The Lazarus Effect Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Keith Staskiewicz
I would have loved to see more from the filmmakers, daring to fail while staking out some new terror incognita instead of just going through the motions of an experiment for which we already have the results.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Another cheapie from the producers of "Paranormal Activity." Aims low, but hits its target.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Kevin C. Johnson
"The Lazarus Effect" boasts nothing special. It's not going to provide much relief for horror-starved audiences.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
"The Lazarus Effect" is nothing but a cheap horror film cloaked in scientific mumbo-jumbo.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
This isn't a real horror movie-this is the kind of horror movie that the characters in a real horror movie watch in order to comment on the lameness of the genre before their authentic terrors begin.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Mildly enjoyable despite its basic mediocrity ...
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It staggers, zombielike, from one jump-scare to another before petering out, a scant 83 minutes after rising from the slab.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
The Lazarus Effect begins with an intriguing premise then proceeds to squander all the early goodwill through a slow, inexorable descent into cheap horror gimmicks.
International Business Times
Monica Castillo
Lazarus is mired in the predictability of its genre conventions, showing its cards on the table before actually playing them.
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
The Lazarus Effect merely coasts by on a very thin script that is really just a placeholder to get to what is obviously its larger purpose: to frighten the audience so much that we forget that we're watching a bad movie.
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
Despite an intriguing opening and an overqualified cast, The Lazarus Effect can't shake a been-there/resurrected-that vibe.
The Atlantic
Lenika Cruz
Given the low-budget film's bottle-episode feel, horror fans could've gotten extra mileage out of a disorienting and original psychological treatment.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
It's thematically thin but competently made and good for a few scares.
Austin Chronicle
William Goss
...settles into a ho-hum slasher groove, offering up with Pavlovian regularity epileptic freak-outs and shadowy figures.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
A grimy, dopey, confused thriller that wastes a very likable cast.
Village Voice
Simon Abrams
Death may not be the end in The Lazarus Effect, but it should be.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
A tense, efficient medical thriller best enjoyed sans microscope.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
[A] risible mix of pseudoscientific hokum and supernatural freakouts.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Doesn't go far enough, isn't scary enough and has mad scientists who just aren't mad enough.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
There are lessons to be learned from this minimalist thriller. The first is that scaring people requires more than just tossing furniture around, turning the lights off and on, and basically sneaking up from behind and shouting "Boo!"
