Unwilling to let her go, Frank uses the serum to resurrect her. During this attempt, things go horribly wrong and Zoe is fatally electrocuted.

The company and their attorneys confiscate everything associated with the project.įrank and his team sneak back into their lab to duplicate the experiment so that they can prove that they created the serum. They are also informed that a major pharmaceutical corporation has bought out the company that funded their research. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is shut down. Tests reveal that the serum, instead of dissipating, is constructing strange new synapses within the dog’s brain. However, they notice that the dog is behaving differently than it did when it was alive: its cataracts disappear, it loses its appetite, and it demonstrates other strange abilities.

#THE LAZARUS EFFECT CAST MOVIE#
There’s nothing in this movie that makes it worth watching. Despite having 5 talented actors and a nice idea but it fails at everything. This line is perfect to describe the movie. The Lazarus Effect has a talented cast and the glimmer of an interesting idea, but wastes it all on insipid characters and dull, recycled plot points.
