Relativity Media’s released a new trailer and poster for the horror film The Lazarus Effect coming to theaters on February 27, 2015. Directed by David Gelb, the horror movie finds Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Donald Glover, Evan Peters (American Horror Story), and Sarah Bolger starring as medical students who discover a way to bring dead patients back to life.
The trailer finds the group beginning their experiments on a dead dog, but they don’t stop there. After a freak accident, it’s Olivia Wilde’s character’s turn to come back from the dead.
The Lazarus Effect was produced by Jason Blum from Blumhouse Productions, Cody Zweig, Matt Kaplan and Jimmy Miller.
The Plot:
From masters of horror Blumhouse Productions – producer of The Purge, Insidious, and Sinister franchises – The Lazarus Effect follows a group of researchers led by Frank (Mark Duplass) and his fiancée Zoe (Olivia Wilde,) who’ve achieved the unimaginable – bringing the dead back to life. After a successful yet unsanctioned trial on a newly deceased animal, the team is ready to unveil their breakthrough to the world. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is unexpectedly shut down and their materials confiscated.
Frank, Zoe and their team (Donald Glover, Sarah Bolger, and Evan Peters) take matters into their own hands, launching a rogue attempt to recreate their experiment, during which things go terribly wrong and one of their own, Zoe, is horrifically killed. Fueled by terror and grief, Frank pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test subject.
Initially, the procedure appears a success, but the team soon realizes something is wrong with Zoe. As her strange new persona reveals itself, the team quickly becomes stuck in a gruesome reality. They are no longer faced with the question of whether they can bring someone back to life – but rather, the wrath of her return.
