Overview
Medical researcher Frank, his fiancee Zoe and their team have achieved the impossible: they have found a way to revive the dead. After a successful, but unsanctioned, experiment on a lifeless animal, they are ready to make their work public. However, when their dean learns what they’ve done, he shuts them down. Zoe is killed during an attempt to recreate the experiment, leading Frank to test the process on her. Zoe is revived—but something evil is within her.

Viewing Notes
If you think of it as an alt Dark Phoenix origin story, as Jay mentioned to me on Twitter, it’s more enjoyable. That aside this was a pretty frustrating movie. There’s a lot of build up in the beginning that’s followed by a disappointing final act. Lots of missed opportunities to explore or explain, like what’s going on with the dog, etc.
