Good movie but grossly overrated

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Since this movie has quite a good score for a horror movie and it had a lot of good reviews, I thought I would give it a try.I'm a big horror movie fan and I can say that this movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. It's a really low budget movie where basically nothing happens. In the last 15 minutes it's starting to get slightly more interesting, and yet the end was disappointing too. So my recommendation is - don't watch this movie and waste your time like I did.

I bought this on DVD awhile back, 2013 time & never got round to watching it, though bought it as it stated it was a horror & looked good, it reminded me of Eli Roth's Cabin Fever (which is a sh!t load better than this film & I'll explain why further down...) & so I bought it & had it on my shelf for 2-3 years before getting round to watching!Well & wow... where to start... well uh... nothing happened!!! Literally!!! 94 minutes of a 2 guys 1 of which is a base head & the other which is an annoying sh!t helping his druggie pal on the road to a new as he tries to get him of the drugs! That's it! For 94 minutes, with... Drum Roll... Fillers! Yes! Fillers of a couple of the druggies friends, some cash exchanging/threats, weird bits of footage with disturbing visuals via cassettes/records/film reels & last but not least, the druggies friends walking through the wilderness! Wow! That's it!I'd say perhaps the biggest insult is how highly it's rated! Aside from idiot reviewers on this site & others who must've been drunk or stoned while watching this, or have never watch it at all! It also proves for the 2nd time this year that RT is as fake as a pair of porn stars t!tties! It has it as 100% on that website! It really is infuriating as the reviews on here, there & everywhere are fake! Fake!!! How this piece of crap can be rated highly, let alone 100% is beyond me! Why lie is my question!? Either people have been paid a lorry load of £££ or they, like I said, where hammered & or stoned! Even this year as I'm writing it's 100% & the other insult, it was also marketed as a horror! There was f*#k all Horror in it! Not to mention how it stated on the box it was what Cabin Fever should've been! Wow! Just wow!I just simply don't get why a lot of people like this sh!te! It's just hair rippingly annoying! It was just like a plane that wouldn't or should I say couldn't take off! Every time something happened like the guy finding a piece of evidence with footage on it never came to anything! It was a jumble up mess as their was no real story-line going on! What was the story!? What was the footage!? What was it!? What was the point!? Damn!! I mean there was nothing even remotely interesting about this film it simply made no sense whatsoever! There was no point at all & there was loads of questions & plot holes! I think it is safe to say the reviews are fake! I'm sure of it as I simply cannot see whats so good about this tangled mess of a film that makes 0 sense!The ending was the only great bit...! Because it ended! Yes this film finally ended though the ending was as crap as the film it wasn't surprising though again, it didn't explain sh!t! Even as the film began it seemed to rattle on for 20 minutes until I found that for the next hour & a half it was going to be nothing more than gob sh!te dialogue & stupid filler clips! This would've been better as a short film & a thriller with a good few tweaks here & there! 94 is both an insult & a OTT joke! I mean I was yawning & bored sh!tless it was just astonishing! I give this joke of a film 1/10! It falls flat on it's face from the get go & pretty much goes absolutely nowhere with nearly every attempt being made to pick up get going! It's as if they're using their "mistakes" or stock/b-roll footage attempts as fillers to make the feature longer & pretty much, to include them in the finished film alone is just stupid! Not to mention the reason why it made f*#k all sense throughout! Never seeing it again! Don't waste you time! Watch Cabin Fever instead, it sh!tes all over this pathetic wannabe piece of sh!te!

Is this a low-budget movie? It sure feels like one. Bad acting, worse dialogues and a very stupid story. Your neighbours with their cam could do a better than this.It's about a man who wants to help his friend getting clean of drugs. In fact a rehab and this movie have a lot in common. Both are hard to bear and require a strong willpower to get through. But unlike a rehab, you will still feel bad after finishing "Resolution", not only during it.If you want to see countless weirdos walking through a forest, exchanging lines as if they were on some trip, then go for it. There's supposed to be some mystery here. Random things and videos appear. So our hero has nothing better to do than investigate the hell out of it. He is very eager and dedicated, for no particular reason.In the last 20 minutes or so it starts getting bearable, but before you can get into the right mood to enjoy anything, it's over. With many, many questions left behind. One of them being: What did I watch? And why? Do yourself a favour and skip this one.

If you've ever seen photographic film being developed, you will agree that it's a slow but painstaking process. And no matter how many photos you've developed that way, it's always rewarding when you see the picture emerging into existence. Resolution works the same way, only here the real picture emerges well after you've seen the film. And then it continues to play on your mind by taunting you into reassessing what you've just seen, over and over again.Just like various chemicals used to develop film, there are several catalysts at work in this multi-layered but slow cooking pot boiler. Distributed as a horror-mystery thriller, none of this is remotely apparent when we are first introduced to lead characters Mike (Peter Cilella) and Chris (Vinny Curran). They are best friends and over time we get to know them fairly well. What's apparent is that Chris is a meth addict and Mike wants to save his friend by forcefully inducing withdrawal through cold turkey. Holed up in a depilated shack in the middle of nowhere, Chris is bitter about it but Mike is patient and persistent. Their bickering goes on for a while, sometimes funny, sometimes drab, until you feel it playing out like a pretentious 'friend in need' story. You, the viewer, can be forgiven for thinking this is getting all too boring. You want more drama, peril, action. You keep wondering why the filmmakers said this film is a horror thriller. And just then it starts - things go from bad to worse between Mike and Chris as they are unwittingly drawn into a situation that is not only dangerous, but gets weirder and weirder by the minute."It's an unusual story with a beginning, middle and end", a key character tells Mike when he goes looking for answers. This is a pivotal moment in the film that reveals a major clue and one that will come in handy by the time we get to the seemingly absurd ending. But Mike doesn't get it, and if you've not been paying attention, neither will you as the viewer. It's not that Resolution tries to be a film meant for rocket scientists, or prides itself as a mind-bender. For a low budget indie horror film, the concept is not only off-the-beaten-path, but one that requires literally thinking outside the box to fully appreciate its making. If I were to compare, directors Justin Benson (also the scriptwriter) and Aaron Moorhead uses a ploy similar to the one that got The Cabin in the Woods a lot of mixed reactions. Viewers of that film either loved it or hated it. Cut from the same cloth, the concept here is fresh and astoundingly visceral, two qualities that are hard to come by in contemporary horror cinema. But if horror cinema has a new sub-genre, then this is the film to have created it and along with it, a new monster you'll never see during the film. Figuring out who or what that monster is, is undeniably what sets this film apart with a euphoric high.
