After.Life Reviews

There’s not enough happening to call it a horror movie, not enough drama to feel emotionally engaged, and as a result, there’s little reason to care about how uninvolving the mystery proves to be.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 9, 2023

A horror film, also about alien pretensions, simultaneously disturbing, inexplicable and useless. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 18, 2022

Unfortunately, the movie veers in the most predicable, Saw-like direction possible just as the characters are starting to crackle with originality.

You should just go see it for yourself. Unless you shouldn't.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 4, 2011

Thematic rigor mortis sets in long before the final reel.

| Jan 3, 2011

Despite the meandering pace, and lack of fearsome thrills, After.Life is a chilling fairytale that grabs you and takes you on a strangely hypnotic ride.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 14, 2010

There is too much reliance on one character's word against another which leads the audience back and forth over the truth.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 11, 2010

takes its ambiguities all the way to the grave - and beyond.

Full Review | Sep 7, 2010

Proposes a novel scenario, but bogs it down with cliche filmmaking techniques so much, you'll be hoping we all just die and go to heaven; end of story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 13, 2010

makes you think too much about what it's doing, rather than what it's about, thus drawing you away from the deeper philosophical questions of life and death at its core

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 12, 2010

Born again Ricci haunts a mortuary, while perfecting post-mortem freaky in the nude. This may or may not be your cup of embalming fluid, whether intriguing those with unconventional viewing preferences, or seriously creeping you out.

| Aug 3, 2010

Confusing chiller explores death; too dark for teens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2010

It dresses up boilerplate horror in a classy shell, yet never gives it the pulse it needs.

| Original Score: 5.2/10 | Jul 17, 2010

A stylish piece of horror-movie hokum.

Full Review | Jul 6, 2010

Has some first-timer flaws but avoids 'cheesy horror movie' status by serious tapping into the vein Poe mined for premature burial.

| Apr 15, 2010

It's too dull for grown-ups and too nightmarish for children. It makes Nip/Tuck look like a Mel Brooks musical.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 14, 2010

Best of all is Neeson, who is nicely creepy. Whether he's genuinely gifted or knuckle-chewing insane, he's not the kind of guy you'd want to spend time with, either way.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2010

An atmospheric effort curious enough to intrigue both hardcore horror fans and those simply looking for a good thriller.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 13, 2010

Plays like a snooty, deliberately obtuse version of Saw.

| Original Score: D | Apr 11, 2010

I have seen my share of cheapie horror flicks that invariably end with the CARNIVAL OF SOULS twist...[Wojtowicz-Vosloo] knows you know this stuff, and offers it up as a possibility right off the bat.
