After.Life


AFTER.LIFE (2009) - Feb. 4, 2012
About a woman who dies, and then finds herself in a funeral home with a funeral director who can talk to the dead.  Or maybe he's just a murderer trying to convince her that she's dead.  The film has an interesting enough premise but just doesn't do all that much with it -- it feels like a short film or like an episode of the Twilight Zone that's been uncomfortably padded out to feature-length.  All of the actors do the best they can with the material, but just don't have all that much to work with (Liam Neeson in particular is completely wasted here playing a character who should have been interesting, but who just comes off as bland).  **
