What happens

Flatliners is a 2017 American science fiction psychological horror film directed by Niels Arden Oplev and written by Ben Ripley. A stand-alone sequel to and remake of the 1990 film of the same name, it stars Elliot Page, Diego Luna, Nina Dobrev, James Norton, and Kiersey Clemons. The story follows five medical students who attempt to conduct experiments that produce near-death experiences. The film was released in the United States on September 29, 2017, by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label, and was panned by critics, who generally remarked that it repeated the problems of the original in failing to do justice to its interesting premise.
