10 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies

Don’t let the title fool you into believing that this is a straight remake of Joel Schumacher’s 1990 movie about a group of medical students who experiment with near death experiences. Kiefer Sutherland reprises his role from the original (which also featured Kevin Bacon and Julia Roberts), discovering that another bunch of medical students have picked up where he left off.

The new faces include Nina Dobrev, Ellen Page and Diego Luna while the director is Niels Arden Oplev, who brought us Dead Man Down (2013) and the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2009), so hopefully the film has a harder edge than the glossy original.

The PG-13 rated The Lazarus Effect (2015) covered similar ground, so the bar isn’t set particularly high but Sony must have faith in the film – they’re opening it in between Kingsman: The Golden Circle and Blade Runner 2049.
