The Lazarus Effect has Olivia Wilde and a group of scientists bring the dead back to life.
But will they resurrect this familiar concept?
What happens if we cure death?
And this lingering question has persisted up toPet Semataryand through our latest Blumhouse Production:The Lazarus Effect.
If only it lived up to its animated namesake.
And being awakened from her brief trip to Hell has left her very scorned, indeed.
Carnage and death ensues since some form of Hell has come with her.
However, like so much else in this film, it is only lip service.
Less than point and shoot, its hardly a step up from found footage in some sequences.
But in the role of those colleagues, the cast does fine with what they are given.
Donald Glover especially brings some sympathy to what on the page probably read like a throwaway part.
Still, this is Wildes show and she knows that she is the best thing in it.
