Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaChristina Ricci said in a 2022 interview that she had no problem being totally nude so much during filming, but what made her uncomfortable was other people being uncomfortable with her being naked. That made her feel really weird. So what she did, which she admitted actors probably wouldn't be allowed to do these days, is just stay naked and not wear a robe between scenes. She'd also go talk to crew members naked because she wanted everybody around her to stop reacting to it, because then she could forget that she was naked. Doing that made it one of the only times she's really felt comfortable being naked on camera.
- GoofsWhen Paul runs toward Anna's grave, he touches a tombstone which starts wobbling from side to side.

Featured review
This film is about a young woman who wakes up lying in the morgue, with a mortician insisting that she is already dead.
"After.Life" is such a good thriller! The film successfully generates a chilling and desperate atmosphere about a person experiencing the transition between life and death. The plot is great because first it makes you think one way, then there are clues as to what is really happening, then the truth is presented in your face. Some people say there are plot holes, but I think all of the supposed plot holes are easily explained along the lines of what really happens in the film. Christina Ricci is phenomenal in playing this tormented character, adding much realism into the film. Just pay attention to all the details in "After.Life", and you will find it is a well constructed thriller.
