Resolution is a remarkable achievement from co-directors Benson and Moorhead, and like this year’s meta-horror hit Cabin in the Woods (which this film will inevitably be compared to), it is able to frighten the audience, turn around traditional genre conventions and poke fun at the viewers’ own addiction of watching horror films through an effective and thought-provoking manner.
Unlike high concept mainstream horror films, Resolution is able to depict chaos that happens when people step outside of what is considered societal norms in a way that has never been seen on screen through a well-crafted script, effective cinematography and intentional misdirection that will be impossible to duplicate.
