Flatliners (2017)

Flatliners (2017) is a clinical failure that wastes Ellen Page and Diego Luna in a script adding nothing to Joel Schumacher's cult 1990 thriller. The original's 48% Rotten Tomatoes score at least captures a cult audience, while this remake's 16% rating—32 percentage points lower—proves its irrelevance. With no new ideas, the film reduces near-death exploration to bland jump scares, missing the eerie tension that made the first a midnight-movie staple.
