Review of After.Life

After.Life (2009)
2/10
Ghostly or Ghastly?
19 September 2010
I despair of the movie industry these days as I am continually disappointed. Where are the people that wrote/produced/directed such recent iconic productions such as Pan's Labyrinth, The Fountain, The Illusionist, Kingdom of Heaven. Afterlife was truly dismal in every way. I am frankly astonished that Liam Neeson was attracted to this tawdry and unintelligent load of garbage. Having said that Liam Neeson did a scarily convincing job as an undertaker but other than his contribution the acting was dire and the script had all the flair of a parts list for a washing machine. If Liam Neeson were not in this movie then I would have struggled to have voted any higher than 1 out of 10. What happened to the screen writers, were they all on strike? Was this a fourth grade English project perhaps? What legitimate production company with any sense of self preservation would even look twice at this nauseatingly hideous production let alone put money into it? I am almost speechless.
