Flatliners

 

The question about whether there is life after death has been the subject of a fair few films. Approaching the question from different angles and trying to gain a fresh view on the possible after life, Flatliners is one that always springs, not just because of the 90s resurgence period we are going through. With the future star-studded cast, the classic 90s film tone bleeds through the film and director Joel Schumacher was able to leave his mark on the now cult classic film. 

When medical student Nelson Wright creates an experiment to find out what happens when you die, he convinces a group of his fellow students to aid him in his dangerous experiment. When Nelson is successfully brought back from the dead, the others want to try for themselves. But soon after returning, Nelson starts to have dark visions of his past that start to physically harm in the present. At first, he says nothing to the group but soon, one by one after they return to life each member of the groups starts to see things too, as if they brought something back with them from their death.
