I hadn't seen "Flatliners" for many years and thought that I would pay it a visit (especially since it was available at a low price). The film came out in 1990 and the actors all look so very young, as I was too! It is an interesting tale about medical students trying to see what lies beyond death. To do this they have to "flatline" and stop all body functions- including the brain. Others in the group have to attempt to bring back the "subject". In this case, the subject is one of the group that has voluntarily "gone under" or, in other words, died. A few of the group do this and continue to increase the time that they flatline. The story has suspense, good acting, and some scary death activities. All in all, it is an entertaining film that I would recommend it to others.

Great movie. Audio a bit low at times, but still worth it.

Now there’s a Concept a bunch of med students are willingly flat lining themselves as a competitive sport and as a research-Curiosity—just to see if there’s something on the other side to test the theory between heaven and hell or are we just human we die and that’s it. But Little did they know they brought something back with them. I haven’t seen the remake yet but I hear is a little bit better than the first but again to each his own.

Medical students begin to explore the realm of near death experiences, hoping for insights. Each has their heart stopped and is revived. They begin having flashes of walking nightmares from their childhood, reflecting sins they committed or had committed against them. The experiences continue to intensify, and they begin to be physically beaten by their visions as they try and go deeper into the death experience to find a cure.

Flatliners is a relatively old movie that holds up to the test of time. It still grabs the viewer's attention from start to finish even with the dated visuals. The collectible steelbook packaging it comes in looks absolutely gorgeous on the shelf, and even comes with a clear plastic slipcover that goes over the steelbook, which makes this sought after by collectors.
