A group of young medical students decide that to know what happens in the afterlife they need to really see for themselves. Stopping your heart and glimpsing the other side before being resuscitated has side effects though, initially a wave of feeling invincible subsides to the possibility that something from the other side wants to drag you back.

Reboot, re-imagining or sequel? Given comments made in the press by Kiefer Sutherland this is a sequel, although that seems odd given no references to the original are made and the fact that it has the same name. Either way, it is a reasonable version of the 1990 original, but is also mostly forgettable at the same time.

The cast and the opening half of the film are solid, but it is let down by not being particularly scary and all resolving rather quickly and tidily. Forgettable not painful to watch.
