I had high hopes for this movie because I love the concept of it. Sadly the movie is somewhat poorly executed and the acting is pretty bad and the dialogues are cheesy. The story is also majorly dissapointing at times. They had a few good ideas though, and the movie actually has some intense parts. But it doesn't last very long.

"I'm sorry... we *trespassed* on your... *fucking* territory. God! I'm *sorry*! Isn't that enough?" Maybe I went into Flatliners expecting a bit too much? Because to me it felt drawn out, the movie could've been 20 minutes shorter and I hoped that Nelson (Kiefer Sutherland) would've stayed dead. Anyway I really like the premise of Flatliners, I really enjoy the cast and it is beautifully fully shot but I can't shake the feeling that I felt bored watching it. I even fell asleep near the one-hour mark. It feels so ambitious but it never really packs the punch I think it wants to. If you enjoy the cast it might be worth a watch. Maybe I wasn't totally in the mood for it and that is why it felt so boring but I don't think I'll rewatch this one anytime soon. Such a shame, I wanted to like this so much.

Stop for a minute and contemplate the fact that Joel Schumacher made this when he was channeling Joel Schumacher and it actually turned out to be a good, compelling, and frightening film.

How the heck did that happen?

I mean, sure, the story was good for a horror flick and it was pretty compel More

Never been to medical school but I can imagine this is very removed from reality. This is more a style piece. It's a very dark movie and I mean that literally. It's so dark it doesn't make much sense like the ultra grainy camera that would be unusable and the poorly lit medical area that looks like More

The arrogance of medicinally inclined youth!

I remember coming out the theatre after having seen Flatliners in 1990 and being really annoyed. The premise of the story is so superb and was ripe for a terrifying horror film, but Flatliners then, and now, is not terrifying, but that actually doesn't More
