Brad of The Daily Rotation wrote, "When the KONY 2012 video went viral, the casual internet goer raged about the injustice in Africa. Instantly, you became an activist. You fell victim to the propaganda, dramatic music, and the swift editing. All the while, you failed to do the one thing that actually changes the world: think for yourself. You began to ask questions like “How can they use children as soldiers?!” Congratulations, you’ve officially broken out of your “America is the only country in the world” bubble. The problem is, these movements never have any weight, because they don’t have any plans to achieve the aforementioned goal(s)."
Skewed and Reviewed have posted a positive review for the new horror thriller. The reviewer said he went in with low expectations and was blown away.
From Blumhouse Productions, the movie company that brought you Paranormal Activity, Insidious and The Purge, comes The Lazarus Effect, a resurrection horror film directed by David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi) and stars Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Evan Peters, Donald Glover and Sarah Bolger. Having such a back catalog of scary movies, The Lazarus Effect has some big shoes to fill. Could this be the horror film that breaks the streak of bad horror movies that have been recently released?
IGN: From Blumhouse Productions -- the micro-budget movie company that brought you Paranormal Activity, Insidious and The Purge -- comes The Lazarus Effect, a resurrection horror film directed by David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi) and starring Mark Duplass, Olivia Wilde, Evan Peters, Donald Glover and Sarah Bolger.
Great article. It's not easy to find cinema that authentically portrays Africa, usually we get stuck with crap like 'The Blood Diamond'.
