Nelson, Rachel,
David, William and Randy are medical students. They begin to try to have near death experiences. They each have their heart stopped and
then they are revived. Each one
has a different experience but they start to deep memories of their
childhood. It’s something that
they did or something that happened to them. Their experiences begin to intensify and they begin to
physically suffer from the memories.
Even thought this
really didn’t happen, I thought it was rash and very dangerous to go to the
brink of death and come back.
There seemed to be too many risks of not coming back. When they started to experience
problems, they didn’t talk about it or stop another person from doing the death
procedure. All their work to
become doctors could’ve been shattered by these experiments. I don’t think it was worth it!! It was interested to see the actors
when they were all young. 3* (This movie is OK)
