I think most people will have more issues with the pacing than the story. Of course that doesn't mean that those same people will not be able to see where this is going (no pun intended). But if you can get yourself into the mood of the movie, you might actually enjoy it. It's slow building and the atmosphere it builds (nice framing/photography) is really good.
Of course quite a lot is depending on the two main actors for obvious reasons. I think they're doing a pretty solid job. So while this is nothing to get over-excited about, it still can make for a nice little watch, if you like movies like that

I wasn't expecting too much going in but this movie delivered. They took a classic storyline and kept it simple with good writing. The characters are well formed with decent dialogue that was a little spotty at times but generally not too bad.
It's not a big budget blockbuster so if you go in expecting something great then you'll probably be disappointed. For such a small budget though it definitely hits above its weight.
Overall a fun indie thriller.

After watching this movie (pun intended) I was really surprised how much I enjoyed it. You have two strangers waking up in their hometown after being involved in a bus crash. They realize that there seems to be no one around and there's a strange sort of mist surrounding the town approaching them. It's a great and unique idea that really reminded me of the movie "Phantoms" from 1998 at first and I love these mysterious horror movies with great concepts and an apocalyptic feel to them. Also the movie introduces an aspect or should I say antagonist that I really enjoyed because it fits with the overall ambience and was introduced well with the story. The acting is fine, the sets look amazing, the pacing was a little bit sloppy at times but overall good too and the characters and the overall story were pretty convincing. While this movie has its flaws I think it's really underrated and I suggest you should give it a try. [6,2/10].
(2012) After
PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR
Co-written and directed by Ryan Whitaker with Ana (Karolina Wydra) and Freddy (Steven Strait) who happen to ride on the same bus, toward a small part of town called "Pearl". The next scene has that bus getting into an accident with Ana waking up on her own bed, unbeknownst to her that there is no one in town other than the person she rode on the same bus with. If I were to reveal anymore would be to spoil it. The only thing I am going to say is that if one were to watch enough movies that has a similar ending to this movie, one would not be too surprised about it anymore.

I found After an easy watch, but then again, I love interesting sci fi and horror, particularly if there's a good monster. The monster in this was ace, fast and roaring, but admittedly you don't get to see too much of it, in fact, there's only one really decent close up scene, but it is at least a good look. That's better than many other monster movies. The two leads were easy on the eye and acted well, and the story was different at least, if not ground breaking. Overall the movie was put together well, with a few decent effects, good editing and pace, and tension.

- TriviaIt was a particularly cold day when it came time to film the carnival scene and was physically exhausting for the actors. Even though it was filmed in the south near Birmingham, Alabama, it was freezing. It was shot through the night into the next morning. Temperature was 32 degrees with 10 mph wind gusts.
- GoofsWhile the carnival is supposed to be happening in the USA in August 1992 you can clearly see the actor's breath as it was filmed in cold weather.
- Crazy creditsAfter the end credits is a short scene that shows Ana and Freddy on a packed bus. She is sleeping against his shoulder and he looks content.
