Charles Dexter Ward's wife enlists the help of a private detective to find out what her husband is up to in a remote cabin owned by his family for centuries. The husband is a chemical engineer, and the smells from his experiments (and the delivery of what appear to be human remains at all hours) are beginning to arouse the attention of neighbors and local law enforcement officials. When the detective and wife find a diary of the husband's ancestor from 1771, and reports of gruesome murders in the area begin to surface, they begin to suspect that some very unnatural experiments are being conducted in the old house. Based on an H.P. Lovecraft story.

| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanAn assured but sadly neglected independent horror film. |
| DVDTalk.comScott WeinbergThe thrills, chills, and intermittent gore-spills are way too few and far between to keep the loyal horrorheads from getting restless. |
| User ReviewBrian KThis is possibly the finest film adaptation of a Lovecraft story I have thus far seen. |
| User ReviewDean MAn excellent HP Lovecraft film, much overlooked |
| User Reviewtp bAn excellent modern day adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novella "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward". |
| User ReviewTTT C(***): Thumbs Up I had fun with this one. It had some creepy moments that really kept me interested. |
| User ReviewDan BA mostly faithful retelling of my favorite Lovecraft story. If you have something against reading, watching this solid horror film would be an acceptable alternative. Also, it stars Jack's dad from Lost ;) |
| User ReviewAl MThe Resurrected is a surprisingly faithful and entertaining adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's novella "The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward." While The Resurrected undoubtedly feels cheesy at times, it stays faithful to Lovecraft's story and consequently manages to be a genuine piece of cinematic strangeness. |

| User ReviewAntonio RLas cosas que descubre uno gracias a IMDB. Dan O'Bannon, por si al personal no le suena el nombre, es uno de los más importantes guionistas de terror/ciencia-ficción que han dado los Estados Unidos. Suyos son los guiones de, por decir las más importantes, [i]Dark Star[/i], [i]Alien[/i], [i]Trueno azul [/i](¡clasicazo!), [i]Lifeforce[/i] y [i]Desafío total[/i]. Esta [i]The Resurrected[/i] es su segunda y, por ahora, última intentona en la dirección, después de, atentos, [i]El regreso de los muertos vivientes[/i], cuyo guión también era suyo. ¿Para cuándo un monumento para este hombre? Pero esto no ha hecho más que empezar. Resulta que [i]The Resurrected[/i] (que, por cierto, me parece que nunca ha conocido lanzamiento en España) es una adaptación de [i]El extraño caso de Charles Dexter Ward[/i] (igual que [i]The Haunted Palace[/i] de Corman). ¿Y a que no adivináis quién hace de Ward? ¡Pues nada menos que Chris Sarandon! LADO BUENO: Sí, hombre, sí, Chris Sarandon. El vampiro de [i]Noche de miedo[/i]. El malo de [i]La princesa prometida[/i]. La voz de Jack Skellington (cuando no cantaba) en [i]Pesadilla antes de Navidad[/i]. Vamos, otro para echarle de comer aparte. Con estos mimbres, estaba claro que nada podía fallar. Aunque la historia está trasladada a principios de los 90, la fidelidad es notable. Lo mejor, sin embargo, es el pulso de O'Bannon a la hora de agarrar las escenas y no dejar que se le escapen. Casi toda la película está construida como un relato de detectives, y las consiguientes escenas de interrogatorios y búsqueda de pruebas se muestran con muy pocos cortes, lo que ayuda a crear ambiente. Y el punto débil habitual del género, los efectos especiales, son a veces asombrosos (véase la escena del río), aunque otras cantan la traviata de lo envejecidos que están (esos rayos fosforitos...). La mayor parte de las veces, la verdad, lo que tienen es un encanto a lo Ray Harryhausen, y eso, en mi opinión, da puntos. LADO MALO: Lo que impide que esta estupenda adaptación suba a los altares y yo vaya ahora mismo a besarle los pies a Dan O'Bannon, es el reparto. Chris Sarandon cumple con creces, pero el resto echan un tufo a TV movie que tira de espaldas, y actúan en consecuencia. ¿Quién no conoce a John Terry y Jane Sibbett? EN TRES (3) PALABRAS: ¡Serie B power! |
