• authentic

  A fine addition to the FF genre. The best thing going for this film is it's feel of authenticity...you can almost get immersed in the story and forget that it is fiction...which is want you want when the movie is questioning whether the original movie was real or not...

• Pseudo Documentary/Found Footage done right!

  Do you remember Karl Atticus? What happens when two filmmakers ask a simple question about a local director who died under mysterious circumstances decades ago? Mortal Remains follows the journey of two filmmakers trying to uncover the mystery of Karl Atticus, a Maryland filmmaker responsible for one of the biggest film urban legends in Maryland history. It all starts off lighthearted enough as Chris and Mark innocently enough begin to unravel the mystery of Karl Atticus' lost film MORTAL REMAINS. The film was only screened once to a local crowd and was never seen again. All traces of the film and Karl are erased from local records and the mere mention of his name brings dread to those who know of him and his films. The more they ask, the more they find themselves drawn deeper into not just the world of a local legend but something even more sinister. Strange occurrences begin to plague those who know the legend and to those around them. The search for the truth, and the film (long believed to be destroyed) provides the viewer with a terrifying experience that can only be attributed to Karl Atticus. With found footage films becoming more common place it's easy to discard this as another run of the mill FF film. This film has none of the tropes and clichés found in today's found footage films. From almost the start the atmosphere of this film is intense and does not let up until the end. No film since The Blair Witch Project has terrified me like MORTAL REMAINS. This film is very well done and never once are you subjected to overly done clichés. The best thing to do is to see this film, you won't regret it. But be careful when you ask someone 'Do you remember Karl Atticus."

• Worst FF movie I have seen to date

  derektbshi2019-03-03

  Terrible. All other reviews are goating you into wasting 98 minutes of your life. I can't get my 98 minutes back, but I can save you yours. NOT HORROR. Sad attempt at mockumentary. 0 scary moments. Reviews say cult classic; I assume because it is a movie about a cult, since it is far from the expected definition of cult classic. You could fall asleep a dozen times trying to complete this tedious film. RUN AWAY! Horror is what my wife and I watch, and F.F. is her preferred delivery method. Heed this warning. I created an IMDB account just to blast this film.
