The Lazarus Effect

It’s been a while since we’ve seen Olivia Wilde and in The Lazarus Effect she makes a welcome if…wild… return. This supernatural thriller looks genuinely scary and that is no doubt a result of her decent acting ability.

The plot sounds stupid, but it looks likely to provide the requisite number of jumps in order to pass the ‘terrifying test’ if not breaking any boundaries for innovation.

Olivia is part of a group of scientists who stumble across a serum that can bring living beings back from the dead. After successful although strange results on a dog, events transpire that see the serum used on Miss Wilde. Suffice to say it doesn’t go well.

Imdb gives this 5.4 and Rottentomatoes.com has it at, er… okay 13%!
