The Martins are an idea family, posting family updates and achievements online. Stan (Dave Davis) was driving his son (Beau Boyd) home back from baseball when a car accident killed his son. His wife Audrey (Karli Hall) blames him and they separate. The Catholic Church contacts Audrey and through a ceremony in a secret Vatican chamber, their son Nicholas is brought back to life. Years later, Stan is a priest and does counseling for people who has been resurrected. When one of the people he is counseling (Michael Villar) goes on a killing spree, he begins to question what has happened and discovers other Resurrected People (RP) have done the same thing and it is all being covered up.
The movie takes place mostly in front of a computer. It is people watching events and chatting online. I am not a fan of these type of films. If you want to make a movie, make a movie. If I want to watch my computer, I will watch my computer, not yours. I am guessing there is some modern metaphor in all of this. If there is one, it was poorly done.

Great little movie. A good thriller mystery and thought provoking.
I'm not a fan of horror so I went into this kind of wary due to it being classified as "horror" and it being called "Resurrected". Turns out this is misclassified. It's not horror, it's a thriller mystery ("who dunnit? What's going on?) with elements of sci-fi (scifi due to the literal resurrection bit).
The format is different: you see it all through the viewpoint of facetime, webcams, youtube videos and cctv. It's very effective, sleek and well done, just like the movie "Searching" but better dues to the variety of mediums used. In some ways it makes you "part of the story".
In this age of AI, video calls, virtual reality and cloning capabilities growing at a rather frightening pace, this movie is very relevant in a lot of ways. Asking some very interesting "what if" questions and a lot of interesting ethical questions too. Add the Catholic church into the mix and you have a really great thought provoking piece.
The first 10 min you're like "meh this looks cheap, the acting is terrible, I know already what's going to happen". I'm really happy I stuck it out for 15 minutes or so because after that you are in for a rollercoaster! The lead actor is horrible in the 1st 10 min not because he's a terrible actor but because his character is horrible. But just wait 15 min like I said. I was very positively surprised. His character arch is very interesting and not a fake "hero's journey" either, a very human one. The teenage son has zero afect, but guys, by the end of the movie you understand why! The Bishop is great and from start to finish you don't know if he is good or evil. Not everything is black and white in this movie.
I'm not sure why some are rating it so low. I suspect they gave up during the first 15 min and maybe just skipped around afterwards if anything. Don't. The layers of this story are presented in order for a reason.
In normal times I would give it a solid 7, 7.5. But I'm putting it at 9 in the hopes of bringing the average slightly up and encouraging others to watch it. T
his is a great B movie like we used to have in the 90s and early 2000s. It's a pity we don't have more of those. Do watch it if you want a good thriller mystery "who dunnit? What is going on?".
