After.Life is one of those curious movies with A-list talent but B-list distribution
After.Life is one of those curious movies with A-list talent but B-list distribution.
After.Life. It has an intriguing premise that explores the nature of life and death with a refined eye that eschews much of the gratuitous content that so often stigmatizes horror movies (granted, Ricci appears nude or semi-nude for most of the film, which I am not complaining about). But the journey from concept to reality is a long one, and After.Life loses its way, becoming increasingly muddled, lethargic and annoying as it plays out.
But still worth watching.

This novel has multiple protagonists as well as multiple perspectives, but I think the most memorable characters are Marianne and Samantha. After Greg’s death, Marianne is trying her best to carry on living, she has a new boyfriend, but nothing will fill the void, especially when she finds out, that she is on assassin’s hit list. Why? That is what she wants to find out. Samantha is a very mysterious character, her whole life story slowly unravels throughout the pages, and it is a sinister story, where a person can be easily manipulated like a poppet. All the characters bring something to the story, making it a very twisty read, and I loved it.

After the deadly shootout in The Devil's Rejects, the Rejects miraculously survive and face trial. All three are given the death penalty or life sentences. Due to SId Haig's health, Captain Spaulding does not a huge part, but his performance is still extremely memorable. Otis Driftwood takes center stage as he regathers his family after a massacre leading to his escape from prison. On the run, Otis, Baby, and Wolfman (don't ask) hide out in a Mexican town because they love killing people for sport. Anyway, director Rob Zombie once again crafts a love letter to 70s exploitation films even if he never intended to make another chapter to the House of 1000 Corpses series.

The ultimate choice
A killer is loose, a killer that makes friends, loved ones, colleagues choose between life or death. The only way out is to make the decision else you both die.
DI Helen Grace is a brilliant character, dark and delicious with lots of intricate problems. I like the jump between different timelines and how they come together at the end.
The reader is kept in the dark till quite near the end and then the pace, which us already fast, ramps up another notch. I really couldnt put it down.
I may need to read some more DI Helen Grace books.
