Michael Melski's The Child Remains (2017) is a really scary addition to horror territory, all about the dark secret that lies behind the pretty, and it happens in a deserted bed-and-breakfast in the hinterlands of rural Nova Scotia. Using this secluded site as its space and iron coffin, this is a powerful movie dealing with guilt, past trauma, and the supernatural. It does not really bring any new subjects to light but is nonetheless a moody atmospheric piece that, for the most part, drives its successes in the subtleties of its tension-fueled narrative and visually compelling imagery.
Narrative structure and themes
The Child Remains discusses how past terrors can have gloomy effects. To this end, Craig and other writers devised a story of a couple—Juliette (Suzanne Clement) and her partner, Daniel (Allan Hawco)—who, on a parental journey, begin to uncover the horrific history of the building they are staying at. In the course of putting together disturbing secrets associated with a child's decades-old disappearance within the premises, a subsequent chain of supernatural events is activated.
Not just for the sake of putting it on-screen during viewing, the main mode of treatment here is trauma, its circularity, its saturation as it penetrates, stays long, haunting, lingering, infecting places and people long after the actions themselves have passed. The entire movie is one gigantic, wicked playgoer pun on the fact that the sins of the past never truly stay buried, and rather, they keep haunting the living. It's as though the film is trying to say that trauma is more than simply one thing or another; it is kind of numinous power, conjured up in a savage, ghostly guise.
Sound Design & Elements of Horror
While most films came close to being good, The Child Remains took the cake when it came to sound design and how it added to the horror of the film. Ambient, subtle sounds—creaking floorboards, faraway whispers, and the silence of the remote inn—intensify the tension and augment the evil undertones in this film. Some sounds seem to be just beyond the bearable range of hearing—muted screams, breathing in the walls—really make it feel on the verge of claustrophobic, building dread within the film.
The horror elements themselves tend towards the psychological, withholding in the escalation of supernaturals until it creeps up into the most brazen moments of blood and shock, turning the horror almost on the edge. The keeping up of almost subliminal suggestiveness would sell itself as great in impressive tension where neither jump scares nor shock value were keys. It does limit the movie somewhat for the audience seeking a more visceral brand of horror.
Acting
She does balance Juliette, because absolutely at one moment she could be vulnerable, and very quiet, and serene. Suzanne Clement is the stand-out, capturing perfectly what can be called the inner turmoil of a woman coping with not just a dead child, the current frailties of continuing pregnancy unknowns, but also the unraveling of that truly horrible mystery about the bed-and-breakfast. It is her melancholy fragility that grounds the emotional center of the film with determination.
Allan Hawco as Daniel is a solid counterpoint, but this performance is less intense and less enraptured than that of Clement. The character of Daniel is designed more as an audience surrogate, with him questioning the supernatural happenings but, at base, facilitating Juliette's emotional arc.
Melange, Pacing, and Comparison with Other Horror Cinema
The Child Remains has successfully constructed intentional slow pacing to build tension toward the conclusion of the film itself.
Last words
The Children Remains portrayed a new voice for the haunted-house sub genre, including all typical inoculations, emotionalism, good characters, and calculatingly drawn portrayals. It would appear to be scheduled at a snail's pace with necessary minimal tension to where fans of creature-feature horror might want for a more traditional haunting narrative, although it gets padded marks for walking a tightrope between reticence and elocution that many seekers might appreciate. It's nothing too scary but really does impress upon the viewer the final emotional discord resulting from trauma, adept and beguiling from the standpoint of being an easily accessible but really disquieting horror movie. In the psychological horror sense, The Child Remains also yields well, so these dark and haunted bygones are worth a visit.
