Here is the “After.Life” plot description:
After a horrific car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife.
Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. 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.
As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late. Anna may have already begun to cross over to the other side. With an unrelenting edge of menace, “After.Life” is a stylish and psychological thriller that provocatively questions the line between life and death.
The “After.Life” trailer can be watched now below.

Life
I believe in the continuation of life. I believe right now we have an immaterial souls that lives on past the death of our bodies.
Do you believe in afterlife?
I believe that you have a soul but what happens to it, I would not know.
Afterlife
You bet I believe.
You shoiuld have met me in my three previous lives!
Possibly
Not so much believe, but I sure hope there is one. Well, depending on where I’d end up.
Afterlife
I believe in some kind of afterlife. I believe that some souls get to move on to something else.
Not if it’s anything
Not if it’s anything like “AfterM*A*S*H”.
After Life Passes
I hope there is a heaven…
Afterlife
I believe there is something there after we are gone.
Pet Semetary
After reading and watching Pet Semetary the possiblity of an after-life where people “come back” a little different seems pretty plausiable. However, this was back in the 90s, after growing up a bit more we realize that it is fiction for people to come back to life. Which is why I think it is not very possible that there is an after-life, once you are dead, as gloomy as it sounds, you are gone.
Afterlife
I don’t exactly believe in an afterlife, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong. Of course, there’s still the sticky issue of figuring out what that ghost was doing in a previous apartment where I lived.
