Review of Flatliners (2017) by Thevoidscellar — 22 Oct 2017

Here we go another scary remake for your viewing pleasure, a tale about what lies on the other side of the veil. first and foremost whatever you think this movie is, you hit it on the head, from start to finish its predictable which might I add is not always a bad thing, sometimes the viewer needs to know what is going to happen especially in complex stories, alas this is not a complex story.

The main premise of this remake is the main character Courtney (Played by Ellen Page) accidentally killed her younger sister in a car accident, nine years later she is the most unprofessional med student in a hospital I've ever seen, she asks a patient that has just been brought in "your heart stopped beating for (insert time here), what was that like? did you see a light? a tunnel?" who asks that? where did you learn your bed side manner? the YouTube comment section? moving on, she then tries to recruit other med students (by lying to them) and then talks one of them into killing her with a plan to bring her back, so after that has happened she is able to do amazing things, then the others want their go as well, why? I don't know. I don't really want to die thanks, but you do you. after sometime she starts getting spooked and freaking out, same slowly happens to the others, their guilt manifesting as "Something" (demon, ghost, god no clue they never tell you) after Ellen Page's character has a run in with her dead sister they come to the conclusion they need to apologise for what they did wrong. and that seems to fix things. with a tale of love and loss, and growing as a person they end up being better people for it.
