Here After - L'aldilà

1. Don't see this.

I think someone wrote an OK script, then someone from hollywood, rewrote it to add all the clips you see in the trailer.

Sadly this destroyed the movie.

No direction, except the dumb use of tilted shots - why and when.

During the last 45 mins, I found myself listing failures, acting, directing. Tommaso Basili has his head in hands and I swear, you can see him thinking, why did I take this role???

So the story, plausible, but so much useless information was added, scenes that set up nothing an informed no one of anything - just pointless.

The real crac: it takes 60 mins to get to the story. Then 30 to setup and 5 to finish. All the wrong way round.

Was this a thriller or a horror? Make up was laughable - demons and monsters and religion.

Poor rehash of old material and the co-stars were left with rubbish lines and missed opportunities.

I learned nothing new except that random use of angled camera shot annoys everyone - saved gimmicks for meaningful story events.

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.

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.

Here After, starring Connie Britton, explores life, love, and the afterlife in a whimsical yet disjointed way. The film follows a man's journey in the afterlife, where he must find true love to move on, blending elements of romance and the supernatural. While the premise is intriguing, the execution falls flat, with pacing issues and dialogue that sometimes feels forced. Despite a solid performance from Connie Britton, the film struggles to connect emotionally, leaving you more aware of its flaws than invested in the characters. Overall, it doesn't quite deliver on its promise, making it a tough watch at 3/10.

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.
