What critics say influenced Flatliners
Schumacher contributes a film-length yakker in his surprisingly fey way, talking about how he would love to do another vampire movie if only someone would ask him and making me, in a series of synaptic misfires too Byzantine to describe, want to see Flatliners again for the first time in a decade at least.
What isn't in evidence is the sort of overheated lunacy that made the William Hurt speed-freak trip movie Altered States (1980) such delectable trash.
"It's a good day to die!" Kiefer Sutherland announces, with a mean-crazy look, in the first scene; obviously he's just been watching "Little Big Man."
