Flatliners: first trailer for the sequel to the cult 90s horror film comes to life

Better off dead … the first trailer for Flatliners.

It’s alive! The first trailer for the forthcoming sequel of Flatliners has been revealed.

The film, which stars Ellen Page, is a follow-up to the 1990 cult psychological horror of the same name about a group of medical students who seek to find out the truth about the afterlife by subjecting each other to near-death experiences. The original film starred Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts and Kevin Bacon. Sutherland will appear in the sequel.

The trailer for the new film suggests it follows a similar plot to the original, with Page and her fellow students conducting experiments on each other that prompt dangerous paranormal experiences. James Norton (Happy Valley) and Diego Luna (Rogue One) are among the other cast members, while Niels Arden Oplev, who is best known for his work on the original Swedish adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, is on directorial duties.

Flatliners is released in Australian cinemas on 28 September and UK and US cinemas on 29 September.
