MANILA, Philippines- From horror masters who produced “Insidious,” “The Purge” and “Sinister” come the latest terrifying thriller in their roster – “The Lazarus Effect” starring an interesting cast lead by Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass, Evan Peters, Donald Glover and Sarah Bolger.
Wilde’s character, Zoe, is brought back from the dead when a group of research students pushed the boundaries of knowledge after a successful experiment, where they brought back an animal to life. So they pursued to perform it on a friend who was electrocuted in a freak accident.
Coming back to life, as Zoe’s 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.
As an actress and an activist, Olivia Wilde effortlessly transitions from sharing the screen with renowned actors to working alongside devoted doctors and teachers in Haitian refugee camps.
“The Lazarus Effect” opens March 4 in cinemas nationwide, from Pioneer Films.
