    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The statement that humans only use ten percent of their brain is a common urban myth that scientists of that caliber would have known. It refers to unused potential. In fact brain scans have shown that no matter what you are doing all parts of the brain are active, though some are more active than others - which is explained in this movie by Niko.
    • Goofs
      During the experiments on the pig and the dog, it is stated that the Lazarus drug needs to be injected into their temporal lobes. However when they are trying to bring Zoe back the needle is in fact inserted into her frontal lobe. The temporal lobe on a human is farther back and lower.
    • Quotes

      Zoe: I went somewhere.

      Frank: That was a dream!

      Zoe: No, it was hell!

    4/10
    It has good ideas, but fails to realise them.
    Sadly this is an ultimately unrewarding film, to read the plot, you'd be forgiven for expecting something dark, original and interesting, when in reality it's generic, flat, and badly realised.

    The production values are a little poor, and the storytelling is disjointed, lacks any sort of core plot, at times it seemed to make no sense.

    A few times they could have gone for real scares and horror, sadly no such moments ever happened. The dog could have been good.

    Quite poor. 4/10
