Plot summary

A docu-thriller that sets out to uncover the details surrounding the life, brief career, and mysterious death of horror filmmaker Karl Atticus, referred to by some as the forgotten father of the "slasher movie." The film includes interviews with various horror historians and aficionados including Eduardo Sanchez (director of The Blair Witch Project), who posits the question: Why, for 40 years, has the story of Karl Atticus been all but eradicated from the annals of cinema history?

authentic

A fine addition to the FF genre. The best thing going for this film is it's feel of authenticity...you can almost get immersed in the story and forget that it is fiction...which is want you want when the movie is questioning whether the original movie was real or not...

Commendable Effort

Very little known, near underground-kind, independently produced and marketed micro budget mockumentary horror, that all sums up to some intrigue for a found-footage horror enjoyer. A flawed, but admirable effort in faux documentary genre, by two directors who are also writers, acting leads, operators, cinematographers, editors, and so on.Filmmakers Mark and Christian are in process of making a documentary about "The Blair Witch Project", when the movie's actual director Eduardo Sanchez raises up a question about infamous Maryland's (same area/town as in "Blair Witch") filmmaker Karl Atticus, a shady guy who made b horror flicks at the turn of the 70's, with rumors about using real corpses for better effects. A cult may be involved as well. Thus, the duo takes up a new project. A movie like "Mortal Remains" only works with good world-building, and there was effort put into that, although there are discussable plot holes here and there, and characters don't always act reasonably, the overall atmosphere creates palpable tension throughout. Majority of the interviewees were up to the acting task, and if there was more script than improv, most lines passed as natural enough. Pretty split feelings on how the journey ends - taking the route of a more genre-conventional, shocking resolution, whereas I would've preferred a little more plot at the expense of scares.After a little post-film research I was surprised to find out they're currently shooting a sequel, although that might've been dragging on for years now. They truly need more lore. The genre spirit is there, so this goes as a sure recommendation to the suckers for handheld pseudo cinema. 6/10.

More then I expected.

When done poorly these types of films suck when done well as this one with a well constructed story and other then one cast member who never stopped grating on me all players did solid if not excellent jobs. These films need the edge players to be convincing and it this movie the crew of the fake movie needed to be convincing or this falls apart. The fake crew of culture shock and the African American ex cop were outstanding what they said and how they said it were completely believable. But the absolute worst person that nearly made me turn it off was the weaslly little cameraman. He from the moment he got beat up never in any situation was so inconsistent. He was to scared to continue then comes back and stamps around and threatens, yelled screams none of it seemed at all natural. He was horrible and if you like this style of film he will be the only obstacle to enjoyment.
