Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Load of rubbish!!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

A group of researchers led by Frank and his fiancée Zoe are able to bring back the dead to life in this horror film entitled "The Lazarus Effect".It stars Mark Duplass and Olivia Wilde together with Donald Glover,Evan Peters,Sarah Bolger,Amy Aquino and Ray Wise.Medical researchers Frank and his fiancée, Zoe have developed a serum that is able to assists coma patient.But later,it was revealed that it is actually able to bring the dead back to life. They code- named it as "Lazarus".With the assistance of their friends, Niko, Clay and videographer Eva,they run an experiment with the dog. But later,they try to apply the serum to human when an accident happens during their experiment. Well,it was obviously something that has already been done before.There is nothing new presented in this film.As always,those that are brought back to life whether be it a dog or a human being will always be having some problems in some parts of their body.And you've guessed it, things will definitely be not really successful at the end.

A strange substance that (for all intents and purposes) increases brain activity and allows its user supernatural abilities.Hmm - now that sounds familiar......last seen in the movie "Lucy"(2014). The only difference being that Lucy did not loose her mind. (well, it was classified action and not horror) Aside from this little thing - the movie has a very small cast and .. in my opinion .. is fairly well acted. Was the scary horror stuff toned down a little - the entire film may have been a nice little Doctor Who episode with "the monster of the week".So - to sum it all up... i just watched a not really scary version of Lucy without Scarlet Johanson and a lot less action. The pacing was alright but the story itself had more holes than Swiss cheese.A 4/10 is all i am willing to give it. It is a movie that is well below average.

The Lazarus Effect is one of those movies that you watch without any passion or interest for it. You know you saw worse movies that you hated, but you also know that you saw way better movies then this one. It's just an average movie that you watch once and then forget about it. The cast isn't that bad actually. All the actors did their job well but they won't be remembered for their role in The Lazarus Effect. The story is just not good enough to make it interesting. If you want to watch a movie with the same concept as this one then you should watch "Flatliners" from 1990. That one is way better then this one. In The Lazarus Effect there is just a thing missing. It could have been much better but unfortunately it isn't.

I love scary movies..but it takes a lot to creep me out...this one did just that. The story line was not very original (reminded me of Flatliners from the 90's)...but with a twist and more scares...it is a movie I suggest watching at night with the lights out. And then maybe sleep with a night light. Good movie with great acting. I would probably not buy it...but it is worth renting. I don't know why some people gave it such low votes, I really enjoyed it. I like movies that make me jump and look behind myself when I hear a noise. This movie did just that. I watched it alone..but you might want to watch it with a friend...cuz it really is creepy. ENJOY
