Five med students experiment with death, just like Kiefer Sutherland

“Do you want to have fun with me later?” Ellen Page’s medical student Courtney hits on James Norton’s Jamie – or so he thinks.

Apparently coming back from the dead is a major rush. Time seems to slow down and Courtney says she sees “pure energy”.

Jamie gets overexcited after being revived and goes tearing down the motorway (has he been watching Psychomania?).

Does Marlo have a guilty secret? She appears to be tormented by watery accusations and, er, jellyfish. Maybe she poisoned an aquarium.

Turns out she actually wants him to stop her heart and then revive her. He’d probably have preferred Mexican food and a cheeky snog.

Courtney and friends (Diego Luna as Ray; Nina Dobrev as Marlo and Kiersey Clemons as Sophia) set out to document their experiences.

Courtney pushes it too far and spooky things start happening. They hear weird cries and start seeing apparitions wherever they go.

The visions start to become tangible – and deadly. “I didn’t know that the side effects would start hunting us down,” says Jamie.

“What happens to us after we die? The only way to find out is to see for ourselves.” Great plan, guys, but we think we’ll sit this one out.

When they come back to life the gang have enhanced skills, as if their brains have altered. Courtney can play piano now. Woo.

“Maybe we’ve opened a door...” says Jamie. Indeed, it’s not long before the visions start to gnaw away at their sweet, sweet sanity.

Waaargh! Courtney gets dragged off into the dark in classic horror style. This had better not be the final shot of the movie...
