Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe statement that humans only use 10% 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.
- GoofsWhen calling out the current being applied to each subject, Zoe uses kilovolts (kV). During the attempt on the second dog, Zoe calls out "11 kilowatts" instead.

Featured review
science fiction/horror thriller seems like a mash-up of Flatliners and Lucy
TA group of scientists led by romantic couple Mark Duplass and Olivia Wilde are working on a project to briefly restore brain function in clinically dead patients in hopes of allowing medical professionals longer time to work on critical patients. Their experiments seem to work better than expected when a revived dog continues to live long after the effect of its treatment should have worn off. When a laboratory accident electrocutes one of their own, the others decide to use the technique on the deceased, with seeming success. But they soon realize that something is not quite right with their colleague.
The movie has some style, and some creepy moments, but it works better when the story flirts with how guilt and religion can effect one's psyche in positive and negative ways. The cast is fine, although it was odd seeing the usually funny Duplass in a straight-faced role.
