  Review by C4rlo5 ★★★

  Death, corpses and some other things brought by the hand of Nacho Cerdà, a director which reputation came from this short movie.

  It’s the second one of a series of three shorts, which is called The Trilogy of Death.

  This short is about a woman who dies after having a crash with her car, her corpse ends up in the morgue for the pertinent autopsy and the rest is history.

  It has no dialogues, it enjoys of a good pacing since it goes by fast, it becomes engaging, I would say, but there’s not much more. It’s a gore piece for gore lovers, some scenes of the morgue procedure are a bit hard to swallow… that nipple was making me…

  Review by Lou (rhymes with wow!) ★★★ 8

  A 30 minute short film in which we see a mortician cut open a male corpse and fuck a female one. It is entirely dialogue free and very much in bad taste. Contains a lot of goopy gore.

  This was probably more shocking in the mid nineties than it is by today's standards.

  Or, who knows, maybe I am just desensitized.

  Review by Smapti ½ 1

  Utterly reprehensible, but not for the obvious reasons. The problem is that even before the deviant behavior in Aftermath starts, Cerdà clearly intends for us to think that an autopsy - one of the most important procedures in medical and forensic science - is inherently horrific. This is such an anti-scientific and ludicrous premise that I can't believe anyone would center a short film around it. I sincerely hope that Cerdà sticks to his guns and never goes to a hospital, because otherwise he's a fucking hypocrite.

  Or, to put it another way: we all used to be dirt and dust; we're alive for a brief, vital moment; for an even briefer moment we're meat, and then we're dust again. So who cares what happens to a pile of meat? It's what happens to the living that makes a good horror film.

  Review by Matt Winfield ★★★ 3

  Too ridiculous to be disturbing, too tame to ever be truly disgusting. Aftermath just takes itself WAY too seriously for me. Half the time I'm laughing at how over-the-top shocking it's trying to be, and the other half I'm bored out of my mind by the artsy and evocative style it's going for. It's immaculately shot sure, especially for this type of film, but never really hits that perfect blend of corpse diddling camp that something like Nekromantik achieves. Not bad, just kinda blah.

  Though it is nice to have a gore flick without all the crying and screaming for a change. Hell, there's no dialogue at all deep down in the morgue... just heavy moaning... lots and lots of heavy moaning.

  Review by Roxxi ✞ ★★★½ 5

  I used to work in a mortuary and I can confirm that this would happen several times a day :)

  btw I love that you can play Mozart's Requiem over pretty much anything and it immediately becomes artistic, high-concept cinema.

  Review by 𝕷𝖎𝖟𝖟 🎥 ★★★★

  Aftermath is weirdly morbid and grotesque.

  
  We have very explicit scenes of corpses and autopsy, like, how to slice the head and take the brain out; washing the organs and how to sew it back up.

  This looks very much like a regular day at work... If we don't keep in mind there is a scene of the main character raping the corpse with a knife, then it just get crazier.

  I'm sure this movie will be recommended to a very specific group of people.
  Also very fitting to add in my new list of "Funeral and Morgue films" if you want to check it out and recommend me some movies to add here.

  Review by #1 Bratz Fan ★★★

  A mortician has a date with a corpse, and she totally puts out. No dialogue, just necrophilia. It’s pretty good.
