Besides the ending, this film was a nice change of pace for the genre
Michael (Peter Cilella) is committed to getting his best friend Chris (Vinny Curran) to sober up and get his life back on track. But what begins as an attempt to save his friend’s life quickly takes an unexpected turn as the two friends confront personal demons, the consequences of past actions, and forces beyond their control. Expertly balancing dark humor with genuine thrills and unexpected pathos, Resolution is an utterly unique cinematic experience that defies genre classification.Resolution was an utterly mind-blowing experience that has a fantastic twist to the horror genre. To be honest it’s more of a trippy suspense/drama with quaint and small horror elements thrown in the mix. The story is completely involving with two lead characters that you can connect to, making the mysterious and creepy going ons all the more effective. The film starts off pretty slow with an anti climatic ending, and doesn’t have that much if any action, but the unique outcome, engaging and riveting characters and plot twist, make the viewing semi worth it.
The performances from Vinny Curran and Peter Cilella were breakthrough and organic and you believe their story and friendship. Peter plays Michael Danube, a soon to be dad who decides to take one last trip to visit and help his drug addicted friend Chris Daniels played by Vinny, who isolated himself in a remote shack. Michael decides to show some tough love when Chris refuses to go to rehab and soon after handcuffs Chris to a metal bar to force him to detoxify. Michael starts to then experience strange and unexplained happenings when he discovers some reel playback footage. From there on it’s a trippy ride and it’s the type of film that you probably need multiple viewings to figure it all out, but the scenario is so refreshing from the norm that this genre usually brings us.
Director, Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead have crafted a one of a kind, surreal suspense flick. A real breakthrough effort from them that will have you scratching your head, spooked and anxious to see how it will turn out. Unfortunately the conclusion just didn’t really pay off for me and just ended way too soon just when things started to get really good. For first time directors though, I think they are exciting and brilliant new talent and can’t wait to see what they have in store for us next.
Overall, Resolution was different, freaky and has two likable leads and I was intrigue through most of it but the ending just didn’t sit well with me. Recommended if you enjoy films like Cookers, or just want to watch something different from the genre for a change. 6.5 out of 10
A horror junky who thought he had seen it all. Thank god for Resolution
For the incredibly stupid front page reviewer here (it’s not even a review really, just whining with no substance by somebody who doesn’t seem to like or recognize horror.), I’m not affiliated with the film in any way, feel free to look at my other reviews. I’m just a horror junky that thought he had seen every horror movie worth watching, and now that i’ve seen this, maybe I have.This movie is really creative. Without giving away too much it definitely broaches other themes that have been covered by other movies, it reminded me a bit of Inland Empire and 13B, in theme only, not content and while it’s a somewhat familiar theme it goes in a very different direction with it. It’s very well paced and does absolutely amazing jobs of foreshadowing and just piling on the atmosphere and dread so well that at one point I almost didn’t want to see what was going to happen, the ending completely took me by surprise.
It’s clearly a zero budget indie movie but you would hardly know it to watch it, it’s well shot and the cinematography is really good. My only issue is a script one, I thought the main characters dialog and decisions dealing with the crazy events of the film were oddly nonchalant and downright frustrating at times but then again it would have made the movie impossible if he had done what most sensible people would as a reaction to some of the events which is to call the cops lol.
This is absolutely fantastic psychological horror. Bravo to the directors and everybody involved with this. I rarely gush like this in these reviews but there’s a reason Resolution has gotten so much hype from horror specific movie sites. It’s THAT good.
Since there’s no plot synopsis, i’ll give a brief one. A man is invited by his ex best friend to his cabin out in the boonies. He knows his best friend is pretty much a rock bottom meth addict and he’s rebuffed all his attempts prior to get him into rehab so he shows up with a stun gun and a pair of handcuffs, chains him to a pipe in the dilapidated shack he lives in and is going to stay with him while he detoxes. Strange people live around there and every day he feels he’s being lead to strange things like records, books, journals and old film. Things get more weird from there.
