One of my all time favorites.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Mark, a graduate student is working on a major tome on myths, and after interviewing the psychiatrist (the great Kurtwood Smith in an awkward little bit part near the beginning and end) who was treating Carl Bryce, a boy who brutally murdered his parents, decides to go on a road trip to the site where it all happened on the chance that the land there might be cursed, an urban myth that would help with his book. Once there with a few friends in tow, they discover that they may not be alone in this generic & bland slasher film.While the opening 'prolog' scene showed promise for the rest of the film, I found my hopes quickly dashed as it turned out highly derivative and had characters who talk and yell to no end that were bland and hard to care about. Yea there's a good scene here and there in the film. But the movie as a whole just failed to work for me. Thankfully I just saw it via Netflix-online view so the only thing I really waisted was my time.My Grade: D+

Witness the modern evolution of the slasher pic: the kids have grown up a little, gotten themselves lives (kinda) and Dark Secrets, the killers are more vague and shadowy than they were before, and the editors all have ADHD. But, once you get beyond that, it's plain to see that Evil Remains doesn't really bring anything new to the table.For instance, we start this ride with a flashback to a brutal crime that occurred 20 years earlier. I ask you, how many horror films made since, say, 1978 have started with essentially the same device? But, let's go with it for now. After seeing an entire family killed, we slide forward to the present, where Mark is planning to investigate the site of the murder with an eye toward debunking the curse that locals believe hangs over the property. He takes along his brother Tyler, an expendable techie, and a pair of lesbians played by a couple of up-and-coming actresses who must not be so up-and-coming anymore, seeing as how they made this film.Of course, anyone who's seen Sorority House Massacre can tell where this is headed. (You mean you haven't seen Sorority House Massacre? For shame!) People get creepy feelings, see and hear weird stuff, and eventually start turning up dead. In the end, one girl is left alive and no one believes her story. Yada, yada, roll credits. But, so that we know that this is a modern slasher, the cast spend their spare time psychoanalyzing each other and trying to sound deep instead of partying and bedhopping like weasels in heat. And, since we're in the post-Blair Witch era, the identity of the killer remains vague and indistinct, more a property of the locale than an actual character.Visually, Evil Remains is a mixed bag. Kind of Robert Altman meets Chris Carter meets digital postproduction and they all go out and have too many drinks and are hung over the next day. Sometimes it works really well, sometimes so much is happening at once in such a dark room that you totally lose track of the action.Overall, while I wouldn't actually recommend this movie, I would call it another perfectly serviceable entry in the long and proud lineage of low-budget slasher pics. And as long as they keep making them, we keep watching them, whether we like it, or not. Pity us.

A little summary of this movie... a student and a few of his friends, a camera man(his brother), sound man(the guy who is supposed to be funny) and two lesbians, go up to a plantation which is supposedly "cursed" to write a thesis. According to the myth.."whoever trespasses will be taken over by some spirit type thing" giving that person urges and filling them with rage... Now first off I must point out that at the end of the movie I thought to myself, "that was it?" The end of the film was lacking... the plot made no sense what so ever and nothing was explained... I guess they just wanted to keep everyone wondering. The filming was kind of shaky.. I don't know if anyone else noticed that. Maybe it was just me? The lighting, in my opinion was terrible. Basically I give this movie a 0.. it left me feeling confused and I'm almost positive I should have turned it off after the first 20 minutes or so.

"Trespassing" will satisfy you if you like horror movies in general, but not if you are a truly horror fan. We already seen movies with the same idea in general like Haute Tension for example which is a bit better than this. But I liked this one and I enjoyed it. It has his strenghts alright but it's not much actually. Well... It is scary sometimes, it's not boring but it's not original. It could have been a total failure but the actors save it. And they do it well. It looks like "Halloween Resurrection" sometimes but I don't know if that's good or bad. "Trespassing" has a lot of action and you may like it as I did. In fact, what else can you expect from a straight-to-video movie? I can say that I recommend it: you may see this sometime just for having a piece of fun!7/10
