But yeah I agree with you. Plus I like how it's not as teenybopper (if that's even the right word) as most of the other late-90s horror films that came out during that time. It's also refreshing that they had the teen lead be a guy and the teens not fitting into stereotypes.

What's a Resurrection?

I want to watch it again now, it's been years! Apparently Kevin Williamson (Scream) rewrote most of the teenagers dialogue (uncredited I think) so that probably has a lot to do with why it has credibility compared to most copycat teen horrors.
