While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

I have been trying to watch all of the films directed by Aaron Scott Moorhead and Justin Benson (excluding that segment of VHS: Viral, cause I want to actually watch a GOOD movie) before eventually watching and reviewing "The Endless".The first film of theirs that I watched was "Spring", which I thought was a compelling romance drama with horror elements sprinkled in.Now, I have watched their first film, "Resolution". And it was pretty good.PROS: I thought the performances were pretty good, especially that of Vinny Curran. He plays a character who is going through withdrawal. This kind of role is normally hard to pull off, but Curran did a great job. It felt really realistic.The concept was a really unique one. The only other time that I've heard of a horror movie involving someone easing their friend through withdrawal was 2013's "Evil Dead", but all similarities end there. This movie is quite different. I won't say what exactly the film is about, because it's so outlandish that I think others should learn about it themselves.I think the cinematography was pretty good when it came to the context. Normally, one would say that it kinda felt like amateur filmmaking, but I think that that was the point. Again, I won't go into details, but it fits the context of the story.CONS: I like slow burns in films, especially in horror films. However, I felt that this film didn't really afford to be as slow as it was. When I got halfway through the movie, the first thought that came into my mind was "When is something actually going to happen?"I feel that there were a lot of plot elements in this movie that didn't really feel like they should all be in the same movie. It tried to be a drama about addiction and friendship, a horror movie, and a twisty mind-screw all in the same movie. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.Overall, this movie was really good, and I do recommend it, as well as the other movies directed by Moorhead/Benson.

Resolution is an independent horror movie with supernatural elements. It transcends various genre tropes and portrays a look into the inner fabric of horror narratives, exposing the viewer's voyeuristic tendencies regarding the fate of the onscreen characters. It does so with a very modest budget - however, the drawbacks regarding actor's performances and the technical production never compromise the movie's suspenseful mystery. The ending might be polarizing, however, it also makes the movie open for discussion, which is more than one can say about most horror movies.Overall 7/10 Full review on movie-discourse.blogspot.de

I think anyone reading these reviews that hasn't seen this yet should just watch it.It's different, it's strange, and the ending is... bizarre?it's so different from other movies that it's worth watching, a budget film that has an original idea, you'll question whats going on while you watch but the end is a proper 'what the...?!!' moment that doesn't seem to make sense, and so you try to make sense of it, and think about it for a long time...It's not action packed, but it'c clever enough to keep you going along with it, and i think it really underrated looking at the reviews,

For a movie where not a great deal happens, I found Resolution an engaging effort. The acting from the main protagonists is compelling, the ambiance suitably unsettling, and odd characters come and go a la "Twin Peaks". Creating a claustrophobic and surreal environment, there was perhaps potential for something rather more than was realised.In truth this is not a horror movie in the modern, conventional sense. There is no gore, no monster, no torture porn. Yet there are moments that are genuinely creepy, and you do at least care about the characters unlike in most horrors of the stalk-and-slash variety.The ending will divide opinion, and nothing is given away here about the somewhat unsatisfying final scenes. Perhaps all will be resolved in a sequel ...
