United States | Variety | "The potent imagery never meshes with narrative logic in Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo's first feature, promising more than it can deliver." | NEU |
United States | New York Post | "I don't think we're expected to take After.Life any more seriously than Ricci's last extended (near) nude role in the immortal "Black Snake Moan." That one was more fun" | NEG |
United States | AV Club | "Caught in a pretentious no-man’s land between horror and melodrama" | NEG |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Clean, precise and terribly sullen, After.Life is like its female protagonist. It feels stuck between worlds, or genres" | NEU |
United States | New York Daily News | "The only thing worse than bad horror is pretentiously bad horror. From title to finish, After.Life takes itself far more seriously than you will." | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "Icky, nasty, calculatingly odd and a little funny, though more often strained and inadvertently absurd, After.Life changes its mood and apparent intentions from scene to scene, sometimes minute to minute." | NEG |
United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "After this and "Black Snake Moan," it might be time for the talented actress (Ricci) to keep her clothes on." | NEG |
United States | SFGATE | "So many horror conventions are at work in After.Life that either the filmmakers are parodying them or couldn't come up with anything better. I'm betting on the second choice." | NEG |
