Flatliners is a remake of the 1990 movie with Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts.I would say it's a darker one ,as in the original nobody dies.

 

After her sister dies in a car accident ,Courtney carries the burden of driving the car and killing her. So,she keeps on thinking of a way to see what's on the other side.

She manages to convince a few students to help her "kill " herself one night at midnight. She comes out of this experience a changed woman,as she believes she's smarter and can remember details from long ago.

 

Seeing how she gets smarter,her other "partners in crime" decide to take the leap into the unknown,as they find  hard to study everything thrown at them.

 

As the others take the leap of faith,Courtney is being visited by some entity whom at first she believes to be her dead sister. Just that it's not.

It seems this entity is latching on to their guilty conscience and would stop at nothing to get them back into the realm they visited for a few minutes.

 

The movie wasn't bad,it had good acting,good visual effects,but I personally liked the original best. I don't know why, I can't explain it,I think it was also the fact in that one nobody died and they had the chance to redeem themselves.

 

Kiefer Sutherland who played the lead in the original comes back in this one as their professor.

 

Rating : Worth a watch !
