Review of After.Life

After.Life (2009)
7/10
Kind of different
5 June 2011
I have to give this a bit of credit for originality, not being another of an endless list of sequels and comic book remakes. Interesting as well, how it leaves the main question of the film ambiguous, at least for a while. Liam Neeson was believable, yet sufficiently creepy in his role. Justin Long, who I recall from TV, is coming into his own. I might have done a few things different with the script, but at least the direction was competent and unobtrusive. Christina Ricci showed some real range in an extremely peculiar role. From the title, apparently some folks are expecting philosophy or eschatology, but only get a psychological film, not quite a "thriller", but I liked it.
