The Lazarus Effect is a 2015 film starring Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Sarah Bolger, Evan Peters, and Donald Glover. A team of scientists is working on creating a better means of resuscitating dead patients to allow doctors more time to heal them. When they get shut down for overstepping the bounds of their grant, they try to do one last experiment to prove they can do it… and things get worse when project leader Zoe gets accidentally electrocuted, only for her fiancé Frank to attempt the procedure on her. Things go downhill from there. | |

"I Know You Are in There Somewhere" Fight: It works momentarily, but Frank was inwardly doubting she was herself and could be saved. Zoe picks up on it with her telepathy and... it doesn't end well for Frank. | |

| The Lazarus Effect / int_2d4fa515 | comment |
Ax-Crazy: Zoe turns into an utter psycho when she comes back from the dead. Although it's possible that she was an unhinged loon to begin with, what with her involvement in the apartment complex fire and all. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| The Lazarus Effect / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: The Dean & the Pharmaceutical Company confiscate the research in the most obnoxious way possible, but they are right. Frank was conducting deeply unethical research that both far exceeded his mandate and violated the terms of the grant agreement. The Dean is completely correct that Frank has no one to blame but himself and that was the only realistic outcome once his actions were discovered. The Dean is also correct that he is a hopeless idealist trying to prove his theories about death and the afterlife, which deeply offended the University's donors (The University is religious institution.) His research was endangering the funding of the entire University on the off chance he might be right. As such, she was well within her rights to shut the program down. | |

The Ending Changes Everything | |
| The Lazarus Effect / int_7d3f1d63 | comment |
The Ending Changes Everything: The ending shows the villain's Redemption Equals Death was all a Dying Dream by the Final Girl. The villain is alive, and the Final Girl is dead. This works well with the film's theme of Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane, as a magical explanation would make a great deal of what we saw accurate anyway, while a mundane explanation would call it into question. | |

Demonic Possession | |
| The Lazarus Effect / int_906365a2 | comment |
Demonic Possession: Eva thinks this might be the case, but it's unclear whether it was possession, Zoe going crazy from the resurrection, or Zoe going crazy from having been in Hell. Given she intentionally started the fire that ends up being her personal Hell, she might even have been bad all along. | |

Came Back Wrong: It starts with the dog they first successfully resurrect, Rocky. He's listless and won't eat or drink. Then he starts going all Cujo. Zoe herself starts exhibiting behavior that leads her friends to think she's a victim of Demonic Possession. She very much isn't. | |
