Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Pieces together an irresistible puzzle. Rated: 3/4 Dec 15, 2011 Full Review Jennie Punter Globe and Mail Fascinating, accomplished and surprisingly emotional. Rated: 4/4 Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Radheyan Simonpillai NOW Toronto Who's the street artist behind these tiles? More importantly, who cares? Rated: 2/5 Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Sarah Boslaugh Playback:stl ...a skillful yet fairly ordinary festival film that tells a moderately intriguing story ... Rated: 6/10 Jan 25, 2012 Full Review Liz Braun Jam! Movies If you know nothing about the tiles, the film might play like an urban mini-thriller. It's never entirely satisfying, however, and the filmmakers seem to run out of steam before their story is told. Rated: 2.5/5 Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Cynthia Fuchs PopPolitics.com Resurrect Dead is a consideration of how the material world can intersect with imagined worlds.

Audience Member what a peculiar and sorta darkly jovial journey. it's been called one of the most creepy docs, but really it's a sort of charming and twisted expose of outcast human nature Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Resurrect Dead is not a bad documentary, but it is underwhelming relative to many of the reviews posted. I was expecting something more entertaining in an X-Files way with more effort put into trying to understand what do these weird signs mean. If it were done that way then that would build more suspense as to who it is and what is their purpose. As it is, the documentary is alright but more for a look into the investigative process of a few amateur sleuths. Really more of a reality TV show than a film. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Intriguing subject matter. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A good documentary about a 80's early mystery Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Very underrated documentary Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating doc on a fascinating mystery!
