The Lazarus Effect

The Lazarus Effect (2015) is a sci-fi horror you can watch online on iFILM, directed by David Gelb and starring Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass as researchers who push medical science past its natural limit.

Frank and Zoe have spent years developing a serum that can revive the dead. One unauthorized test on an animal works. The university shuts them down. In a frantic attempt to repeat the experiment, Zoe is electrocuted and killed. Frank injects her with the serum. She comes back. The problem is that what returns to the lab is only partly the woman Frank loved — and whatever else came with her is not friendly. Donald Glover and Evan Peters round out the team that slowly realizes the danger is already inside the room.

Shot almost entirely in a single research facility, the film builds dread through confinement rather than spectacle. Stream The Lazarus Effect (2015) online on iFILM.
