After.life

YOUR BLOOD NO LONGER CIRCULATES THROUGH YOUR BODY. YOUR BRAIN CELLS ARE SLOWLY DYING. YOUR BODY IS ALREADY DECOMPOSING… YOU’RE DEAD…BUT YOU ARE STILL IN DENIAL…IF EVERYONE KNOWS YOU ARE DEAD, BUT YOU ARE CONVINCED YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, AND THE ONLY ONE WHO YOU CAN HEAR YOU CHOOSES NOT TO LISTEN… WHAT CAN YOU DO? HOW DO YOU SAVE YOURSELF IF YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD?

After a horrific car accident, Anna wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna’s grief-stricken boyfriend Paul still can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn’t what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side.

Writers duo Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo and Paul Vosloo are responsible for the soon to be released horror film After.life. Not very known, except for the multiple awarded 2001 film Paté, it is almost surprising to see how much attention their latest film After.life has gotten over the past months. Almost, because all the attention it got is worth it. The film, which sees Agnieszka in her debut as director is a smart and sexy production with great scares and visuals, that provocatively questions the line between life and death. It winks towards the classic 1950’s and 1960’s horror films, completed with some dark, twisted humor. Besides all they, After.life has a solid cast, with Christina Ricci, Justin Long and Liam Neeson as the chilling mortician Eliot Deacon. After.life will be released as of April 9 2010. -B-
