Normally, Argentine cinema does not usually offer good interesting titles, but there are always exceptions. Resurrección is an interesting case of the attempts that Argentine cinema has to try to venture into genre cinema. Most of these attempts end up being low-budget films, but Resurrection is one of the few attempts that manages to be somewhat decent. The truth is that it is a film with a good production and it shows that it was made in a quite professional manner. They really managed to make a film that manages to respect the 19th century era in certain aspects and give it a gothic style like the Hammer Productions films. The truth is that it even has an interesting plot that can be confusing at times, but you can tell that it is quite influenced by classic Gothic literature. The atmosphere in the plot makes it feel like something based on the works of Edgar Allan Poe and even reminds us of The Fall of the House of Usher. Resurrección is a fascinating proposal despite not being entirely clear, but it is appreciated that it is a film outside of what Argentine cinema normally does. My final rating for this movie is an 8/10.
