After.Life

(After.Life)

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 does not believe she is dead, despite the funeral director's reassurances that she is 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 Justin (Paul Coleman) still cannot shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot is not who he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but could it be too late? Anna may have already begun to cross over to the other side. With an unrelenting edge of menace, this film is a stylish psychological thriller which provocatively questions the line between life and death.
