After Life

When Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up in a mortuary, she protests to the undertaker (Liam Neeson) that she isn’t dead. “You all say the same thing”, he replies, supplying her with evidence in the form of her own death certificate. Is he telling the truth or is he some sort of madman? And if Anna really is dead, how is he able to communicate with her? Either way, Anna is convinced she’s alive, and is determined to make contact with her boyfriend (Justin Long) so he can help her escape the mortuary. The performances are suitably ambiguous and sincere, but overall, a less open-ended conclusion might have made this a more satisfying film to watch. “Whether or not she's alive is the question that's supposed to animate this ostensibly metaphysical horror movie, but thematic rigor mortis sets in long before the final reel,” writes JR Jones in a review for Chicago Reader.
