A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Blistering performances.
No need to say more. It's definalty worth a watch.
Resolution starring Vinny Curran, Peter Cilella, directed by Justin Benson, and Aaron Scott Moorhead is about a man (Cilella) who receives a strange video of his best junkie friend named Chris(Curran) acting strangely and Michael(Cilella) comes up to the mountains to get his best friend clean of drugs for a week but he soon realizes that there is something very sinister with them. Resolution was a VERY good movie that I had one flaw with THE PACING. Everything else was fantastic in fact I encourage everyone to see this movie!!!!STOP HERE FOR SPOILER FREE REVIEW!!!!! P.S. I think the thing at the end was a malevolent angel or demon.
Nothing happened. There was no horror, nothing scary, just some weirdness like a bad acid trip with some weak acid. The lead actors were excellent and the set made me expect some scary stuff to occur. I am still waiting. Sure, I like to support Indie film makers. When they put out this kind of nonsense my support goes out the window. What a waste of resources. There was a ton of promise at the beginning. Then the film bogged down in cinematic mud. It stayed there. This is a movie for which I'd have wanted my money refunded in a theater. The writers showed me some promise. But I need more than a promise of something good to come. I want to see a good movie.
For a movie where not a great deal happens, I found Resolution an engaging effort. The acting from the main protagonists is compelling, the ambiance suitably unsettling, and odd characters come and go a la "Twin Peaks". Creating a claustrophobic and surreal environment, there was perhaps potential for something rather more than was realised.In truth this is not a horror movie in the modern, conventional sense. There is no gore, no monster, no torture porn. Yet there are moments that are genuinely creepy, and you do at least care about the characters unlike in most horrors of the stalk-and-slash variety.The ending will divide opinion, and nothing is given away here about the somewhat unsatisfying final scenes. Perhaps all will be resolved in a sequel ...
