Reviews


80
The New York Times - Caryn James
Flatliners is a stylish, eerie psychological horror film laced with wit, a movie that thrives on its characters' guilty secrets and succeeds on the strength of the director Joel Schumacher's flair for just this sort of smart, unpretentious entertainment.
80
Variety - Unnamed
Flatliners is a strikingly original, often brilliantly visualized film from director Joel Schumacher and writer Peter Filardi.
75
Chicago Tribune - Dave Kehr
It's much to Schumacher's credit that Flatliners, for all of its crazy excess, does not turn into camp.
75
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Flatliners is an original, intelligent thriller, well-directed by Joel Schumacher. I only wish it had been restructured so we didn't need to go through the same crisis so many times.
75
Washington Post - Rita Kempley
Flatliners is a heart-stopping, breathtakingly sumptuous haunted house of a movie.
