Violence & Gore

  • The opening credits show various forms of blood and gore.
  • A dead dog, with cataracts, is injected with a syrum and electrocuted a few times, then violently jumps back to life, startling everyone around. Then thrashes and shows signs of aggression. His cataracts then disappear.
  • Trying to recreate the dog resurrection, a woman is electrocuted (she was wearing a ring and we see the burnt wound) with bloodshot eyes. She dies as her friends cry.
  • A man uses the serum to attempt to resurrect his electrocuted girlfriend. He punctures the injection needle into her brain through her temple, we hear a gross crunch. After hiding from a security guard, he checks on her and she is sitting up and grabs his arm staring deeply in shock.
  • Throughout the movie, we see repeated visions of a burning building, charred hands under the door and a scared little girl.
  • Zoe starts to rise off a couch while having a nightmare and opens her eyes and they appear completely black.
  • A man walks into a room and is startled by Zoey and after rejecting affection from her, she uses telekinesis to throw him into a closet, and as he screams in terror, the closet starts to crunch and shrink crushing him. We see blood pour out of the bottom of the closet.
  • A man and a woman run throughout a dark building to find Zoey. The man sees her at the end of a hallway and when he attempts to help her, her eyes turn black, she grabs his head, tilts it up and forces it down onto his spine (we hear a crunch), and then pushes hard into his temples. We see blood and bruising as his face swells up, his eyes go bloodshot, she screams and he dies falling to the ground.
