Flatliners falls flat as a horror movie and fails to improve upon its source material, rendering this reboot dead on arrival.

This review may contain spoilers. Não duvido nem um pouco que todos os estudantes de medicina queiram morrer. O filme é okayzinho, o que salva é o lindo do ✨Elliot Page✨ onde tudo que toca vira ouro. A história é meio furreca, os motivos são furreca, os personagens são furreca, tudo extremamente furreca. A personagem da Nina Dobrev tinha mais é que morrer mesmo, mas gostei da frase dita pelo ✨Elliot Page✨ no final dizendo que ela deve se perdoar, muito bonito. Os efeitos especiais são bonitinhos e gosto como cada um teve um experiência depois de morrer. Mas se eles estavam sendo assombrados por suas respectivas culpas, então todas as pessoas que reviveram deveriam estar também. No fim das contas, Courtney (ou ✨Elliot Page✨) estava apenas sendo egoísta querendo ver novamente sua irmã, e viu ‘ne mona, parabéns. A história não prende nem um pouco e acho que poderia ter sido trabalhado melhor a ferramenta principal do filme: vida após a morte. Porra, tanta coisa legal e optaram por fazer filmezinho de terror indie 👍👍👍👍

Flatliners – Heute ist ein schöner Tag zum Sterben ist ein Science-Fiction-Thriller von Joel Schumacher (Regie), das Drehbuch schrieb Peter Filardi. Der Film versucht dramatisch und tiefgründig zu sein, wer auf einen Horror-Film des klassischen Sinnes hofft wird enttäuscht werden, wer aber auf Mysterien-Thriller steht wird ihn mögen… . Die Geschichte des Filmes will, das Mysterium Nahtod-Erfahrung in Verbindung mit Schuld und Sühne darstellen, dabei schwankt es hin und her zwischen Metaphysik, Medizin und Psychologie.

Medycy-studenci na chwilę zabijają się i wskrzeszają dla beki po pracy. Zaskakująco zwyczajny i przeciętny jakby horror

Flatliners, the remake, is a good example of how the gene pool doesn't necessarily become stronger with time.

If you find Flatliners to be conceptually interesting (which it is), stay home and rent the original.

Rated: 1/5

The Verge

Instead, this is yet another cinematic Frankenstein's monster, stitched together out of scavenged parts, and shocked back to life for no clear or compelling reason.

Next Best Picture

There's no sense in burying the lede: Flatliners is terrible. Instead of attempting a philosophical exploration of death and life, Flatliners settles for being a poor, generic thriller without any real thrills.

Rated: 2/10

Deep Focus Review

Schumacher's Flatliners is prime material for a remake, being a slick idea that wasn't handled very well in the first place; but alas, this version is a disposable, nonsensical, and instantly forgettable mess that makes the original seem almost masterful.

Rated: 0.5/4
