Resurrection

About This Movie

Resurrection (2016) offers a unique spin on the horror genre, blending historical context with supernatural elements. The film immerses you in the bleak atmosphere of Buenos Aires during the 1871 yellow fever epidemic, which adds a layer of dread that feels very palpable. It’s interesting how the film explores themes of faith and desperation through the young priest’s eyes, forcing him to confront not only the illness around him but also the darkness within. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it builds tension effectively. The practical effects are notable, creating a visceral experience that enhances the horror without relying too heavily on CGI. Performances, while perhaps not standout, carry a weight that complements the grim narrative nicely. It’s definitely a piece that sticks with you.
