![]() ![]() ![]() Though not the worst zombie movie ever made, "Steve Nile's Remains" disappoints and bores. REMAINS is mildly watchable but entirely forgettable. There's an undercurrent of black comedy running throughout, but it hurts that the human characters are less than interesting and you never really feel involved or care about what's happening to them. The story is based on a comic by Steve Niles and has some fun with zombies, making them more human than seen elsewhere. ![]() It's all low rent and rather cheesy, but not unentertaining. This is an action-focused narrative with lots of shoot-outs and run-ins with fellow survivors. The casino setting is featured heavily in the film's poster and box art, but is severely underutilised they could have been in any old building. The storyline involves a group of survivors holed up inside a casino after a zombie apocalypse.

REMAINS is yet another zombie movie, not quite as low budget as the very worst of the genre (DEADHEADS or THE ZOMBIE CHRONICLES) but pretty low budget all the same. ![]()
