Review 4K Movie

Resurrected, directed by Dan O'Bannon, tells the story of private detective John Marsh. One day, a woman approaches him with a request to help her husband, who is conducting strange experiments involving corpses. During the investigation, it turns out that her husband's place has been taken by a black magic sorcerer who was killed in the 18th century. He left behind diaries and notes, which the unfortunate woman's husband used to resurrect him from the dead.

It must be admitted that despite the huge number of films based on the works of cult author Howard Phillips Lovecraft, those that are truly worthy can be counted on the fingers of one hand. One of them is this film by director Dan O'Bannon. The authors of this film have told a truly interesting story that successfully accomplishes two tasks on screen at once. On the one hand, it tells a truly interesting detective story with a powerful plot and a well-developed investigation. On the other hand, it tells another terrifying story with various monsters and the like. The latter is particularly evident in the second half of the film. Taken together, it creates the impression of an exciting and eventful story.

Dan O'Bannon certainly cannot be called a prolific director with a large number of works behind him. However, it is safe to say that throughout the entire screen time, O'Bannon gives the impression of a very experienced director. The film boasts a very smooth and measured narrative. From the very first frames, it sets a powerful atmosphere of suspense, tension, and anxiety, which gradually intensifies as events unfold. This includes the second half of the narrative, when traditional screamers with terrifying monsters in the best traditions of body horror are implanted into the picture.

It is impossible not to note the worthy performance of the trio of lead actors in the persons of John Terry, James Sibbott, and Chris Sarandon. Sarandon is especially good, embodying two characters on screen at once and making them both terrifying and attractive at the same time.
