A team of medical researchers, led by the ambitious and brilliant Olivia Wilde and her fiancé Mark Duplass, has made a revolutionary breakthrough: a serum capable of reviving the recently deceased. After a successful, albeit unsettling, test on a dead pig, their work catches the attention of a shady pharmaceutical executive, played by Donald Glover. When a tragic lab accident claims the life of Wilde’s character, the team, including Evan Peters and Sarah Bolger, makes a desperate, ethically fraught decision to use their untested serum on her. The experiment works, bringing her back from the dead, but the resurrection comes with horrifying and unexpected consequences. As she begins to exhibit terrifying new abilities and a volatile, vengeful personality, the team realizes they have not just cheated death, but unleashed something dark and dangerous. A tense, claustrophobic thriller directed by David Gelb, The Lazarus Effect explores the terrifying price of playing God, transforming a scientific triumph into a fight for survival against a force that is no longer quite human.
