Fairly standard all around - characters were interesting but not that well-developed and the plot was a predictable meld of Flatliners and Carrie. It didn't help that the movie didn't move from the one location - I get why it happened this way, but it kind of hamstrung itself doing that.

By means of this serum, it should be possible to bring deceased patients back to life. During an experiment on a dead dog it turns out that not only the animal is walking around and wagging his tail again, but also the …
