When it comes to supernatural or fantasy movies, I’m incredibly picky.

I’ve seen “After” twice, and each viewing makes me appreciate it that much more.

But if you love indie films like I do, you may end up with a new favorite.

What is ‘After’ about?

“After” begins with a seemingly innocuous bus ride.

Before anything further can happen, the bus is involved in a devastating crash.

Moments later, Ana wakes up at home.

When she arrives, no one is there.

She soon discovers that no one else is in the entire town.

That night, she hears music; she isn’t alone, after all.

Ana ventures into the neighborhood to find its source, only to discover Freddy.

They must be alone together for a reason.

Interspersed throughout their search of the town for answers, we see flashbacks to their childhoods.

We learn that Ana used to write stories while Freddy escaped into comic books.

Each explores these forgotten facets as they search the empty town for answers.

Driving around, they discover a looming, overwhelming fog that creeps closer and closer.

Why should stream ‘After’

There’s so much I love about “After.”

Plus, I loved the fog.

It appeared threatening and ominous, like something out of a nightmare.

Sometimes, that’s not always a good thing.

That might frustrate you, but trust me, it will pay off in the end.
