Unfortunately, with each passing chapter, it becomes more evident that the outcome we would like is not going to come. What keeps the viewer hooked is the promise of an an upcoming climactic twist, like that in the Sixth Sense (the film which After Life has its roots in). Is she really dead or is he nuts?Īfter Life has a great set-up, but from there, things get worse.
Anna wants out, but he will not let her leave, claiming that she must accept the truth. He also tells her that he can talk to the dead. Anna wakes up in the basement of the local funeral home, and the funeral director tells her that she is dead (with a certificate to prove it). Reviewed by Samiam3 5 /10 Good idea gone wrongĭriving carelessly in the rain one night, Anna Taylor has a car accident which kills her. In the end, this is a good movie, with an interesting story and direction, only slightly let down by some of the scenes. These slightly detract from the overall focus of the storyline, but keep you guessing if she is alive or dead. With numerous scenes, or nightmare scenes like the confrontation with her younger self, and the old woman's corpse walking and talking. But the movie has several scenes that seem to ruin this, and push the film to seeming supernatural grounds. Numerous clues point to this in the movie, breath on the mirror, the 'muscle relaxant' that shes injected with and the fact that shes walking around and has to be locked in :)and finally to confirm that Neeson is lying, in the final scenes he clearly kills the boyfriend. I think its fairly obvious that the main character is in fact very much alive when taken to the undertaker. This movie is about people not really living their lives, wandering through life like they're dead already. This movie is not about life after death. The rest of the movie covers Liam Neeson (the undertaker)and his attempts to convince her that she is in fact dead and help prepare her for her funeral. After a car crash she 'awakens' in a mortuary only to be told that shes dead. The basic story of the movie concerns a young girl, clearly struggling with life and her relationships. There will be spoilers in this review so watch out :) Reviewed by skywarp-10 7 /10 Good but slightly flawedĭid most of these reviewers actually watch the same movie as me.
