Loved it - a science movie that makes you think about what lies beyond.

I can't take a film seriously that didn't even bother to find out that you can't defibrillate someone who is flatlining. HUGE mistake on directors part

It's certainly underrated, I find it very entertaining, and interesting to see some A-list stars together in their early years.

Truly.

It really is. The atmosphere is incredible. The gothic setting of the medical school, the almost-abandoned cafe they all go to at night, the hallucinatory lighting, the occasional slo-mo. Schumacher was a master of mood.

Layer that on to a great concept and story with a miracle ensemble cast and you’ve got a classic. Way underrated.

A shame they had to make a shitty remake and dilute the good name of the original, but it probably helped to get the 4K disc of the original produced, which looks fantastic.
