Synopsis

Storyline:

A medical student, Courtney, is obsessed with the idea of the afterlife, wanting to find out what happens after death. She invites fellow students Jamie and Sophia to join her in an experiment, in an unused hospital room: using defibrillation to stop her heart for sixty seconds whilst recording her brain, and then reviving her. She assures them they would not be held responsible for any accidents. Sophia is against this, but Jamie does it anyway. After sixty seconds, they panic as they are unable to revive her, but eventually manage to with the help of fellow student Ray. Later, Marlo, a rival of Ray, arrives and learns of the experiment..

User Reviews: It’s just depressing for a movie lover like me to see a film like Joel Schumacher’s 1990 Flatliners remade. Why? Can anyone come out with something we haven’t seen before or at least from a fresh new POV. Somebody told me that my reaction is "generational" – I fear that’s true. It makes me feel really old. I almost walked out of Mother!, the other day – something I’ve never done – because I felt treated like a moron. To steal from Robert Polanski to do what, what? Here is even worse. They’re stealing from Joel Schumacher without having any of the…what was it that the 1990 had that this one hasn’t? Well let’s say that the first one wasn’t a remake. Where are the mavericks? The new ones. The ones I love are in their 70’s or gone. I do apologize I’m just venting my frustration. Thank you for indulging me.
