BAMF

Initial Thought: The trailer for this kind of spoiled a lot of the movie. I know at least one person who dies. That was disappointing. Also why is there so many comedy actors here. I don't know if I can take this one seriously. I mean at least they are trying to expand their horizons. Other than that the concept here looks pretty interesting and that's what got my attention.

The Lazarus Effect is a 2015 American supernatural science fiction horror film directed by David Gelb and written by Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater. The film stars Mark Duplass , Olivia Wilde , Donald Glover , Evan Peters , and Sarah Bolger . The film was theatrically released on February 27, 2015 by Relativity Media .Medical researchers Frank ( Mark Duplass ) and his fiancée, Zoe ( Olivia Wilde ), have developed a serum, code-named " Lazarus ". It was intended to assist coma patients but is shown to actually be able to bring the dead back to life.

With the assistance of their friends, Niko ( Donald Glover ), Clay ( Evan Peters ), and videographer Eva ( Sarah Bolger ), they run a successful trial on a recently deceased dog. However, they notice that the dog is behaving differently than it did when it was alive: its cataracts disappear, it loses its appetite, and it demonstrates other strange abilities. Tests reveal that the serum, instead of dissipating, is constructing strange new synapses within the dog's brain.When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is shut down. They are also informed that a major pharmaceutical corporation has bought out the company that funded their research. The company and their attorneys confiscate everything associated with the project.Frank and his team sneak back into their lab to duplicate the experiment so that they can prove that they created the serum. During this attempt, things go horribly wrong and Zoe is fatally electrocuted. Unwilling to let her go, Frank uses the serum to resurrect her. Initially, the procedure appears to be a success, but the team soon realizes that something is wrong with Zoe. She claims that when she died, she went to her version of Hell , which was a nightmare originating from her childhood: during a fire in her apartment building, she witnessed trapped neighbors burning to death. She also begins to demonstrate unusual psychic abilities. The Lazarus serum causes brains to "evolve" incredibly rapidly, giving Zoe superhuman powers such as telekinesis and telepathy ... (more)

"The first idiotic jumpscare left such an awful first impression and the generic horror film that followed didn't do anything to better that. "

Film Journal 2015 (112 movies items)

" Although this film takes a while to get going, it was compelling. It's like a Frankenstein/Lucy movie baby. With some scary stuff, too. I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it."
