Resolution (2013)

Settled guy in his late 20s decides to spend a week with his friend in order to get him clean, even though his friend’s not interested in sobriety. Things get weird fast.

Not only are a couple of meth-heads dropping by to party/threaten them, there’s also the Native Americans whose land they’re on, a friendly doomsday cult, a mental health center with frequent escapees, druggie hobos, oh -- and a presence that keeps leaving “stories” in the form of photos, slides, old books, diaries, film reels, carvings on the wall, and video that just appears on their laptop. I have no idea why neither of them were ever freaked out nor why it was somehow obvious to both of them that they weren’t supposed to leave. There seemed to be several leaps in logic which Gary and I spent way too much time trying to explain when the movie should’ve done that for us.

I started out liking it -- the vibe was unexpected -- but, despite the title, it fell apart and didn’t do a good job of resolving.
