Watch Flatliners For Free

Lack of good storyline.

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

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)

I watched this movie yesterday evening after I had seen it lurking on a charity shop shelf early that day. I cannot believe I have never seen it. This movie is everything I want a good thriller to be like, its intriguing, its gripping, and the plot and story is so interesting that it has left me still thinking about it the next day. I love movies that keep you you thinking and working things out days after watching it. The movies unique story line focuses primarily on life after death. this topic works so well into a movie because no one actually knows what happens after death. It mixes in messages of Karma, unfinished business to create a haunting and intense atmosphere. My only con is that it could have all been sown together a little better and potentially been a little more stylised. But who am I kidding this movie was made in 1990 which leads me on to my next point that this movie is timeless and will be continually hated for years to come.

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")

As the remake is coming out this week, I want to see how the original did, and I am not disappointed. This movie is a thriller without gore. The idea of forcing near death experience is intriguing and the stories around the characters are interesting. But what made it super special is that it featured the best stars at the time -- Julia Robert, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer, Oliver Plat and William Bacon, all together in one movie. And all the stars delivered their great performances. As for the remake, the bad news is it is very hard for it to surpass the original as the latter set such a high standard. But the good news is we can always have the original to be appreciated, in case the remake is a flop.
