After.Life is a psychological horror movie starring Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci and Justin Long, directed by Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo from her unique screenplay .
After a terrible car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the native funeral manager Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her dead body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, regardless of the funeral manager’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot assures her he has the skill to converse with the lifeless and only he can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to go to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own demise.
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. Paul anxiously tries to convince the local Police Chief (Josh Charles) that Anna’s alive. But the more he investigates her death, the more they question his sanity. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to disclose the alarming truth, but Anna may have already begun to go across over the other part.
