Ressurreição do Mal

No, it's not revolutionary or even 'good', but it IS okay if found footage is your thing and you've run out. The premise is actually interesting, it would make a good big budget movie/or a series! (maybe there is already one, maybe I've missed it?)

But would I watch this again? No.

Would I recommend it? For one viewing yes, if this type of movie is your thing.

Will you miss anything by skipping this movie? Not really, but again, interesting premise!

I feel like the actors did fine with what they had. The face time filming thing wasn't terribly done for what it was, it can usually be worse! It was cleanly made and not a nightmare to get through. I actually cared about the main character.

So over all, not too bad, but I don't think I'd have the free time to spend rewatching this in the face of other films.

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.

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!

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!

Yes, it is a webcam- and chat-based movie. Which makes me wonder how well packed it is with action, that keeps you edge-seated. One third of the time are action scenes, shot again on webcams of all kinds.

Poster on IMDB page contains the poorest possible screenshot from the movie, please just disregard it. You may have your answer why this exact 3D is so rubbish when you watch the movie.

Key strength is a script. It's hard not to give away any detail, let's say the story contains ethical questions around religion, conspiracy theory, and several solid twists. Couple of gory scenes. No horror at all to my personal standards. Performances are better than one would expect.

My only criticism would be around final scenes, when it all breaks loose.. those could have been more.. spectacular, but I believe this is owing to budget limitations only.

Btw, don't skip final titles, the story is continued there.
