The film follows a group of researchers who’ve successfully been able to bring animals back from the dead. However, things go horrifically wrong during one of their underground procedures and Zoe (Wilde) is electrocuted and killed. The team subsequently decides to do the unthinkable: make her the first human test subject. Needless to say, shit gets weird.

The Lazarus Effect follows a group of researchers led by Frank and his fiancée Zoe who’ve achieved the unimaginable – bringing the dead back to life. After a successful, yet unsanctioned, trial on a newly deceased animal, the team is ready to unveil their breakthrough to the world. When the dean of their university learns of their underground experiments, their project is unexpectedly shut down and their materials confiscated. Frank, Zoe and their team take matters into their own hands, launching a rogue attempt to recreate their experiment, during which things go terribly wrong and one of their own, Zoe, is horrifically killed. Fueled by terror and grief, Frank pushes them to do the unthinkable: attempt to resurrect their first human test subject.
Initially, the procedure appears a success, but the team soon realizes something is wrong with Zoe. As her strange new persona reveals itself, the team quickly becomes stuck in a gruesome reality. They are no longer faced with the question of whether they can bring someone back to life- but rather, the wrath of her return.
