John Madec (Michael Douglas) is a big shot businessman that hires a young guide named Ben (Jeremy Irvine) to take him on an illicit hunting expedition. Their worlds couldn’t be more apart, but at first they make it work. Until Madec accidentally shoots and kills an old dude living in a mine. Ben wants to call in the police. Madec on the other hand wants to cover up his tracks because he has a major business deal on the line. And so he sets out to frame Ben and then drives him out into the desert to die. It’s the start of a cat-and-mouse chase that has Ben fighting for his life.

From Frankenstein to Re-Animator and Pet Semetary, bringing things back from the dead has never turned out to be a good idea. That however doesn’t stop a group of researchers led by Frank (Mark Duplass) and his fiancée Zoe (Olivia Wilde) from doing just that.

Meet Jerry (Ryan Reynolds), a friendly dude who works at the Milton Bathtub Factory. He lives in an apartment with his dog, Bosco, and his cat, Mr. Whiskers. Small-town life, right? Except for the fact that Jerry never quite recovered from a childhood trauma and as a result, suffers from bouts of schizophrenia during which he holds conversations with his dog, his cat and the head of one of his dates (Gemma Arterton) that he keeps stocked in his fridge.  If Lisa (Anna Kendrick) knew about this, she probably wouldn’t go out with the guy. But she doesn’t. Not right away at least.
