Flatliners sits somewhere between Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and R. L. Stevenson’s Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Like those Gothic horror stories, Flatliners is about scientists who push the boundaries of the impossible … and sin against God and society as a result. Here, Nelson Wright is the ‘mad scientist’ itching to discover what lies ...
The flatliners want to know if near-death tales of bright lights and out-of-body experiences are true. But what they find appears to be hell, i.e., a place where they pay for their sins.

Also like Hitchcocks’ killers, he believes that gives him the right to murder. After his first near-death experience, Nelson feels even more god-like. “Can you hear the traffic on the lake sh...
