I think at some point or another we've all seen the ultimate evil babysitter movie, The Hand That Rocks The Cradle.  Rebecca De Mornay perfectly portrayed the crazed killer with a vendetta against the Bartel family for ruining her life.  While not even on a scale that grand or complex, Michael Thelin's feature film debut, Emelie, attempts to channel from the same psychological well.

The Lazarus Effect (2015)

Running Time: 83 minutes

Release Date: February 27, 2015

Review by: Stacey

Very few horror films make me want to actually go to a movie theater (save for seeing older films at the Drafthouse), so when I saw a trailer for 2015's The Lazarus Effect a few weeks before it's release, I was intrigued enough to want to go opening weekend.  People being brought back from the dead with a cast composed of Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass, Evan Peters and Donald Glover?  Count me in, man.
