They call Resurrection “Team Move 7,” a late-night TNT version of Seven.

1. Don't Go Out There Horror Movie Podcast episode 472 covers Resurrection (1999) as a listener pick from Steve Schmidt. 2. The episode features Nico, Brian, Mike, and Dustin as the hosts, and their horror-review format matters because they move from intro banter into a scene-by-scene breakdown. 3. The core question is whether Resurrection works as a 1999 crime-horror thriller or just feels like a late-night version of Seven. 4. The review opens with a warning about the movie’s look, because the hosts repeatedly call the color grading ugly and the editing distracting. 5. Christopher Lambert’s John Prudhomme becomes the center of the discussion, and the hosts say his acting feels flat, unnatural, or badly delivered. 6. The first major story beat is the murder scene with a missing arm, lamb’s blood on the window, and Roman numerals carved into the victim. 7. The hosts note that the detectives later connect the clues through a post office box, a botanical garden, and another body with the same numeral markings. 8. Brian explains that the film ties Matthew, Peter, and James to Biblical passages and frames the killings around a resurrection of Jesus. 9. The conversation also follows Prudhomme’s home life, including his wife Sarah and the flashback to the death of their son. 10. The priest Father Russell, the FBI profiler Wingate, and the detective Hollingsworth all come up as the case widens. 11. One recurring point is that the hosts like the gore more than the drama, especially the body wounds and the leg-less art exhibit victim. 12. Another memorable moment is their mockery of Prudhomme’s pronunciation of “perimeter,” which becomes a repeated joke. 13. The hosts also focus on the film’s chase material, including the rooftop pursuit and Hollingsworth being shot in the leg. 14. Several comments highlight the movie’s visual style, from the opening credits to the dark interiors and the rain-soaked streets. 15. The discussion of the dead son scene turns more serious, because the hosts say losing a child would deeply affect a marriage and a person’s faith. 16. Even when they criticize the film, the hosts keep returning to the idea that the movie has good bones and a strong setup. 17. The tone stays conversational and argumentative, with overlapping reactions, side jokes, and frequent scene-by-scene interruptions. 18. The format is a review show that mixes plot recap, performance criticism, and occasional praise for effects or atmosphere. 19. Listeners who enjoy 1990s horror-thriller reviews and movie-banter will get the most out of it. 20. Viewers looking for polished analysis of the film’s craft may skip it.

As heard by us

A blunt, lively breakdown of a dark thriller that earns more credit for its gore and mood than for its chase material.

The hosts treat the film like a grim detective-horror story, with religious-serial-killer baggage, rainy-night atmosphere, and practical gore doing a lot of the work.
