If you heard that Olivia Wilde, Donald Glover (formerly of Community), and Mark Duplass were starring in a film together, you might expect something along the lines of a dramedy. But on the contrary, an upcoming movie starring all three actors looks to be brimming with wide-eyed horror, as evidenced in the first image from The Lazarus Effect, which sounds a bit like a mash-up of Re-Animator and Flatliners.
EW debuted the first look at The Lazarus Effect, which features Olivia Wilde holding a surgical tool to her head while her super-dilated eyes glare above a slight—perhaps even sinister—smile.
From Blumhouse Productions, The Lazarus Effect was directed by David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi) off a screenplay by Luke Dawson (2008's Shutter) and Jeremy Slater (The Fantastic Four reboot). The sci-fi/horror film hits theaters on February 27th.
According to EW, The Lazarus Effect is about "a group of medical students who experiment bringing dead matter back to life." Stay tuned to Daily Dead for further updates. In the meantime, we have the film's first image below, via EW:
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
