Absolutely the worst movie.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Five medical students experiment with "near death" experiences, until the dark consequences of past tragedies begin to jeopardize their lives. I saw the remake of this last year and it was absolutely horrible and since most of the time the original is always the best i wanted to see this movie and judge it on my own plus i was expecting something big and haunting. Unfortunately Flatliners is a 90's flick where teenagers have a death wish or something and nearly die and come back to life and this happens for the entire film and in the end turns kinda boring. (0/10)

OK this movie is not brilliant and it is no Citizen Kane but that's fine and I don't care. It was really entertaining and scary and original. The remake is kind of a turkey but this one had a great cast and was just really fun to watch, especially with friends. Seriously look at how famous the main cast are now! Kiefer Sutherland is great in this, and I loved Platt too.

The medical student Nelson Wright (Kiefer Sutherland) invites Joe Hurley (William Baldwin), David Labraccio (Kevin Bacon), Rachel Mannus (Julia Roberts) and Randy Steckle (Oliver Platt), who are friends from his class, to participate in a near death experiment where he will die for one minute to see whether there is afterlife or not. After the successful result, Nelson tells that there is something afterlife and hides that he saw the boy Billy Mahoney that he used to bully with his friends. The next to try is Joe, who likes to secretly videotape women that he has sex. He stays dead for a longer time and has an erotic experience. Then the atheist David is the next to try the experiment for a longer time. He sees the black girl Winnie Hicks that he used to bully at school, and later he is haunted by her. David tries to convince Rachel Mannus to avoid the experiment but she is already dead when he arrives at the university. Soon Rachel is haunted by her deceased father that she believes died because of her. David learns that Nelson is haunted and injured by Billy Mahoney and discovers that they are haunted by their sins and atonement is the only way out. What will happen to them?"Flatliners" is a suspenseful horror film directed by Joel Schumacher in 1990 with a great cast. The storyline of afterlife, sins and atonement is original and well-resolved. Unfortunately this great storyline was recently used in a totally unnecessary remake. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): "Linha Mortal" ("Mortal Line")

Five medical students, Nelson Wright, Rachel Mannus, David Labraccio, Joe Hurley and Randy Steckle are fascinated by death; more specifically what happens when one dies. Nelson manages to persuade them to help him with a dangerous experiment; he wasn't them to cause his clinical death then bring him back. After he returns others are eager to go next. The problem is Nelson hasn't told them about what happened after be returned; he has been tormented and even physically attacked by an apparition of a young boy he seriously wronged as a child. As the others follow Nelson by experiencing death they too are taunted by people they believe they have wronged. Dave decides that he must seek out the woman he wronged as a child and apologise. He suggests the others do the same… something that isn't easy if that person died because of you.This is a decent psychological horror even if its central premise is rather flawed; why would these students' near death experiences be considered scientifically more relevant that all the other people who have reported such phenomena? If one can get past that there are plenty of good scary moments; most notably when Nelson and David are tormented by the children they wronged… there is just something disturbing about a child genuinely terrifying an adult. The cast does a fine job; most notably Kiefer Sutherland; who nicely captures the arrogance then terror of Nelson. Julia Roberts, William Baldwin, Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon also impress as Rachel, Joe, Steckle and David respectively. Each time one of them undergoes a near death experience there is the feeling that perhaps this is the time they won't come back… each time they stay dead longer and are harder to bring back. The setting is dark and Gothic which adds to the creepy atmosphere. Overall I'd say this is good enough but isn't really a must see unless you are a fan of one or more of the main cast.
