Remnants has a real charm to it, the same way the first few seasons of The Walking Dead felt, which other reviewers have stated but that's an incredible achievement in the indie market.
Not only does it introduce a new twist on the tried & true "Zombie" genre with the "slivers", but it does so in a way that feels gripping and close to reality. The dialogue especially feels true to life, like a day in the life experience of these three.
Mason, Kyla, and Cash are so real, regular people who have learned to survive in this landscape. You can tell the filmmakers really cared about creating real characters in realistic setting.
Speaking of the setting, what an enrapturing and dystopic world they've built through this dead oceanic town. The score only enriches the feeling of loneliness & tension.
And at the culmination of this slow burn we're rewarded with massive action sprawling all the settings we've been introduced throughout the film, but with much greater stakes.
Independent studios could learn a thing or two from this one.
