Not an overly impressive foray into the supernatural...

Well, the concept idea of "The Child Remains" definitely had potential, and this had the possibility to be a good movie.

However, writer and director Michael Melski managed to deliver a movie that was unfathomably slow paced in its storytelling. So slow, in fact, that it was quite an ordeal to sit through the movie. And truth be told, the movie suffered terribly from this slow pace of storytelling, because by the time something worthwhile started to happen - in the last third of the movie - it was way too late, the damage had been irrevocably been done to the movie.

The acting in "The Child Remains" was actually good enough, taking into consideration the limitations imposed upon the performers. And because this movie had such a small cast ensemble, there was much more pressure on the actresses and actors to perform and deliver convincingly, and they actually managed to do that well enough, even with the plot, script and storyline working against them every step of the way.

I managed to sit through the ordeal that is known as "The Child Remains". And as the movie came to an end, I was left with an overwhelming sensation of having wasted a significant amount of my life on watching this movie, because everything felt like it was mere filling crammed in between the start and ending of the movie.

Ultimately, "The Child Remains" failed as a horror and a thriller, though the mystery aspect of it actually worked out well enough. My rating of "The Child Remains" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.

Another stinker I wish I never watched.

Another movie on IMDb with fake reviews from people involved in the making of this monstrosity, or at least from people knowing somebody that were involved. Everything is very low quality, from directing to acting to special effects. The worst thing about The Child Remains is the acting, it's bad, something you would expect from category Z wannabe actors, which they probably all are. The script is pretty bad as well even though with decent actors and a good director you probably could do something with, but in this case it's just awful. The so-called horror is the kind of horror you would get at a cheap haunted house attraction at the annual town fair, in other words you couldn't scare anybody above five years old. The soundtrack fits perfectly with the movie, cheaply made and annoying. I would avoid it if you like quality horror movies.

Not much horror, but Ok

This is one of those horror films that is all about the mystery, acting and atmosphere but really lacks any real horror. In fact if you go in expecting the usual scares, gore and fright of a typical horror film you are going to be very disappointed. What you do have here is a fairly involved story with several twists (one is pretty easy to guess well ahead of time) that is very loosely based on the real life Butterbox babies scandal. One of the twists thrown in is extremely fictional and doesn't work at all. Up until that point the film is interesting and the 3 leads are excellent. The movie is somewhat creepy , but still one of those movies where an obvious lack of budget means you get lots of scary dolls, which are cheap, and not much else. It's worth a one time watch, I wasn't bored, but calling it a horror film is a stretch. The actual story of the real life maternity home is certainly more sickening and horrifying then this movie is.
