Critics Sentiment
Courtney flatlines for sixty seconds while recording her brain
Tessa's ghost pushes Courtney off the fire escape killing her
The film drops sharply from the effective flatline sequences to Courtney's supernatural death, losing nearly 4 points as the premise shifted from medical thriller to confusing horror.
Flatliners starts strongly with an intriguing premise and effective visual sequences during the initial flatline experiments. However, the film deteriorates significantly in the second half as it abandons its scientific foundation for supernatural elements that reviewers found confusing and poorly executed. The ending provides little satisfaction, leaving audiences disappointed despite some solid performances and technical elements.
