Movie Monday: After.Life

Thanks to Alan Hudson sending me a Facebook Fan Page suggestion for “After.Life,” I actually have a movie trailer clip to share for Movie Monday today!  Not only that, but it looks like a good one.

You may have already heard about it, but it’s a new-to-me movie. And it’s something chilling and psychologically twisted that’s right up my alley.

Plus, it’s loaded with talent. Just the other day I was thinking it’s been a while since I’ve seen Christina Ricci in anything. She’s in this one. (Along with Liam Neeson and Justin Long.)

And did I mention it looks chilling and psychologically twisted?

Here’s the tag lines:

Life is the symptom. Death is the cure.

How do you save yourself when you’re already dead?

Basically, after an argument with her boyfriend (Justin Long), Christina Ricci storms off and gets in a fatal car accident. Her body’s taken to the funeral home for preparation, where the funeral director (Liam Neeson) has a gift for helping the dead transition to their afterlife.

But that’s just it…is Christina even really dead? Or is Liam hell bent on burying her alive?

I’m looking forward to finding out. I’m not sure if Nashville will have one of the select theaters After.Life opens in on April 9th, but I hope so. This is one I just may be able to drag Wayne to the theater to see with me. (He’s also a Christina Ricci fan.)

Courtney Mroch

Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
