"I did not come to medical school to murder my classmates, no matter how deranged they might be." - Randy Steckle

Why watch this? You'll love this electrifying thriller about the death experience.

Plot Summary: Five ambitious medical students engage in a dangerous experiment: they temporarily stop their hearts to experience near-death states, hoping to glimpse the afterlife. However, their unauthorized journeys into the unknown bring back unsettling consequences that threaten their lives in the waking world. The students must then confront the frightening repercussions of their forbidden foray into the realm between life and death.

Dad's Preview: Sure, it's a silly premise concocted to simply enable Hollywood's prettiest faces to star together and enthrall its audience. That is what all movies are, right? Here our young actors 'kill' a classmate, then count the seconds before reviving them. As they push the dead time longer, the mental toll taken is more extreme and horribly more mind-altering.
