Disturbing, but Page's acting is good of course.  (I've decided to leave my tags for him as deadnamed, until and unless I actually review a post-transition movie of his.)  Maureen Medved adapted her own novel, and Bruce McDonald directed.

I liked this movie much more than I expected, since the premise is not of a sort that usually appeals to me.  But I thought the performances were good and I was pleased that it's more psychological horror than gory horror.  There were some threads that hung loosely (for instance, why is Ray too saintly to resist flatlining, and what is his backstory?), but overall it worked for me.  And, no, I haven't seen the 1990 version.  Niels Arden Oplev directed.
