Well, it's not terribly original with some obvious connections with Frankenstein and other horror films of that type but I enjoyed it overall.

Evil will rise.
Medical researcher Frank, his fiancee Zoe and their team have achieved the impossible: they have found a way to revive the dead. After a successful, but unsanctioned, experiment on a lifeless animal, they are ready to make their work public. However, when their dean learns what they've done, he shuts them down. Zoe is killed during an attempt to recreate the experiment, leading Frank to test the process on her. Zoe is revived -- but something evil is within her.

This film too looked nice, and watching it after that makes to understand it better. I meant scientifically, rather than a supernatural way. So…
**The Lazarus Effect showed some promise but couldn’t decide what to do once the horror began.** The Lazarus Effect had a decent premise - scientists attempting to discover a method to resurrect the recently deceased are forced to test their new experimental treatment on one of their team after she dies in an accident. Only she doesn’t come back the same. She returns sinister, malevolent, and murderous. That…
