Resurrection is a 1999 horror film film directed by Russell Mulcahy. Detective John Prudhomme, a Cajun transferred to Chicago, is assigned to investigate the savage murder of a man who has bled to death from a severed arm. A message, "He Is Coming", written in blood on the victim's window, is a dark, foreboding clue. After two more victims with missing body parts are discovered, Prudhomme realizes he is on the trail of a serial killer who is using the missing body parts to reconstruct the body of Christ in time for Easter. Some of the film was shot in Chicago, Illinois and New Orleans,... Louisiana, but most of it was filmed in Toronto, Canada. Resurrection was released in the fall of 1999 on cable television in the United States. In other countries such as France, Spain and Switzerland, it was shown in theatres.
