The Resurrected
“Death used to be the end. Now it's only the beginning...”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 54, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A private investigator follows a scientist's increasingly unpleasant family research into places that need much better lighting. Dan O'Bannon's Lovecraft adaptation combines detective work with grotesque practical discoveries. It is solid horror with pulpy edges, and the basement is absolutely not a casual sightseeing stop.
