Starring : Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin, Oliver Platt
Director : Joel Schumacher
Running Time : 99 mins

A group of young medical students decide to try out an experiment which temporarily kills them then brings them back to life. As they try to go for increasing periods of time in a state of death, they start having visions of people who have dies in the past, and soon these ghosts start coming back with them when they return to the land of the living.

This is a great little movie with such a simple plotline that is taken to the extremes and really takes the almost banal scares to another level altogether. Every member of the cast pulls their weight in this movie, but the most memorable performance for me has to come from Sutherland, who is beyond reproach in this film – his best performance second only to Freeway.
