Lucious Lunacy, A Modern Moron Movie Review



Upon death, there is absolute nothingness, or perhaps indeed, a tangible experience in the realms beyond death.

The 2017 “Flatliners” movie is about five medical students who journey to the other side of life by stopping their hearts for several minutes at a time while the others resuscitate the one person who has been intentionally flatlined.  



Courtney, portrayed by Ellen Page is the first person to embark upon this dangerous experiment, and at first, it’s wonderful. After being clinically dead for well over a minute, Courtney’s brain has been rewired, and her musical skills on the piano are returned to her, and medical school has become a lot easier for her. When some of her counterparts follow suit, their experiences are a tad different, yet still positive life changes.

Diego Luna who portrays Ray, the smartest of the five medical students says the others are stupid for intentionally having their hearts stopped, but he’s always there to bring them back to life!

Exploring the afterlife becomes a nightmarish debacle for the four students who have ventured to the 
regions of death and beyond. Their ability to recognize what is real or imagined becomes increasingly difficult for them to determine. Intense nightmares become a harsh awakening to what lies in the uncharted depths of death and despair.



A four star must see for fans of sci-fi horror.
