The Afterlife is an intriguing slice of 1980s sci-fi that really plays with those post-apocalyptic vibes, reminiscent of Mad Max but with its own unique twist. The film feels like a glimpse into a world troubled by chaos and desolation, lifted from Paul Trainor's comic series. The pacing is a bit uneven, and you can definitely feel the unfinished quality, but there's something raw and fascinating about that. Practical effects have a gritty charm, and while the performances might not be Oscar-worthy, they convey a certain desperation. It’s distinctive in how it captures that era’s atmosphere without fully committing to a typical structure. Definitely lends itself to discussions about what could have been and the potential of indie sci-fi.
