I searched nearly 6 pages worth of threads and couldnt find the discussion on movies that should be remade today. I could have sworn there was one going on.

Anyway, I got to catching an oldie from the 90's tonight, still watching it right now as a matter of fact and it got me thinking it would be an excellent movie to remake. It is from the year 1990 to be exact.

Remember this one, FLATLINERS. A group of medical students stop each others hearts in a controlled experiment hoping to catch a glimpse of the afterlife, but they get more than they bargained far when the world of the living and the world of the afterlife begin to coincide.

I think it still would be a fresh premise and so long as Hollywood didnt make it into a cgi crap fest, I believe it would have alot of potential. Always spooked me when I was a kid, and i've never forgot about it when mentioning sci fi/horror/thriller movies from the late 80's early 90's.

It was a good film. But I fear in this age of a 'bubble-wrapped' lifestyle that showing a film encouraging someone to deliberately pause their life, you just know some dipst IS going to try it dont you?

If that happens then it will be blamed for all the problems in the world, etc. etc.


The film I liked in the same afterlife theme was Brainstorm, where they create a method of recording human thoughts.
Yeah there is that fear as well. With the whole choking game too. Havent seen Brainstorm, have to give it a watch
