Argentinian Horror Suspense: A step in the right direction
7 January 2016
Another surprise from the Argentinian genre films after Kryptonita. This time is a Gothic horror, or i should say real horror/suspense with no stupid screamers or a clichéd story. In 19th century Argentina the yellow fever strikes leaving tons of casualties, among them is the brother of our protagonist which is at the brink of death just as the young priest (Martin Slipak) arrives to his family house. As death begins to corner him, the young priest will begin to question his faith in the all mighty while Quiste, the life long family servant, is around to help him...or end him.

Resurrreccion is a smart suspense film with quite an original story with plenty of twist and turns. Even if sometimes the film manages to use certain cheap narrative resources to get its point across its still a clever, good looking horror film. Some CGI is notorious but the effects are great for the most part as are the amazing couple of set/locations. Acting for the most part delivers, with a highlight on the character of Quispe, one of the most interesting of the few characters there are.
