It Remains is an atmospheric horror thriller with tremendous acting from a diverse cast featuring both veteran and rookie actors. David Chiang (aka John Gor) shows his powerhouse acting prowess, tackling action scenes with ease despite his advanced age. The main lead Anson Lo surprises with the depth and range of his emotional expressions in key scenes in this film, and is particularly impressive in the final sequences when he has to portray two characters at once through body language, voice, facial expressions, and even his fingers. Completely agree with the @scmpnews film reviewer that Anson Lo made a dramatic acting breakthrough in It Remains. I sincerely believe he deserves a nomination at the HK film awards. The visual production and the sound editing are also highlights of this movie, with nightmarish but sleek imageries and eerie sound effects that haunt the mind. Yet this film is more touching than scary, in its deft depiction of relationships between father and daughter (David Chiang and Summer Chan) and between friends (Anson Lo and Tree Kok). The heart-to-heart talks between these pairs are heartbreaking but sweet. People have commented on the script being a weakness in this film, yet the story is very coherent to me and well-told.
