Resurrection
A jaded homicide detective has been put on the case of a ruthless killer in the city of Chicago, who leaves a trail of horribly mutilated and dismembered corpses along with perversely ironic biblical quotes.
Why it matters
A grim, rain-soaked serial killer thriller that attempts to marry biblical symbolism with visceral body horror, but stumbles in execution.
- For fans of ’90s serial killer procedurals craving gore over subtlety — Resurrection leans hard into mutilation and shock.
- The killer’s twisted mission to “rebuild the boy of Christ” offers a dark, if muddled, riff on religious obsession and body horror.
- Chicago’s drenched streets and bleak atmosphere echo Se7en’s tone but without comparable narrative depth or polish.
- Clunky policing and underdeveloped motives frustrate, yet the film’s unapologetic brutality may satisfy those who prioritize gore and grim visuals over story coherence.
