The first image from The Lazarus Effect has just debuted at EW (via ShockTillYouDrop.com) while the poster has gone up at MovieTickets.com. Check out the former above (click for a larger version) and the latter at the bottom of this page.

Starring Olivia Wilde (Rush, TRON: Legacy), Sarah Bolger (“Once Upon a Time,” “The Tudors”), Mark Duplass (“The League,” The One I Love), Evan Peters (Kick-Ass, X-Men: Days of Future Past) and Donald Glover (“Community,” Mystery Team), The Lazarus Effect is directed by David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi) and follows a team of research students mapping the human brain. When they accidentally kill one of their own, they unwittingly unlock a deadly force by reanimating their colleague. Fighting for their own lives, the team must contain their colleague in the lab before she is unleashed on the world.

“The reason I love to do low-budget movies is you can try different things… have creative freedom and experiment, like our characters,” producer Jason Blum tells EW. “…The most important thing to make a movie scary is that the you forget you’re watching actors, and you think you’re watching real people. So I think if the audience sees someone they don’t necessarily associate with that genre, it make it feel more real.”The Lazarus Effect is in theaters February 27th from Relativity.
