Russell Mulcahy
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
David Cronenberg took the priest role as a favor to Mulcahy and reportedly did zero preparation, treating it as a lark between his own projects.
Released the same year as End of Days and Stigmata, Resurrection got buried in the 1999 religious-horror boom despite Lambert's committed performance and genuinely upsetting practical effects.
