I already saw this movie but since it was a while back, I thought I might as well check it out again. To be honest, I always had some mixed feelings about the damned thing. First of all, on one hand, it was actually a really preposterous concept. I mean, after Nelson almost didn't come back from the dead, was it realistic that they would keep on trying again and again with each time the same outco... read more

View all Flatliners reviews

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.

Movies I Watched in January 2019 (30 movies items)

" Date: 1/31/2019 Viewed: Netflix Re-watch I haven't seen this movie in the last 20 years since I was a kid and decided to rewatch it. I still enjoy the movie despite its flaws. The story can be a bit messy at times, but I really do like the characters in this movie. I also like the atmosphere that the movie has as well. Worth checking out if you never seen it before. I also have no plans on seeing the remake that came out over a year ago."
