Remember back at the end of January, when I told you all how Anchor Bay had scored the rights to Agnieszka Wojtowicz-Vosloo’s AFTER.LIFE? Well it seems they’re anxious to get this one out there because it just scored a release date!
The psychological thriller will be opening April 9th. No word on how wide AFTER.LIFE will be opening but we’ll keep you updated with that. The flick stars Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci (below) and Justin Long. Here’s a detailed synopsis from the release:
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 the other side.
With an unrelenting edge of menace, After.life is a stylish psychological thriller which provocatively questions the line between life and death.
So there you have it! Get ready to enter the AFTER.LIFE on April 9th and be sure to keep it here for more on the film as we hear it! Like maybe a trailer? Hopefully that shite pops up sometime soon!
