Out of Body
What really happens during an out-of-body experience? Husband and wife scientists Rebecca Warfield and Ben McCormick are trying to find out by subjecting monkeys to electric impulses. They see it as pure science, but to religious groups, like Family Foremost, it is sacrilege. Desperate for funding, Rebecca decides to run the experiment with a human subject -- herself. She asks her assistant, Amy, to help. Amy, a secret religious fanatic, alters the experiment. Rebecca escapes from her body, but unless she finds a way to communicate, she will remain trapped in another dimension.
After the female protagonist’s body dies and her husband traverses to the "other dimension" to join her, the two reunite and undergo some type of transition to whatever is beyond.
By D. Stuart, The Outer Limits moderator on Wednesday, November 24, 1999 - 4:08 pm: The female protagonist vanished after her body could not be resuscitated, implying that she had already transcended to the next level. However, she later materializes before her husband. Where was she during the time at the hospital to her husband's leap into the "other dimension?" Happy Thanksgiving!
