“Flatliners” (*** out of four) was a chilling story of five medical students (Ellen Page, Diego Luna, Nino Dobrev, James Norton, Kiersey Clemons) who begin a daring experiment in which they experience life after death but soon realize that they have brought back unresolved memories from their past which may endanger all of them. Allegedly a sequel to the 1990 original which starred Kiefer Sutherland and Julia Roberts but it’s virtually a remake with a lot of the same scenes and themes. Still, it’s well-acted, extremely well directed, and features lots of style and scares. Note: Although Sutherland’s character returns as the student’s medical administrator, he doesn’t seem to be playing the same person.
