About this movie

THE LAZARUS EFFECT follows a group of researchers led by Frank and his fiance Zoe, who've achieved the unimaginable - bringing the dead back to life. After a successful, yet unsanctioned, trial on a newly deceased animal, the team is ready to unveil their breakthrough to the world. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is unexpectedly shut down and their materials confiscated. Frank, Zoe and their team take matters into their own hands, launching a rogue attempt to recreate their experiment, during which things go terribly wrong and one of their own, Zoe, is horrifically killed. Fueled by terror and grief, Frank pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test subject. Initially, the procedure appears a success, but the team soon realizes something is wrong with Zoe. As her strange new persona reveals itself, the team quickly becomes stuck in a gruesome reality. They are no longer faced with the question of whether they can bring someone back to life - but rather, the wrath of her return. 2014 Blumhouse Productions, Chapter One Films, Lionsgate, Mosaic Media Group.

Ratings and reviews

Its a short, fast paced movie, so at least it will keep you entertained. That saves it from being really bad. Acting is meh, plot is a good idea, script is poorly executed, character buildup is kinda null, effects are ok, sound is ok.. average overall.

you've seen it all before in some form, don't bother. cast could've done better given the right script.

Greatest sifi horror film of 2015
