      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It has an interesting premise and admirable ambitions, but After.Life fails to deliver enough twists or thrills to sustain its creepy atmosphere.

      Sophie B Cool concept but the main character is an idiot and we don’t get enough backstory about her. Also her boyfriend is the most awful person ever. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review jwcdood Yep, critica are right AFTER.LIFE is a bona fide waste of time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Steve D Unravels at the resolution. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Elvis D Este thriller psicológico es una metafórica experiencia que juega con el concepto de la muerte y la pregunta de si existe algo en el otro lado. Al principio ya se sospecha que el funerario es un maniaco que posiblemente manipulaba a sus víctimas, pero la película presenta otros aspectos con las escenas surrealistas que parecen dar indicio de que quizás si hay algo sobrenatural que solo el funerario puede percibir. Lo que se va entendiendo es que lo que ocurre aquí va más orientado a la muerte espiritual, ya que la muerte siempre se ha usado para definir el final de la vida terrenal. Pero también existe la muerte espiritual o existencial, que es la ausencia del deseo de vivir y vagar como un alma en pena. Anna parece estar sometida a una especie de lección sobre no haber aprovechado la vida como debía. Las imágenes a las que está sometida deja muchas interpretaciones abiertas. No se entiende si eso es producto de las inyecciones o si ella ha perdido la cordura o si realmente se encuentra en un limbo. La revelación cerca del final da a entender las verdaderas acciones del funerario, pero lo que ocurre con Paul en el final deja sospechas de que una fina barrera entre la vida y la muerte se encuentra en el medio. La película es bastante ambigua y deja un sabor amargo, pero se siente algo poética la forma en que utiliza a Anna para hablar sobre la muerte como algo existencial y simbólico y no solo como algo físico. Mi calificación final para esta película es un 8/10. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Lana This could've been an amazing movie. It had all the things it needed. Except a happy ending. Or even at least a decent one. Nobody likes a movie where the main character can't even get the slightest justice. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/02/23 Full Review Andre G The movie was ok and had a decent storyline. Also is entertaining and makes you want to know what's going to happen but it has a dumb ending in my opinion. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Thematic rigor mortis sets in long before the final reel. Jan 3, 2011 Full Review Anton Bitel Little White Lies takes its ambiguities all the way to the grave - and beyond. Sep 7, 2010 Full Review Perri Nemiroff Shockya.com 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. Rated: 2/5 Aug 13, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 2/4 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) A horror film, also about alien pretensions, simultaneously disturbing, inexplicable and useless. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Annalee Newitz io9.com Unfortunately, the movie veers in the most predicable, Saw-like direction possible just as the characters are starting to crackle with originality.
