“When my days are over will this soul of mine actually leave this body?… Or is the funeral home guy plotting on me?”
Synopsis: After a horrific car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, despite the funeral directors reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna’s grief-stricken boyfriend Paul (Justin Long) still can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn’t what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over to the other side.
Hard to believe that After.Life ended up the way it did. What seemed like a strong cast of actors turned into a devastating upset. Nobody benefits from watching this film except maybe adolescent males. The combo of being naked and Christina Ricci seem to go hand in hand these days. Someone loves to add a few more camera minutes of her bare body to each new film she stars in. No complaints from the adolescent male in me but the lady of the flesh was the innocent little girl from Casper. Wardrobe must have been simple. With all the extra time they still went out and cast the Mac computer guy as her boyfriend. I must admit his acting has improved (a smidge) since his eye-grabbing performance in Jeepers Creepers but the lad’s talents are much better suited to selling computers.
