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!

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...

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.

Is the acting the greatest? No. What makes this movie interesting is the story, the idea itself. That kind of saves the whole movie. It is an interesting story: resurrection... What would happen to the world, if we really could resurrect people... This movie made me think about that. How would people react to it? How would the world look like? And like the movie itself discusses too: Who would be entitled to it? So yes, I do think the movie is worth a watch for the story. And this new concept of making movies with online cameras/Facetime only, I find interesting too. This type of content becomes more popular. Seen worse. The acting isn't the greatest, but overall worth a watch if you find the storyline itself intriguing then you won't be too bored.

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.
