for year we have be watch every horror film that come out and from the dull hollywood retread like saw 2 and to awful indie release that be completely unmatchable . we suffer through all of bad film in hope of find little gem like dark remains . we manage to catch a screening of this film at shriekfest 2005. the audience love it and i believe it end up win the award for the best film . while it may not have the budget or star power of studio film and it pack a serious punch in the creepy atmosphere and scare category . the acting and cinematography be top notch and but it the direction that make this film worth the view . the story and character develop at just the right pace to provide some fantastic scare . the editing and visual fx be also top notch . and while many horror film do not manage to use music to their benefit and the score for dark remain only add to it creepiness . i know the film have show at a bunch of festival and but none have be near me and so i can not wait to hear when it will finally be come out on dvd . trust me and even if youre sick of the current state of horror film and give this one a try . you would not regret it .
