Thanks to films like The Awakening and The Gift, actor Rebecca Hall proved herself to be a compelling force in genre film, with last year's The Night House cementing herself as a powerful and compmanding figure in the horror world. Hall returned to horror for the all-new and unsettling experience Resurrection, which sees her starring alongside Tim Roth.
Screenwriter and director Andrew Seman's jaw-dropping sophomore feature, Resurrection had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Margaret leads a successful and orderly life, perfectly balancing the demands of her busy career and single parenthood to her fiercely independent daughter Abbie. Everything is under control. But that careful balance is upended when an unwelcome shadow from her past, David returns, carrying with him the horrors of Margaret's past.
Over at IndieWire, David Ehrlich notes,"Fiendishly splitting the difference between the kind of low-rent parental vigilante movies that will always live on basic cable, and the kind of high-brow polymorphic freakouts that all but died with Andrzej Żuławski, Andrew Semans' aptly named Resurrection may never quite reach Possession levels of psychic collapse , but it sure gets a hell of a lot closer than the broad familiarity of its setup might lead you to expect.
Alissa Wilkinson at Vox pointed out,"It's probably Sundance's bloodiest horror film this year, and maybe the weirdest, and it's worth coming along for the ride."0commentsAre you looking forward to the new film?
