Jason Blum Talks The Lazarus Effect and the Future of Blumhouse — collider.com

Over the last few years Jason Blum has developed his company, Blumhouse, into one of Hollywood’s foremost horror production companies and franchise-building powerhouse (Paranormal Activity, Insidious, The Purge), and just landed their first Academy Awards for Whiplash. Blumhouse’s latest film, The Lazarus Effect, is now open in theaters. The film follows a team of scientific researchers attempting to extend life in dying patients. When one of the team members (Olivia Wilde) is killed tragically during an experiment, the rest of the group does the unthinkable and brings her back to from the dead.

Directed by David Gelb (Jiro Dreams of Sushi), the film also stars Mark Duplass, Evan Peters, Donald Glover and Sarah Bolger.
