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. (Lionsgate Home Entertainment)

The plot and in fact the rest of the story, including the (rather sympathetic) ending, feels like something out of a better (i.e. not completely stupid) episode of Believe it or Not. But I liked the fact that the film, thanks to the sober runtime, quickly got to the point, did not delay and tried only to worry and frighten from beginning to end. Unfortunately, it didn't always work out.

After the enjoyable trailer, I'm pretty annoyed at how bland and uninteresting it was. Despite the fabulous running time, the film is slow to get going, the scares are absolutely non-functional, the soundtrack is lacking, and I had headphones on. The final showdown also sucks, visually the film is lame, only Olivia Wilde makes it worth seeing the film, I could keep my eyes on her. Disappointing, glad I didn't go to the cinema. 40%

I was looking forward to the film mainly because of Olivia, who I still think deserves a really good role. And she didn't get it again. The story is simple, which wouldn't bother me so much, but the plot is just bad, too unoriginal, and too boringly executed. This is a horror where there are incredibly few moments when I could actually get scared. Overall, it's led so incredibly straightforwardly and, above all, uninterestingly, that the film simply can't do anything with you, and you'll just be watching without experiencing any emotion whatsoever. Except maybe boredom. It’s too bad, I expected much more from this.
