Leave your thoughts about They Remain.
| SciFiNowAnton Bitel[The film] pitches its tent in a disorienting space between nature and cult(ure), as Sean Kirby's initially lyrical camerawork takes on an increasingly hallucinatory urgency, and Keith falls prey to paranoia delusion. |
| The LensAndrew WyattThey Remain has atmosphere in spades; unfortunately, there's remarkably little plot to go along with all the mood. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinThey Remain starts out in the realm of science, but it belongs in the subgenre of horror films... It is a very worthy addition to the category. |
| The RingerAdam NaymanWhat They Remain lacks in novelty it more than makes up for in poisonously paranoid atmosphere. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis cleverly made thriller creeps up on the audience with an understated sense of horror. |
| IndiewireEric KohnThey Remain, the new thriller from director Philip Gelatt (“The Bleeding House”) hews closely to some predictable beats, but it’s an engrossing exercise in boiling familiar ingredients down to pure, unbridled creepiness. |
| The A.V. ClubAlex McLevyBeyond the performances, They Remain is uneven. The film uses a series of innovative, old-school visual tricks to create a surreal and hallucinatory vibe, and when something works, it’s powerful and discomfiting. |
| Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayThis movie remains subtle throughout, emphasizing the tenuousness of reality and the unmooring isolation of the bush. |
| The New York TimesBen KenigsbergThey Remain, directed, edited and scripted by Philip Gelatt, from a short story by Laird Barron, shows that it’s possible to a make an engrossing genre piece on limited resources. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesA slow-burn psychological thriller like They Remain requires patience. It seems to be more about mood and paranoia than about plot or easy scare. |
