Arrow Video Flatliners UHD [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

Product Information

Audiences can sense David’s remorse and we see him do the work to start his and Winnie Hicks’s (Kimberly Scott) path of healing. At the University Hospital School of Medicine, five ambitious students subject themselves to a daring experiment: to temporarily induce their own deaths, hoping to glimpse the afterlife before being brought back to life.

Instead, it joins others, like The Thing (1982), which are far more thoughtful and complex in their ideas, even if the execution doesn’t crawl under my skin as expected.Restoration (2022, 11 minutes) catches up with production designer Eugenio Zanetti and art director Larry Lundy as they share their inspirations from Greek myths. If you don’t own it and you’re a fan, picking up either the Blu-ray or 4K UHD edition is likely a choice you made once you learned of this remaster’s existence. With six brand-new featurettes, a new feature-length audio commentary, and a restoration overseen by cinematographer Jan de Bont, today might just be a great day to die. Flatliners is one of those early 90s films with one foot still in the 80s, directed beautifully by the master of neon camp Joel Schumacher and starring the epitome of late80s/early 90s mega film stars triptic of Kiefer Sutherland, Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts (along with Oliver Platt and William Baldwin).

Robert's favorite genres include horror (foreign and domestic), Asian cinema and pornography (foreign and domestic).The interesting thing is that Flatliners is so clearly based in Christianity that, at least in the case of David, the mere asking for forgiveness is enough for his personal trauma to be healed and his haunting to end. The film's themes of karma and atonement get a slight focus here and there, but it still feels like an area that can be developed further.
