At the University Hospital School of Medicine, five ambitious students subject themselves to a daring experiment: to temporarily induce their own deaths, hoping to glimpse the afterlife before being brought back to life. But as competition within the group intensifies and their visions of the world beyond increasingly bleed into their waking lives, they’re about to learn that the greatest threat comes not from the spirit world but from the long-suppressed secrets of their own pasts.

Stub Catalog: May 11, 1996 - Twister
- ‘96 was a solid year for blockbuster movies. This was right around when I started going to movies with my friends instead of my father. Seismic shift. He gave me a good start. I’m not sure if my choices followed through on that promise. We’ll see.
- The scene with the cow killed me. You know the one. Also when Philip Seymour Hoffman shouts “We crave sustenance!” Random.
