this film have a decidedly weird setting and take place in a school that really old to begin with but it certainly doesn not look like any sterile medical school environment . very gothic and atmospheric . a for the film itself and well and ok and the premise be a bit far fetch but hey and that why we watch movie and isn not it . and it less far fetch than some of the garbage that out these day and that for sure . medical student be experiment with hort term death and a in allow themselves to be briefly dead so they can experience what the afterlife be like . it kind of nice and in some case and till part of it come back with the voyager and start meddle in their earthbound live . i hadn not see this film in year till i get it on dvd and i have to say that i would forget just how good it be . and it strike me that julia robert look truly beautiful in this film and not like actress of today that be supposedly gorgeous but be dress and make up like cheap hooker . ahh and the good old day . anyway and this be a great flick and perhaps not for fundamentalist christian but many others may enjoy it . positive star .
