Remains is a zombie survival horror set in Reno, Nevada, where a mysterious event turns most of the population into flesh-hungry monsters. A small group of survivors barricade themselves inside a casino and fight to stay alive as the city collapses around them. Based on the graphic novel by Steve Niles and Kieron Dwyer, it delivers comic-book horror with a gritty B-movie edge. Remains is a IDW Publishing screen adaptation from 2011, sitting in the wider Comic Movie DB archive as one of the movie entries that helps connect page-to-screen storytelling beyond the obvious cape-and-cowl crowd. The page is especially useful for readers tracking the people involved, with Evalena Marie, Grant Bowler, Lance Reddick, Miko Hughes, Tawny Cypress among the main names connected to the project. Behind the camera, Colin Theys gives the adaptation its shape, helping define whether it leans more into spectacle, character drama, genre thrills or straight-up comic-book chaos. We have rated this 5 out of 10, which makes it a worthwhile entry to revisit when comparing how well comic properties translate across different studios, eras and audience expectations. For SEO and fan discovery, it belongs here because it adds context to the bigger comic movie timeline: not every adaptation has to be perfect, but each one says something about the genre, the audience it was chasing and the kind of stories studios believed could work on screen.
We have rated this 5 out of 10. Remains is not trying to reinvent zombie cinema and honestly that helps it. It leans into practical horror, casino chaos and survival tension without pretending to be prestige television. Grant Bowler gives it a solid centre, while the claustrophobic setting keeps things moving. It is scrappy, violent and unapologetically pulpy. For comic horror fans, it is one of those overlooked adaptations worth digging up.
