Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayMar 8, 2018
This movie remains subtle throughout, emphasizing the tenuousness of reality and the unmooring isolation of the bush. Read full review

The New York TimesBen KenigsbergMar 1, 2018
They 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. Read full review

The A.V. ClubAlex McLevyFeb 28, 2018
Beyond 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. Read full review

IndieWireEric KohnFeb 28, 2018
They 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. Read full review

They Remain is such a slow burn of a film that it fizzles out. It’s one of those movies that mistakes meandering as building tension, and wastes an intriguing presence on weak characters and an overbearing sense that it’s being made up as it goes along. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeMar 1, 2018
A slow burn often works in creep-outs such as this, but here the pacing is a deficit, despite an especially good performance by Harper (of NBC's The Good Place) as the worker whose partner may be turning against him. Read full review

Village VoiceBilge EbiriMar 8, 2018
They Remain wants to unsettle us and invade our brains. Instead, what little power it has vanishes long before the credits roll. What remains is tedium. Read full review

They Remain is a movie that lives down to your worst expectations. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreMay 9, 2018
It’s a staged reading of a horror movie, not a compelling, chilling or even that interesting thriller. Read full review
