I know I've reviewed this movie before. It might even have been last year, but it was either review this movie tonight, or review Van Helsing. Now, Van Helsing has Dracula and Frankenstein and Werewolves and all, and is a very entertaining movie, but I have also reviewed it before. So let's go with Lazarus Effect, since it's a legit horror movie, and not just an entertaining monsters movie / action flick.
The Lazarus Effect (2015) is about a group of scientists working to extend the time whena dead person can be brought back to life without ill effects, basically to give the doctors more time to repair the body. They developed this formula, but they are having problems getting it to work. Then, boom, they have a flash of insight and figure it out! Like most scientific breakthroughs in horror movies, however, the scientists are so busy trying to prova that they can, that they never think about whether or not they should. So they revive a dead dog, and much like a hound of hell, the sudden re-animation of Rocky the elderly pooch marks the arrival of chaos. An accident happens in the lab, and the team of scientists try to fix it it, only that's when... you know it... all hell breaks loose.
I caught this movie on one of the Starz channels if you want to watch it. Starts kind of slow, almost looks like some found-footage nonsense at first, then gets rid of all that crap and gets right into the building of suspense and growing horror. Not a long movie, and not the best horror flick out there, but not bad. Effects are decent, gets straight into the heart of things, even does a little character backstory to explain all the horror. Acting is decent. I've seen it twice now and it's definitely re-watchable. Could do worse for a horror movie.
That's all for tonight! Enjoy the movies if you get 'em!
