    Storyline

    Edit
    A medical student, Courtney, is obsessed with the idea of the afterlife, wanting to find out what happens after death. She invites fellow students Jamie and Sophia to join her in an experiment, in an unused hospital room: using defibrillation to stop her heart for sixty seconds while recording her brain, and then reviving her. She assures them they would not be held responsible for any accidents. Sophia is against this, but Jamie does it anyway. After sixty seconds, they panic as they are unable to revive her, but eventually manage to with the help of fellow student Ray. Later, Marlo, a rival of Ray, arrives and learns of the experiment..

    Edit
    • Trivia
      This movie is NOT a sequel to the 1990 movie. It is a remake, a re-imagining, or a version of the previous movie and has no other connection to it at all. Although Kiefer Sutherland appears in both versions, he plays two different characters.
    • Goofs
      When Courtney went in for flatlines, she mentioned no metal allowed inside the room as the scanner contains magnet but there are laptops, and mobile phones and other medical equipment which can be attracted by a strong magnet.

    In Scotland we call this "pish"
    Terrible. Acting was OK but bordered on comical. Not scary at all and second part was a bit loose.

    Could have been darker with more urgency but flapped around quite a bit. The ending was boring as hell and didn't seem to convey anything.

    Should've got to see Kingsman instead.
