Resurrected

This film does nothing but set the stage for a good movie. Maybe they'll make a part 2 and explain any of this mess (doubtful, with the ratings of this movie). I've never walked out of a movie with more questions, and zero answers, than this. Here's a few:

• What's the FBI's involvement? And/or local police?

• What does that have to do with the Vatican?

• How are they resurrecting people?

• What is the importance of Bishop Hill? He seems shady. Why is he hanging around the Martin family so much? No idea - no answers???

>> Just from Father Flynn's call:

• "Priest, are you one of them? Do you know WHAT THEY are planning?" (I still don't have an answer to 'what' and 'they' are referring to!)
• "The frequencies have mutated, don't you understand?" (NO, and it's never explained?)
• "The 'Hughanauts' (sp?) tried to warn us." (Never even mentioned again in the movie)
• "You can't stop the 'WARRIORS' you fool... ...they're multiplying, soon they'll be everywhere... ...they're coming for me ... too late, they're INSIDE me now." (Meaning = not a person in the house, but something INSIDE of him. What got into him?? I'll never know?)

This call made the whole thing sound supernatural. But, the ending just seems to refer to a webpage on the dark web, meaning real people? (I won't add spoilers) So confusing!

RECOMMENDATION: Skip it! Unless you like watching movies that confuse you, only to leave you hanging with zero answers!

The overall plot of this movie is quite absurd to say the least, but me and my partner had a lot of fun watching it because of it.

All the people who mentioned "bad acting" in their reviews must have been watching a completely different movie than me. The acting was really solid from all of the actors. It was far better than in most of such movies.

It was also fun seeing that the director wasn't afraid to make a movie that openly criticizes the Catholic church and the way that a lot of people perceive it, so as nothing more than a huge criminal organisation hiding in plain sight.

If you like the found footage genre, you'll definitely like this movie. My partner loves this genre and even she said that it's one of the best ones she ever watched!

I have mixed feelings about this movie. The story could have been something if it was more elaborated towards the end. Now you're left with unanswered questions, not really a positive thing to me. What I didn't like, and it's not the first time I've seen movies shot like that lately, is the whole filming of a computer, going from one social media platform to another, from one call to another, or some googling, and that for the entire movie. Let just keep it at it is boring and looks cheap. I know it's a low budget movie and to be honest it shows. Add to that that I had to watch a German version of this movie where they had all written words in German without subtitles and it got even more annoying. I have some German knowledge but to have to read and translate what is showing on the screen in a movie where 90% of the time it's just like looking at your computer screen, let just say it wasn't a pleasant way to relax and watch a movie. Please just stop filming movies like this, we already spent enough time on our computers, tablets, smartphones etc...

Ghost Pirate recommended this movie and mentioned it was filmed under what seemed like pandemic protocols, relying heavily on FaceTime, computers, and phone footage. Given the storyline, I was not sure they could pull it off under those constraints; but I honestly feel like they did. The use of FaceTime didn't seem forced, but rather like it was part of this heavily internet -reliant dystopian world where the film takes place. Was the movie perfect? No, but I think it did a great job. Some movies have great acting but poor script, great editing and terrible storyline, but this movie seems to be pretty solid on all metrics.

I was really surprised to see how good this movie turned out to be, seeing as it is so lowly considered here on IMDB.

The movie deserves a much higher rating being that it has such an original story, solid writing, acting, pacing, and follow-through from beginning to end.

Joe Rechtman does a fantastic job, and it's enjoyable from beginning to end.

I found the immediate premise interesting and something significant to most people, which is what happens after death, and what could happen if we were able to resurrect, and all the complexities that go along with it.

The pitfalls, the power, the problems, and the promise of second chances.
