This movie begins with a doctor and an assistant trying to revive a man who has just suffered a massive coronary. The man's name is "Dr. Eric Robinson" (Dan Kruse) and he has purposely brought the condition upon himself. The cardiologist happens to be his best friend, "Dr. Carl Burke" (Terry Jernigen) and the woman assisting him is a psychiatrist named "Dr. Marissa Holloway" (Emilie Jo Tisdale). Anyway, as Eric is being brought back to life the first words he utters upon regaining consciousness is "Loose lips sink ships". Not long afterward he gets up out of his hospital bed and steals an ambulance. Now, rather than reveal too much of the plot and risk spoiling the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this is a movie about "Near Death Experiences" and how they relate to Christianity. That said, even though I think that this is an extremely interesting subject I must admit that I found the graphics, dialogue and some of the acting to be rather second-rate. No doubt the low-budget had much to do with this. In any case, although this film had its moments I thought that the end result was rather disappointing and I have rated this movie accordingly. Slightly below average.

I ran into this on late-night Christian TV. I was initially disappointed, as the story moved along somewhat ploddingly. It begins with a guy being revived from death in a hospital that looks like the basement of an oil refinery, that's lit entirely in red. Later, we discover that the patient is actually a doctor intrigued by reports of near-death experiences in which patients report seeing Heaven.Wanting to see for himself, he injects himself with a deadly cocktail, and calls a doctor friend to revive him.As it turns out, he travels through a tunnel of light to Heaven, which is an incredibly beautiful mountain range with lights flitting around. One of these lights turns into a human (presumably God), and informs the doctor that it "isn't his time" and he "has to go". Inexplicably, he's then thrown into Hell. If it isn't his time for Heaven, isn't it not his time for Hell, too? Anyway, he flies through a tunnel of fire and lands in the scorching plains of Hell, where he soon runs into a dead colleague who's begging for water. We learn via flashback that the reason the colleague was cast into Hell is that he channel-surfed past John Hagee on the TV. Wow...pretty touchy, God! As the doctor's friend revives him, he's drawn back to Earth, presumably to get all preachy on everyone with his newfound belief.I laughed long and loud at this film. It includes everything: the stereotypical smug and sneering atheist, the righteous convert, the ignorant scientist, and the silly mythology.A funny but happily short film. Might be good for drinking games at a party of heathen friends.

This Christian movie does an excellent job of using out of body experience as a tool to communicate the Gospel message. I am surprised by good acting, storyline, and camera work on this low budget production. It is not a cinema movie, but captivating and it does what it was made to do. Make people think about life after death.Some reviewers bash the movie for lack of theological integrity, but I disagree. No movie can perfectly portray heaven or hell. Books, painting, or movies can only give a glimpse of what heaven or hell might be. The movie shows hell does exist and only faith in Christ can save you, while stressing the fact that your good morality cannot save you.I have to say, the movie's biggest theological weakness is the 70's and 80's presentation of the Gospel. There is a heavy emphasis on faith in Christ. There is a lack of communicating that living a godly life must also be integrated to your faith. James clearly says faith without works is dead.

This film was excellent. I'm so glad to see filmmakers of faith beginning to make quality movies. This film will really get you thinking about the reality of heaven and hell. For those who believe that the Bible is truly God's Word, an instruction manual to how to live life on earth, then this film maintains the accuracy of scripture. I like the way the director took a NDE (Near Death Experience) of someone who had not accepted Christ as Savior and their eyes were opened to what Hell is really like. His use of a fictional story to make a point worked very well. I highly recommend this film to anyone interested in NDE's or to find out what the Bible says about Heaven and Hell or life after death.
