Fairly standard all around - characters were interesting but not that well-developed and the plot was a predictable meld of Flatliners and Carrie.

All told it was an enjoyable but not memorable horror film. I guess there's a good reason why it was held on the shelf for so long before being released.

Zoë has developed a serum called "The Lazarus serum", to give health care professionals more time to do their work. By means of this serum, it should be possible to bring deceased patients back to life. During an experiment on a dead dog it turns out that not only the animal is walking around and wagging his tail again, but also the …
