Over the weekend I saw the film The Lazarus Effect. The film stars Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass and Donald Glover. The basis of the film is that these scientists discovered a way to bring the dead back to life to hopefully give them more time to fix their diseases or illnesses. Great idea, definitely in the vein of the classic 1990 film Flatliners, starring Julia Roberts, Keifer Sutherland and Kevin Bacon. Definitely check that one out as well. But back to the Lazarus Effect.

The acting is great and all the performances are really great especially Olivia Wilde. She definitely gave me the creeps. I like how the movie is contained with just this team of scientists trying to change the world and what happens after you die. Everything looks great but there is one problem. It just wasn't that scary. This is a Blumhouse Production who also created The Purge, Sinister and Paranormal Activity. So I expected to get slightly scared.  Was it a decent movie, yeah, but I wanted to be scared. I would definitely wait till this one comes out on DVD.

2.5/5
