Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I'm a bit late coming to this one (erm, I mean discovering it lol) but being made in 1994 I must admit it stands up pretty well to much of the extreme horror that came after. Of course back then there was little if any of the CGI we have today, so for those who have complained that the corpses look a bit rubbery, I think you should cut the flick some slack. It's almost 20yrs old now and I'm sure many would still be shocked by what's contained in Aftermath. I hadn't read what the "plot" was before I watched it, just that it was a short, and it had some notoriety. But extreme horror is my thing, and nothing really phases me so when it finally got to the "rape" scene I burst out laughing watching the doc mounting a bloody rubbery corpse (yeah my sense of humour may be a little twisted). I'm not sure if it was meant to be funny but sometimes there's a fine line between horror and hilarity I find. I enjoyed the movie, as much as some may be ashamed to say so. Sadly in this age of reams of "found footage" horror, sequels, and remakes it's always great to find something even slightly original. And I've said it before, but it looks as if Europe has horror sewed up (pardon the pun) as America just wouldn't dream of creating something like this.

Just watched this movie. Can't say much about it, except, WOW. This film is only half an hour long, but had it been any longer I don't know if I would be able to get through it. And I am not disturbed by movies... I have seen some pretty gruesome ones. But it's not the gore that makes this movie disturbing. And it's not even the necrophilia. We've all seen more graphic movies than this by far. It may not seem to be so upon first watching this movie, but there's actually not as much as it feels like there is. So I guess what makes this film so disturbing it is is the sterility of it; the coldness of the morgue; the fact that the victim has no idea she is the victim and the perpetrator of the crime shows no guilt towards his crime. The purely casual way this depraved character, excellently portrayed by Pep Tosar in a performance that hides half of his face most of the time, commits his indecent acts. That MIGHT be what makes this film a disturbing one- but it's hard to put your finger on it. Either way, you can't tear your eyes off of this thing once you've started watching.

Aftermath (1994) *** (out of 4) Spanish horror film from director Nacho Cerda about two morgue workers who enjoy rubbing their hands through dead bodies and more. Needless to say, this film is very gory and graphic so it'll probably turn most viewers off. There's also a sex scene, which will make a few others run. The direction is top notch however and there are many strong scenes that don't have anything to do with the gore. The special effects are incredible and while watching the film I thought they were using real corpses but later read they weren't.

aftermath, just like nekromantic or august underground's mordum, is almost always mentioned because of how disgusting and gruesome it is. that naturally piqued my curiosity, so when i finally got to watch it, i was surprised to see an extremely well made movie. sure, its vile and gory and made me feel like i was a terrible person, (which isn't necessarily a bad thing) but the film had some unexpected qualities to it. first off, the special effects were amazing: if someone had told me beforehand that they were using real bodies, i would have completely believed it. the film also had some outstanding shots, such as the one where the camera was closing in on the sink, which reminded me of the shower scene in psycho. if you are turned off by the gore and necrophilia, i don't think either of the aforementioned qualities will override that. but if you enjoy extreme gore, yet lament the quality of a lot of ultra-gory films, than this movie should be perfect for you. but don't go in to it expecting a detailed plot with complex characters, unless you consider being a necrophiliac "complex."
