Why so much hype?

Powerful

From my favorite movies..

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

I guess today was not my lucky day. First I watched Cube that scored great on here, and I gave it a three star rating because it was just not good. Wanting to see at least one good movie my second choice was AfterDeath. What a big mistake that was. It's just an awful movie. I couldn't wait for the end to come. The story-line is just ridiculous. You wonder who writes this kind of bull. I don't know how old the writer is but his mental age must not pass sixteen. And then you have the special effects. Some kind of black cloud going back and forth in a room. I honestly think nowadays any kid between six and fourteen can do a better job on their computer. It was really painful to watch. The cast was also not the greatest ever. The actors were mediocre at best. Just don't waste your precious time with this garbage.

I absolutely loved this psychological horror. It was a super fresh take on the genre that I've honestly never seen before. I was scared, I laughed, I felt for the characters and I had a really strong curiosity as to how it was all going to end. I'll let you watch it to find out! These five characters all have to work together to survive what are pretty awful circumstances to say the least (that's Hell, folks), and there are some beautiful set pieces that are worth the price of admission alone. The score and cinematography help add to the tone and the varied but nuanced performances brought the inner and outer battles to screen in a really engaging way. Definitely check it out!

AfterDeath- is an intelligent existential twist on a Horror film. Relying less on "Jump Scares" it packs a more psychological punch.5 people wake up in the middle of nowhere realizing that they are unable leave - and that this is all some sort of punishment for the lives they have lead. At first it seems like not much of a punishment- but when 5 "bad" people are trapped together BAD things start to happen. The cast is talented, pretty and fun to look at, but it is the ugliness of their actions that keeps you watching.I found myself still thinking about some of the questions brought up in the film, days after.

A girl wakes up on a beach. She walks inland and discovers a house with others like her. They're all dead - victims of the same accident - and they're stuck in a nightmare land between the real world and the afterlife. If that sounds like I've just given away the spoilers, I've got news for you - that all happens in the first few minutes of AfterDeath. On the face of it, AfterDeath is the classic setup of young beautiful people stuck in a house with weird things going on, but in a similar way to The Cabin in the Woods, the unique world around the house allows the filmmakers to play with the rules of the horror genre. They're already dead, but the threat they face is even greater. And the fact that everyone is photogenic is actually a plot point, rather than being a convenient coincidence. And that's what makes AfterDeath so compelling. Embarking on their first feature film, directors Gez Medinger and Robin Schmidt could have played it straighter, choosing to film a story that was a by-the-numbers slasher movie. That would have been enough to get their scores on the filmmaking board, but instead they've produced a film with genuine originality in a genre where it is difficult to stand out. The cast do a good job too, with notable performances from everyone involved, in particular Miranda Raison in the central role as Robyn. My only wish is that it would have been great to have more moments of humour. There were two genuine laugh out loud moments, but that's because there were only a couple of funny bits, not because there were loads of jokes that fell flat. However, that takes nothing away from an incredibly strong debut horror movie, and I'll be waiting with baited breath to see what this pair of directors come up with next...
