Such a frustrating disappointment

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

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.

Robyn (Miranda Raison) wakes up "dead" in a world where she breathes but has no pulse. She enters a house where there are four other people, three of which are engaged in sex. It seems sex and alcohol is the favorite past time of the dead. The house has a sign "Tabula Rasa" which is Latin for "blank slate" or "clean slate" a clue that is later explained.Robyn is not content with staying there being vexed by the black smoke demon, lighthouse lights, and an enclosing bubble. Time is running out as out group attempts to brainstorm and confess their way out.This was a fairly good film, for what it was. Acting was decent. Effects were okay. The black smoke demon has become popular.Guide: F-bomb, sex, no nudity.

This was my favorite movie I caught at the Austin Film Festival this past year. Not typically a huge horror fan, but can appreciate a good one when I see it, and this was one of the few. It has a uniquely terrifying concept of what hell would be like. I was surprised to find myself so invested in whether or not the characters stuck in this house could find their way out of hell. Especially considering most of them aren't very likable people. The special effects are really well done. Well written, acted and directed. Definitely worth a watch if you are in anyway interested in horror, sci-fi, or thrillers.

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.
