Director: Andrew Semans
Two Chicago homicide detectives are pulled into a case far stranger than a typical murder investigation in Resurrection, a 2025 crime-horror mystery directed by Andrew Semans.
What is Resurrection about?
Detectives John Prudhome and Andy Hollingsworth, the central figures of the investigation, are assigned to a gruesome killing that quickly proves to be only the opening piece of a much larger and more disturbing puzzle. As further deaths surface, the pair realize they are tracking someone whose methods point toward an obsessive, almost ritualistic purpose tied to religious imagery. Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth lead the cast as the detectives whose partnership is tested by a case that resists conventional logic, while Grace Kaufman and Michael Esper appear in roles connected to the unfolding events. The film builds its tension through mounting dread rather than action, letting the strangeness of the crimes accumulate as the detectives close in.

Context & significance
Resurrection sits between crime procedural and horror, using the structure of a detective story to build toward increasingly unsettling territory. Director Andrew Semans stretches the film to 108 minutes, giving the mystery room to develop layer by layer rather than resolving quickly. The film keeps its scares psychological rather than visceral, relying on the growing sense that the case obeys a logic the detectives cannot yet name, and that the religious imagery threaded through the killings points to a purpose more deliberate than random violence. Casting Rebecca Hall and Tim Roth as the two leads grounds that mounting dread in a working partnership, the kind of seasoned pairing whose disagreements about how to read the evidence become their own source of tension. Grace Kaufman, Michael Esper, and Angela Wong Carbone fill out the surrounding roles that widen the case beyond the two detectives, and the Chicago setting gives the procedural half of the story a cold, institutional texture. By letting the strangeness accumulate slowly across its runtime instead of front-loading a twist, Resurrection asks its audience to sit with unease rather than rush toward an answer.
