![]() ![]() When it comes to characters, I started Aftermath by really liking the two protagonists. It’s a movie that you can watch and enjoy, with a few familial offerings, without giving many thoughts and it does very well with that. Listen, this isn’t Get Out and it isn’t trying to be it. The atmosphere of Aftermath stays mostly intense and coupled with the production quality, there are not many things that go wrong if you keep your expectations low. The twist is kinda believable, mostly fantastical, but as a one-time watch, the suspense is effective enough to keep you guessing.Īlso Read: Waking Up To Danger Review: Cheap Thrills When it comes time for the truth to come out, it’s a mixture of goofy and a little terrible.

But, oof, Kevin makes a doozy and decides to move into the murder house. Natalie and Kevin’s relationship is in shambles – there’s been an affair from her side and their therapist asks them to start over. If anything, the opening sequence promises blood and guts. As the credits are on, we watch, painfully slowly, what seems to be a murder-suicide, complete with a gnarly blown-up head. More often than not they are used as a cheap gimmick to pique the interests of the viewers when the story is, in fact, not very true.Īftermath starts as such – with a title card and then we move on to a 911 call and a murder. Movies that start with the “inspired by true events” card are always dicey. – Aftermath review does not contain spoilers – Aftermath is a 2021 horror-mystery-thriller movie directed by Peter Winther and starring Ashley Greene, Shawn Ashmore, Sharif Atkins and Britt Baron, alongside other cast members. ![]()
