VOD REVIEWS: Philip Gelatt's THEY REMAIN takes you for a terror-filled hallucinatory trip into the woods
Combined with Kirby’s imagery, that Lovecraft feel is more than complete – it makes us really, really uncomfortable. They Remain leans heavily on such classic audiovisual tropes which can evoke everything from Universal Monsters to the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland, but bent towards that Dunwich Horror sort of ethos. Which is to say – there’s nothing cartoonish or “safe” about the film’s horror.
