Three friends walk side by side across a desolate post-apocalyptic wilderness in Jack Roberts' indie flick Remnants. There is no safe place, no security and no certainty in their journey as they avoid the undead who roam the once-bustling streets, towns and communities that now lay empty and silent; they only have each other, their weapons and the hope of survival against all odds. Filmed over eight years, Roberts' hand-held movie, co-written by Dakota Sawyer, is a taut and beautifully shot road trip horror from its opening scenes, with solid performances from its lead cast, Ryan Wesen, Jack Roberts and Rebi Paganini. As with all low-budget passion projects, the commitment, artistry on a shoestring and dedication on display from all involved is admirable. But there are also times when the narrative stumbles, never allowing us to gain a complete picture of each character, their motivations and their connection, despite some beautifully staged one-on-one conversations during moments of calm reflection. However, there are also moments when Remnants soars above the budget restrictions surrounding it in the tension it manages to generate, particularly within its final act, which owes much to Romero's Night of the Living Dead. In direction, score, performances and cinematography, there is much to admire in Roberts' film, and while it may not tread new ground, there are moments of brilliance in this indie zombie horror.
