Watch Aftermath For Free

I love this movie so much

Truly Dreadful Film

Thanks for the memories!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Aftermath has a simple premise; a twisted mortician does as he wishes with a dead body. Short and/or shock films do well to have a simple idea like this, but it means that anyone looking for some kind of psychological horror or thriller will be sorely disappointed. Where Aftermath really shines is in it's visual presentation. The sets, lighting, and effects (be that makeup or prop use) are all very convincing and just have a touch more realism than most other effects from films I've seen. There really isn't much to say about the acting as there is no character dialogue, and almost everything is told visually. Even with everything it does right, Aftermath is still just a short shock/gore film. I felt sick while watching Aftermath, so if that's your cup of tea, be all means, watch it.

For those who have ever wondered what might go on behind locked doors in a mortuary, Nacho Cerdà brings us Aftermath—a nauseating, disturbing, and perhaps even thought provoking 30 minute study of one sicko and his passion for corpses. Beautifully shot using graceful sweeping camera movements and excellent lighting, with wonderful use of music and sound design, this is twisted film-making that even the art-house crowd might be able to appreciate.The movie begins as two men working in a morgue begin autopsies on a couple of male cadavers. In sickening detail, the first stiff is dissected, and the audience is spared no gruesome detail: the head is sawed open and the brain removed, the entrails are given a thorough poking around, and, finally, all of the spare parts (including the brain!) are shoved back unceremoniously into the corpse's thoracic cavity, before it is sewn up.Whilst the first pathologist cleans up his bloody tools, his workmate carries out a similar procedure on the second body.Strong stuff indeed, but you ain't seen nothing' yet! The guy working on the second corpse finishes up for the night and heads off home, and a third body is brought into the room—that of a young woman. The remaining member of staff, realising a rare opportunity has been presented to him on a platter (so to speak), locks the morgue door and indulges in a little spot of mutilation/fornication. Yes, folks, he gets a stiffy whilst hacking up the stiff, and climbs on board for a quickie, posing for a few photos in the process! Aftermath is extremely sick stuff, but it does drive home a point (in addition to presenting the viewer with some very impressive gore): after you're dead, your body is just meat!

Warning!! This is not a movie to think lightly about, If you're not affected nor horrified by what takes place on screen, Then seriously ask yourself if you don't need help. I saw this movie in its entirety, and I'm usually open to any type of horror. But nothing could prepare me for what I saw this time. The actually act of having sex with a corpse, That's also cut open is just beyond any kind of rational understanding. And the time the people took, To make the corpses and all the special effects look as real as possible, Must come from some kind of love for the dead. I gonna pass on a second sitting with this movie. I think I'm going back to the more mainstream horror movies from now on. This is just a bit,...Eehmm. To extreme. Welcome to hell.

Is there anything else on earth to be more enticing than to learn what expects our frail bodies after, um, death. Spanish director Ignacio Cerdà (a soul-mate of his German colleague Jörg Buttgereit) provides blow-by-blow answer to our curiosity and invites us to an exciting journey in the world of preparation tables, scalpels, surgical saws, human entrails and warped minds.Welcome to the autopsy room!I don't know which facets of the film, apart of its notorious reputation, may have helped it to acquire sufficiently high rating.Storywise it's fairly simple and straightforward - a day in the life (actually half an hour) of a troubled coroner (or, perhaps, assistant pathologist or whoever he is) that is fed up with his routine morbid duty and discharges his psychological tension in a non-traditional fashion, right at his workplace. I'm perplexed of what particular message the authors tried to deliver with this one-note plot. I suspect it may be somehow inspired by Udo Kier's character's quirky demeanor in Andy Warhol's Frankenstein.Artistic values of the film are also questionable. It's hard to evaluate the performance of the actors that don't squeeze a single word. Their emotions are concealed behind the medical masks. There's also not enough room for great camera-work - basically, the entire action unfolds mostly within four walls.Authenticity - effects and makeup are impressive and the setup looks very plausible, but only a handful of medical/forensic experts can judge how truthful and anatomically correct the dissection is carried out here (if anyone cares). Honestly, I used to think that the autopsy is done to examine the condition of particular organs and to ascertain the cause of death. Now I know that dead bodies are severed, raped and humiliated, intestines are ripped apart, brains are retrieved from the head, stuffed into abdomen and mixed with guts, then the body is stitched back and washed - nothing personal. And what are these poor lads expected to write in their deceitful autopsy reports afterward?Shock and disgust factor - it's much unlikely that an unsuspecting viewer would discover, to his horror, that the disc he was intended to watch with his wife and kids beside a Christmas tree turns out to be a graphic video manual on vivisection. This obscure item is barely available, sought by people well familiar with the subject and not easily offended. Hence it would be pointless to warn anyone to sabotage this film. They are well aware what exactly they are watching and what they want to see.Cerdà is really gifted and stylish director, which is clearly obvious from at least two other parts of his "trilogy" - preceding 'The Awakening', amazing black and white short, and 30-minute 'Genesis', visually stunning and moody piece with an off-beat and interesting concept. And I'm pretty sure that one day he will conquer the hearts of moviegoers with his new, more mainstream oriented, material. And sooner or later 'Aftermath' would become a rarity for the meticulous collectors of his "early" "warm-up" works.But in the meantime, I'm afraid, it may be recommended strictly for medical students or specialists that study mental disorders and sexual deviations.
