a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A Mixing of Sci-fiction and horror styles this picture was made as an original idea, instead to give right answers which you didn't find it here,the director developed the plot without a propper adviser to share wth him according such interesting matters, in USA has today a plenty of studies post mortem or almost dead serious survey that could helped such production,nonetheless Joel Schumacher chose a shortcut as a simply entertainment only and became a death experience is a silly redemption cases of guilty.....simpleton approach about beyond the grave!!!Resume:First watch: 1994 / How many: 2 / Source: TV-DVD / Rating: 7

As the remake is coming out this week, I want to see how the original did, and I am not disappointed. This movie is a thriller without gore. The idea of forcing near death experience is intriguing and the stories around the characters are interesting. But what made it super special is that it featured the best stars at the time -- Julia Robert, Kevin Bacon, Kiefer, Oliver Plat and William Bacon, all together in one movie. And all the stars delivered their great performances. As for the remake, the bad news is it is very hard for it to surpass the original as the latter set such a high standard. But the good news is we can always have the original to be appreciated, in case the remake is a flop.

While interested in seeing anything Kiefer Sutherland appears in, I was a little hesitant because of Julia Roberts. I have never liked her and don't understand why so many people do. I saw it in theatres and dragged people back day after day to watch it again. Think i saw it nine times in theatres, six times on TV, four times on Pay-per-view and then bought the movie. (VHS back then!) Really enjoyed it, especially the end scene, where it seems Billy forgave him because he came back to apologize. Looking forward to the new one as it is not a remake, but a continuation.
