I haven’t seen Alan Trezza’s short film from 2008, called “Burying the Ex,” but I have seen the feature length adaptation of the same name, which Trezza also wrote, and I can tell you that it should have stayed a short. It is appropriate then, that while watching the film, I kept thinking to myself how there’s only about 30 minutes of plot, stretched out thin to 90 minutes.

I purposely chose to tackle the Blu-ray review of The Lazarus Effect for two main reasons. First, I love stories about mad scientists. There’s something about them playing God in the real world that just wildly appeals to me and curdles my blood. Secondly, I feel like Anakin Skywalker at times. I truly do want to stop people from dying, especially loved ones. For anyone familiar with the biblical tale of Lazarus or even the reference in Nolan’s Interstellar last year, the man came back from the dead. On any given day, that happening alone makes it a good one, no? Of course it does! So here we are. It’s not the biblical times, but it’s 2015 and we have a movie that caters to both my obsession with raising the dead and people playing mad scientists. So why shouldn’t I want to review The Lazarus Effect? Now you’re getting it. Continue reading ‘The Lazarus Effect (Blu-ray Review)’
