A Resurrection

ShockTillYouDrop.com had the chance to connect with Jamie Kennedy and Matt Orlando about their new collaboration, A Resurrection. Orlando wrote and directed the film and Kennedy produced through Jamie Kennedy Entertainment.

Matt Orlando gave us the run down on his first time in the director’s chair and the casting process. Jamie Kennedy shed some light on why A Resurrection doesn’t look like a first film and offered his critique on Scream 4. Kennedy also gave us an update on another film Jamie Kennedy Entertainment is producing, Kantemir, which stars Robert Englund. 

A Resurrection stars Mischa Barton, Devon Sawa, J. Michael Trautman and the late Michael Clarke Duncan.  It’s the story of a down to earth school psychologist who tries to help a mentally ill student that actually believes his brother is coming back from the grave for revenge on the students that killed him.

The film will be in select theaters Friday, March 22nd. 

Jessie (Mischa Barton), a school psychologist tries to help Eli (Jonathan Michael Trautmann) who believes his dead brother is coming back from the grave to avenge his death. Naturally, bedlam ensues. 

Devon Sawa has continued to work in genre fare, somewhat regularly, since his breakout roles in Idle Hands and Final Destination. He was a familiar and welcome face in A Resurrection. Sawa turned in a good performance, as Travis. And Mischa Barton successfully broke the mold of the roles we’ve seen her play time and again. The late Michael Clark Duncan was excellent as the high school principal. The entire cast actually turned in above average and authentic performances. I was surprised that first time director Matt Orlando was able to round up such great talent for his directorial debut. The cast helped turn what could have been a run of the mill, low budget horror film in to something more than that.

Some new images for A Resurrection have been released in anticipation of the film's debut on March 22nd.  Mischa Barton, Devon Sawa, Jonathan Michael Trautman and the late Michael Clarke Duncan star.

The film was directed by Matt Orlando and produced by Jamie Kennedy Entertainment.
