Afterlife

About This Movie

So, 'Afterlife' from 2018 is this indie comedy-fantasy that dives into the life of Joe, a guy who's really stuck in a rut. When he gets turned into a vampire, it sounds like a ticket to freedom, right? But it’s more of a trap than he realizes. The tone mixes a bit of dark humor with some existential musings about self-acceptance. The pacing has a relaxed vibe, letting moments breathe, which kind of fits Joe’s aimless journey. The practical effects are charming, not overly flashy but they add a nice touch. Performances have a quirky, offbeat rhythm that keeps it engaging. There’s something distinct in how it plays with the idea of escape, only to find out that sometimes you can’t run from yourself.
