“The problem with this movie is that the premise is moot.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI personally have been dead for a period of time (granted, hours, not days), and was brought back to life. My body was brought to a hospital, not a house (as in this movie), and the work was done by medical professionals (not as in this movie). The year was 2005, ten full years before this movie was made.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLetu0026#39;s skip the discussion of the after-death and re-integration experience issue; leave it for another time and place. And, I donu0026#39;t want to write a spoiler.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe fact is Iu0026#39;m alive and healthy today, and I have all (or at least most) of my memories. Iu0026#39;m writing this review. Aside from a nurse welcoming me back as u0026quot;a member of the walking dead – donu0026#39;t worry, thereu0026#39;s more of you every dayu0026quot; (Iu0026#39;m presuming she was just being a wise-ass), thereu0026#39;s nothing creepy or even dramatic about the experience. Profound, yes. But, as the nurse noted, this has become a daily phenomenon. There arenu0026#39;t riots in the streets, and people arenu0026#39;t agonizing over it. The practitioners arenu0026#39;t losing sleep about it or worrying about becoming pariahs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTechnically, the movie is OK, itu0026#39;s just that the premise is, well, way out of date. That effectively drains most of the real drama from the film.”
