what..... a waste .... of my precious time ...

The trailer made it look like she's possessed through out the whole thing, what a waste...

What a snooze of a movie. At least it was under 90 min? I love all the actors involved but this was a stinker from minute one.

A horror that I came across today and it was alright, some average action and thought it would do better with the cast it had thought and felt like pet cemetery vs flatliners.

Fantastic movie. One minute the characters are throwing out scientific facts and terms like it's Beakman's World, and the next they're horribly misrepresenting evolution by natural selection. Everyone behind the film have all probably noticed this as well. It mat well have been intentional.

Anyways, it's weird that Hollywood ramped up misogyny by turning Olivia Wilde into a living Even Horizon. This is part of the joke, right? Hello?

It almost felt like a movie, but then you realize it was 50% setup and then 50% cheap horror film tricks and jump scares. No real developments, no interesting character choices, not much substance at all.

This was actually my second time to watch this, but like watching it for the first time because I didn't remember ANYTHING about it. And for good reason: It's very unmemorable. It had a tiny bit of a "creepy" vibe to it but even that was eclipsed by how yawn-worthy the film itself was. This had SO. MUCH. POTENTIAL. but just fell completely flat on all counts. The story was very weak, with hardly any backstory or even a fake hypothesis to explain how all this would work. You can surmise what happened to "Rocky" (the dog) but you never actually know. Similarly, there are numerous loose ends throughout and the conclusion of the movie itself leaves you hanging. While it had plenty of potential for a great story, it came up very very flat. I couldn't recommend this even as a good "creepy" movie; this just had nothing going for it at all.

Would've given it a six, until it crammed the conclusion into a 20 minute monkey fest with retard ass and a dumb sequel setup.

Not a flick I'd recommend, but I've seen worse ones. I liked the first half.

Words can't describe how TRASH this movie is even on my rating system couldn't find not one point for this film

Waste of time, I was very disappointed!

I found the first half of the movie great because it creates a great eerie atmosphere, but the second half becomes predictable and cliché.

waste of my time. Otstoy

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals disapproves this movie

Olivia Wilde stars in the supernatural horror film The Lazarus Effect. A university study goes horribly wrong when one of the researchers dies in a freak accident and is revived using an experimental procedure. Wilde gives a solid performance, and so does her co-star Sarah Bolger. Also, the film does a nice job of building suspense and tension. But, the writing’s a little weak and isn’t sure what direction to take the plot: as it’s unclear whether the resurrected character is demon possessed, lost their humanity, or something else. Yet despite its weaknesses, The Lazarus Effect manages to deliver some good scares.

Good intro to horror movie for those who don't like horror but _love_ disappointment.
