet it seems their pain and suffering have awoken something in the mountains and they're not happy. As Julie starts to get into taking her photographs she begins to see images in the exposures and eventually in person thanks to the flash. Sucked in by their spell Julie becomes obsessed with taking their picture while Allen tries to find a way to stop them and save his and her lives. The acting of Cheri Christian  as Julie really sells this movie, she was eerie and creepy.

 

 Not since Ghost Story have I seen such a solid ghost story. The only thing I've seen come close is a movie called Conjure directed by Matt Bush. . DARK REMAINS has all the elements of a good ghost story. Brian Avanet-Bradley has given us a damn fine film to watch. The acting was good and the ghosts were freakin phenomenal! The lighting hues add just the right element as well. Together they were creepy and make for an effectively scary as hell movie. I could go on and on about the things that make this such an excellent flick but then I'd ruin it for you. Just know it's fucking phenomenal and has some really badass ghosts who move all creepy and shit. It's a must get. It may very well have been the best indie flick Unspeakable Magazine saw in 2006! It may make its way onto the special UMAG shelf of celebrated greats of all time! Pay attention to this guy…He's on to something. I know I'm anxious to see what he can do next.
