Resurrection Blu-ray Review

Score: 64

from 2 reviewers

Review Date:

While 'Resurrection' offers moments of gripping storytelling with solid audio-visual quality, its unoriginality and cheesy camera angles hinder its impact.

Disc Release Date

DTS-HD MA

Video: 68

Resurrection's Blu-ray features an AVC-encoded 1080p HD transfer sourced from a 2K scan of the 35mm interpositive, capturing its moody, decay-driven aesthetic with superb preservation of grays, blacks, and occasional bright signage. Skin tones and details like Lambert's rough skin are natural and sharp, with heavy, film-like grain enhancing its noir essence.

Audio: 68

The DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio mix in 'Resurrection' prioritizes clear dialogue and sharp scoring cues, maintaining suspense through precise instrumentation. While bass and surround elements are restrained, they provide modest impact during select moments, resulting in a front-heavy, yet effective auditory experience.

Extra: 61

The Blu-ray extras for "Resurrection" comprise 71 minutes of insightful interviews, where Jonathan Potts and Robert Joy reflect on their acting experiences, while Russell Mulcahy discusses directorial choices and Jim McGrath explores the orchestral score, although Mulcahy's remarks remain notably surface-level.

Movie: 46

Resurrection, while boasting solid performances by Lambert and Orser and cinematographer Johnathan Freeman's moody noir visuals, falters as an uninspired thriller emulating Se7en with clichéd motifs and Mulcahy's distracting music video aesthetics. Despite its derivative nature, the film delivers entertaining moments amidst its predictable narrative.
