Review

"The horror in Resolution is effective because it's well-crafted, but it's greatly heightened by the fact that its two central characters matter. Chris and Michael really do come across as lifelong friends, at least at one time close to the point of basically being brothers. There's a chemistry, a rapport, a genuine bond that's rarely glimpsed in horror. There are layers and dimensions to these characters that transcend two or three word stock descriptions. The usual Junkie's Running Dry clichés like the pale, gray makeup and hollow eyes you're probably picturing are all noticeably absent; hell, Chris is the funniest and most charismatic guy in the movie. Resolution greatly benefits from having such an outstanding cast" - Adam Tyner, DVD Talk
