In one of many breaches of scientific protocol, Frank and Zoe take Rocky home, leading to some scenes in which he appears to menace a sleeping Zoe. They’re joined by Eva (Sarah Bolger), a student documentarian who witnesses their first great triumph when they bring a dog named Rocky back to life. They work shoulder-by-shoulder with Niko (Donald Glover) and Clay (Evan Peters), pushing toward a breakthrough that will let them reanimate dead subjects, but-though this is never explicitly stated-not turn them into soulless killing machines in the process. Olivia Wilde co-stars as Zoe, Frank’s research partner and fiancée. It raises ethical questions it can only feint at considering, just as it underserves the conflict between science and faith that initially seems like it will play a major role in the movie, at least in what space is left between easy, PG-13-friendly jolts.ĭespite an intriguing opening and an overqualified cast, The Lazarus Effect can’t shake a been-there/resurrected-that vibe left over from Flatliners, Pet Sematary, and countless other films stretching back to Frankenstein. Sure, Frank’s research started out as a way to discover new ways of treating comatose patients, but isn’t the prospect of resurrecting the dead more interesting? The argument doesn’t work, either for Frank or the film. Consider penicillin and Coca-Cola: Both happened by accident.
