The horror thriller Resurrection is bonkers in the best way
Resurrection hinges on a seven-minute monologue that shifts the film from a paranoid psychological thriller into something far stranger and more primal. The tonal gambit writer-director Andrew Semans is attempting in this film is tricky, to say the least. And the whole thing simply wouldn’t work without The Night House’s Rebecca Hall. In Hall’s capable hands, that monologue is laden with dread. In one unbroken shot, her character, Margaret, gives the audience some crucial context by relaying a story from her past — the type of story that makes viewers’ stomachs drop to their knees. Coming from most anyone else, it might just produce giggles.
