Amazing concept for a film that is aptly ripe for a non-CGI death sequence remake. What? They remade it! I knew it could work! Did they do CGI death sequences? Ah, dammit. Anyways, great young cast, the setup had me afraid of what they could do with it, and then they did stuff with it and it wasn't that great. Sound like any other horror movies you've ever seen? Sound like all of them? Hey, if landings were easy to stick I wouldn't delete the first draft of most of my reviews. Hmm. Needs work.

This dark thriller has a very interesting story a theme that, as of yet, has not been recreated successfully. Not only is it a very unique and interesting film, but it's excellent cast makes it a key film for the game, Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Pretty good!

I hate this stupid fucking film. Kiefer has too be one of the least watchable actors of all time, particularly when he was younger and considerably less talented than he is now. The horrible support cast play through this bland, self indulgent tripe with all the enthusiasm the shitty script and plot deserve.

What comes around goes around. Explained by peak Julia Roberts.

A very original, frightening story about what the afterlife may hold. Talented cast and strong filmmaking all-around.

an underrated film with a stellar young cast

This promised a lot, but in the end was a bit of a drag. It had some good tension, and a great dark atmosphere, but the content was very lacking. I mean, after death experiences leading to a redemption cop-out? The first experience in the field looked like a telephone company advert. Please!

Interesting premise. Not-so-captivating movie.

What does it mean to be dead? Watch this movie to fall asleep and find out!

A film that I watched as a youngster and that always stayed with me - also because of the (in)famous song of course. Upon rewatching it, it still delivered, so quite a lot of points!

Vaguely interesting premise, but the execution is so poorly written, directed and acted that it's barely tolerable. Only Oliver Platt's character is interesting. As for the rest of the group, I was hoping they wouldn't wake up...

As much as I hate Joel Schumacher and Julia Roberts, I actually like this movie. It's entertaining and scary and Keifer is in top form. Oh, and the little kid in the hoodie still scares the crap out of me.

Flatliners is the sort of movie whose script has a decent pulse, but somewhere along the line you realise that there's a heart murmur present at the core of this movie inefficiently pumping mediocre Hollywood cliches your way. This review is in a similar vein.
