This Day in Horror History: AFTER.LIFE Was Released in 2009
After.Life, released on this day in 2009, is the story of an undertaker with a supernatural gift and unrequited love from beyond the grave–or is it? You’ll have plenty to think about when the credits roll! Underappreciated and underrated, After.Life is written and directed by Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo; the film features strong performances from Christina Ricci, Liam Neeson, and Justin Long.

Synopsis:
After a horrific car crash, a young teacher awakes on a mortuary slab. The funeral director convinces her she is not alive but transitioning into the spirit world. Is he telling the truth?
