Resurrection is a 1999 horror/thriller/Neo-noir film directed by Russell Mulcahy.

Plot

Detective John Prudhomme, a Cajun transferred to Chicago, is assigned to investigate the savage murder of a man who has bled to death from a severed arm. A message, "He Is Coming", written in blood on the victim's window, is a dark, foreboding clue. After two more victims with missing body parts are discovered, Prudhomme realizes he is on the trail of a serial killer who is using the missing body parts to reconstruct the body of Christ.

Filming Locations

Some of the film was shot in Chicago, Illinois and New Orleans, Louisiana, but most of it was filmed in Toronto, Canada.

Reaction

"Resurrection" was released in the fall of 1999 on cable television in the United States. In other countries such as France, Spain and Switzerland, it was shown in theatres. In France, it was a modest success with nearly 400,000 film admissions. The film was quite popular in Spain, with 1,198,684 admissions.

Critical reaction has been mixed. Marc Bernardin of Entertainment Weekly called the film "woefully derivative" but "well-crafted." [ [http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,271649,00.html Review] , Marc Bernardin, Entertainment Weekly, November 12, 1999] John Fallon of Arrow in the Head called it "a taunt, clever thriller, directed with kinetic style and energy" and "one of the more entertaining serial killer movies on the block." Fallon added, "If you can get past the similarities with "Seven", you will surely enjoy this razor sharp, nasty flick." [ [http://www.joblo.com/arrow/reviews.php?id=723 Review] , Publication] Chuck O'Leary of FulvueDrive-in.com said the film is "a blatant rip-off of "Seven", but pretty scary and unsettling in its own right." ["Resurrection" review, Chuck O'Leary, FulvueDrive-in.com, March 9, 2006] Carlo Cavagna of About Film called "Resurrection" "an entertaining movie," remarking that "the cinematography is quite good by any standard, and the writing is decent enough to keep you interested." Cavagna felt that the plot was "by-the-numbers," but added that it [has] a new twist on the killer’s motivation."
