Ben D *We discuss this movie as a “Shed Selection” on Ep. 141 of TRM.* Resolution is the type of meta-horror that teases threads of distinct sub-genres while leaving more questions than answers come the final shot. Michael (Peter Cilella) visits old friend Chris (Vinny Curran), who is having “substance abuse” issues to say the least. Michael handcuffs Chris to a bar in his squatting quarters for him to “dry out”. Even though Michael’s heart is in the right place, this is an extreme and ill-advised maneuver to get your friend off of drugs. The strange happenings thereafter manifest in the forms of creepy photos and VHS tapes, weird locals (William Oberst Jr., Kurt David Anderson & Skyler Meachem, Justin Benson & Alex Moorehead (who are also the directors)) and a vengeful property owner (Zahn McClarnon). Figures pop in and out of Michael’s stunt and once you think the story is headed down one path, a new one is revealed. Chris and Michael are lovable characters — with Chris having one of the funniest lines I’ve heard in a while concerning whether or not crack is in his coffee — but the plot becomes a little too muddled for this to reach into the (80)s. Critics have contended that this is a story about storytelling itself. Resolution is a heady-horror story that is the opposite of slasher, monster subgenre flicks so many gravitate toward this time of year. If you’re interested in something that requires attention to detail you can discuss later with friends, I definitely recommend this movie. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Audience Member For a low budget movie it was OK. It's pretty slow and I never understood why they couldn't leave. I think the explanation was given but like twice... So I might have missed it. And in the end it didn't matter..? I'm seeing it with a 2024 lens though. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Painfully bad. I don’t understand what people see in this movie. It is not good. I am a cinephile and there was little good to say about this film to be completely honest. It had a decent premise but execution was poor. Poor script, poor acting, low production value, boring direction. The ending was the only interesting part of the movie but was still very unsatisfying. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review Georgan G 3 & 1/4 stars. The name of this film, Resolution, may not be something you achieve with this film. I resolve to let go of previous ideas re genre & what is horror. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/11/23 Full Review Heather L A really great start to something that I feel got out of hand quickly as an already flimsy extended universe. Regardless of what came after, this is a great sci-fi horror. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/11/23 Full Review Brian P This movie really sneaks up on you, and catches you off guard. I knew a little of what I was getting into ahead of time, seeing a few of Benson in Moorehead's other movies, but I was still a little confused until the story started taking some turns. A great movie for their first attempt, and I love that other movie since tie into an ever expanding universe. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
