Films like The Lazarus Effect.

The Lazarus Effect (2015) reads as Heavy, kinetic, measured horror / sci-fi, inventive in texture. Nihilistic, intimate, cold. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
