16. Resurrection

In a just world, Rebecca Hall would be in Oscar contention right now for her mind-blowing performance in Resurrection.

Andrew Semans' film is a tough one to discuss without delving into spoilers, but the basic plot involves a woman, Margaret (Hall), coming back into contact with an abusive ex-partner, David (Tim Roth), who causes her successful life to slowly unfurl.

This is far more than a mere psychological horror about trauma, though: it's an increasingly twisted piece of work that contorts itself in some incredibly odd and unexpected directions, which adventurous genre audiences will surely love.

Hall gives a masterful performance - particularly during an unforgettable monologue - that ranks among the year's best, full stop. Roth isn't far behind her either, bringing a subdued menace to the role of her antagoniser.
