Here After

This movie might have worked if it had been released in the early 2000s, but by now, we've seen this story hundreds of times. There's nothing original in this film, no standout scene, or anything memorable, which makes it a forgettable, below-average flick. It's not awful by any means, but there's really nothing particularly enjoyable or unique about it. Probably the most interesting aspect of the movie is Connie Britton as the lead. It's rare that a movie below 90 minutes runtime feels that long.

The horror elements are also very light, which is disappointing since the trailer made it seem like this would be a proper horror movie. Unfortunately, there are no noteworthy scares or tense scenes. I can't imagine many people enjoying this movie, so I can't recommend it. [4.2/10]

I didn't have any expectations of the movie beforehand. I like the lead actress Connie Britton and the movie description sounded interesting so I decided to give it a try. I felt it was a haunting sort of movie rather than scary. Details slowly unfolded with the use of flashbacks and dialogue. It could have been a predictable movie but I didn't feel it was. It could have ended a few different ways. I liked how it ended. I can understand why some people found this movie slow and not scary. I wouldn't categorize it as a horror. I think it was more of a drama and thriller. I thought the acting was very believable.

A speech impaired girl plays the piano very well and lives with her mother. This girl has an accident during a trip. She is put into a coma. When she wakes up, she starts talking. But she wakes up with anger.

Shortly after the girl's waking scene, the whole movie can be easily predicted. This means that many similar scenarios have been written. The movie could not do anything different from these scenarios.

I personally did not enjoy the movie. Also, in these kinds of movies, there is apology in dreams and making amends, which is pure comedy. I can't say I enjoyed watching it.

There is no sexuality or nudity in the movie.

This might have been a good story with different actresses. The daughter looked literally inbred, genuinely Hapsburg jaw and crooked ears and Connie Britton as the mother was so unsympathetic, really seemed like some kind of narcissist, everything is about her (and yes eventually we find out what trauma caused this extreme self-centeredness). UGH.

I kept watching because I was curious about the mystery but it was so hard to watch Britton hamming it up and never quite making me feel sorry for her. The daughter also is a flat character, feels very objectified in a series of near corpses - only in relation, to the mother never a complete human.

The film demonstrates remarkable proficiency in its execution of camera angles, fashion design, and the selection of diverse environments and locations. Visually, it captivates the audience, creating a rich and immersive cinematic experience. However, the storyline presents some accessibility challenges. A significant portion of the dialogue is delivered in a foreign language, and the absence of English subtitles for these segments hampers the audience's ability to fully comprehend the narrative. This is a regrettable oversight, particularly given the film's high production values.

Furthermore, while certain camera angles contribute to an intriguing atmosphere, the pacing of the film is notably sluggish. It takes a considerable amount of time for the story to hint at its horror elements, which may leave some viewers feeling disengaged. Personally, I favor films that introduce horror themes more swiftly or interweave them throughout the narrative from the outset. I find that productions adhering to conventional themes and formats within the basic horror genre often lack the depth and innovation that truly engage my interest.
