They are no longer faced with the question of whether they can bring someone back to life- but rather, the wrath of her return . Evil will rise !
Horror fairy tale , being consistently paced, finely played and with a lot of phenomena , blood , twists and turns . Weird terror movie that's heavy on creepy scenes with acceptable though completely interior production design , colorful cinematography and decent but no excessive special effects , incuding gruesomely vivid gore . The film blends Science-fiction/fantasy genre about some some scientists have achieved the unimaginable : bringing the dead back to life in relation to films as "Frankenstein" , "Pet Sematary" (1989), "Carrie" (2013), ¨Lucy" (2014) with Hospital or Morgue films , such as :¨André Øvreda's Autopsy of Jane Doe¨ , ¨Ole Bornedal's Nightwatch¨ or ¨Nattevagten¨and especially "Flatliners" (1990), taking bits and parts here and there , forming a strange potpourri that sometimes works . A twisted plot in which some scientists become involved into a supernatural intrigue resulting in plunging herself deeper and deeper towards a world of impossible occurrences and equally inexplicable findings , starting when one of their own is horrifically killed . Starred by ordinary comical actor Mark Duplass , here in a serious role, giving attractive acting as a scientist who pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test , while his girlfriend is the always beautiful Olivia Wilde . They are finely well accompanied by a notorious support cast , such as : Sarah Bolger , Evan Peters , Donald Glover , Ray Wise and Cory Aquino.
It contains adequate but dark cinematography by Michael Fimognari , as well as thrilling and suspenseful musical score by Sarah Schachner . The motion picture was competently directed by Diederik Van Rooijen. This is a good director with a short but interesting career with penchant for Chillers and Horror movies. He is a producer and writer, known for Wolfang (2021) , Machine (2019), Street Food: Asia (2019), a Chef's Table (2015), Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) , among others .Rating : 6/10 . Acceptable , passable and decent Terror movie , in spite of developing itself at limited interior scenarios. Well worth watching.
