Alien at the Movies

It's "Flatliners" meets "Re-animator" meets "Lucy" when medical students run unauthorized experiments on doggie cadavers seeking to prolong lives of coma patients. Of course, when a freak accident occurs, the group is forced to use the Lazarus serum on one of their own. This supernatural horror flick is brought to you by the makers of "Paranormal Activities", "Insidious", & "Sinister". It's very genre predictable. Olivia Wilde is the big name draw. If you are a fan of the genre, you'll want to see it no matter if someone says it's good or bad. It's not particularly scary. Of course, it is sequel set upped but only box office numbers and DVD sales will determine if the film has a "Lazarus Effect" of its own. Odd note: Apparently, there are no cell phones in this fantasy world.

Alien gives it 2 "Don't f*ck with Mother Nature" stars out of 4.
