Rent Resurrection (2022)

Terrifying - Resurrection review by NW

Ignore that other review. In no way is this film 'misandrist' you might as well say the same of Psycho or Taxi Driver.

Instead this a study of two very damaged people who descend into complete insanity.

Rebecca Hall plays the survivor of Tim Roth's character's abuse and what he did to her, explained in a seven-minute monologue to camera, is beyond horrendous.

Hall's descent into madness is painful, horrifying and sad to watch. Yes she is selfish and unpleasant. Because of what happened to her.

No spoilers, but there's something that gives Roth's character a hold over her and this develops into a somewhat predictable, extremely gory, and morbidly horrifying conclusion that many have taken literally, but is clearly the end result of Hall's insanity.

One of the most genuinely unsettling horror films I have ever seen and I have seen a lot!

Annoying, Silly, Metoo B-Movie which is a cross between a 4th rate horror film & Wonderwoman - Resurrection review by PV

The more I watched this movie the more annoyed I got.

I think this is one of those scripts and films which to be honest would not have been made pre the Metoo movement. Somehow, that has allowed any of rubbish to get made so long is it features lots of 'strong independent' women suffering because of men and manblaming away all day long. The BLM movement did the same for race. This is NOT progress. It's just 'reverse' sexism (or racism), is just plain sexism. Misandry.

I always do the 'equal and opposite' test - I imagine the females here were male and the males were female, and the same plot develops. If such a film were made it would be called sexist and misogyny. Here it is sexist and misandry.

One flimsy 'good male' character exists to allegedly give balance but I am not buying it. Manblaming in every scene then parachuting in one nice male will not hide your true intention. Though I see the writer/director has no other films to his/her/its credit. I have seriously no idea how this film could have been greenlighted, other than the way it ticks on trend tickboxes.

The story if sub Hammer House of Horror on a bad day. No doubt fans will think it a profound character study of a 'stunning and brave' woman survivor suffering a breakdown. Quite frankly, the main character is so selfish and unpleasant, I did not care what happened to her.

Tim Roth is a great actor - he is wasted here playing a man monster, to tick the metoo manblaming box.

Don't waste your time with this B movie, or C movie, or D or Z movie maybe. It's absurd, silly, annoying and, frankly, boring.
