Aftermath (IV) (2021) User Reviews

NOT your usual haunted house thriller. Weird, but good one time watch

[AristarchosTheArchivist · 6/10 · 4 August 2021]

Honestly, I didn't expect much, because the haunted house theme had been used so much already.

But I kept watching, because its suspense was quite effective. I was really wondering how the weird happenings would be explained in the end.

"Aftermath" is a reasonably well made thriller with a lot to guess.

Though it has some flaws, its atmosphere is quite intense.

Prepare for a weird solution that actually makes up for some initially unexplainable events.

The film makes for a good one-time watch (naturally, few films of this "wtf is going on" genre will be worth a second time), if you have nothing to do. The scares are effective, the music is appropriate, and acting is ok.

A House of Horror

[Pairic · 7/10 · 5 August 2021]

Aftermath: A couple with a troubled relationship buy a house where a murder/suicide took place which they get at a bargain price. The husband heads a crew which cleans up crime sites and yes they looked after that job. Strange things start to happen, their dog seemingly barks at nothing, won't go upstairs. Things disappear and reappear in different paces. Identity theft occurs. In this case the mundane rather than mondo events seem more threatening as a gradual aura of dread builds up. The oddities become eerier and nastier though. Red herrings are strewn as possible culprits are introduced but there are several levels to this narrative of terror with a couple of interesting plot twists. Nothing particularly original about this tale but it's well told and worth watching. Directed and co-written by Peter Winther. On Netflix. 7/10.

Solid Thriller

[Skippop83 · 7/10 · 4 August 2021]

If you want to watch an entertaining Thriller/Horror I recommend this movie! Plenty of scares and entertainment! Enjoy 👊🏼🍿

What a great surprise!

[lasse_hj · 8/10 · 4 August 2021]

I expected to be entertained by a just above average movie, but the low ratings made me wary, and I wasn't quite sure about it... Boy was I surprised! In a good way.

First of all - people call this movie slow. Ahm, it's called SUSPENSE!! And it worked really well.

It's not 100% horror, but actually a mix of horror, drama, mystery and thriller. A lot could go wrong with that formula, but it's well written, very entertaining and very well acted. So many great hidden hints along the way; camera angles, sounds etc. But I'm not going to give anything away. Just watch it.

Once again, ignore bad reviews

[MikeWindgren · 7/10 · 4 August 2021]

This is a fine thriller movie. Very well worth the watch.

Nice acting, interesting enough story, see it when you like thrillers, leaning towards horror at some points.

Terrible, terrible, terrible, oh yeah it's terrible!

[ashj-54404 · 11 August 2021]

Worth watching just to see how awful this really is. The dog will be the only actor to get work after this atrocity.

The dog is the best actor in the movie.

[noyaufoulem · 2/10 · 5 August 2021]

The dog is really the most convincing actor in this low budget movie. I want a sequel with just the dog.

OK film Dont understand the bad reviews

[jmcsloy-98826 · 7/10 · 7 August 2021]

Not a classic but it kept me enterntained for 2 hours.

A decent watch

[falling-sideways · 6/10 · 8 August 2021]

A decent watch, nothing groundbreaking. But if you're looking for something to watch for fun it is decent.

Surprisingly decent

[sommel-98024 · 7/10 · 6 August 2021]

This movie can't decide if it's a horror, drama, or a comedy, but in this case, I think that helped a lot, actually. At one point, I got so caught up in the characters that I forgot I was watching a horror movie. I appreciate seeing actual characters and storytelling in a shallow horror plot!!!

Loved the build up in the reveal scene, even though one little bump could have easily uh, eliminated the threat. Just... just empty it, guys.

The Only True actor is this movie was the dog !!

[drrahma_refaat · 4/10 · 5 August 2021]

Horrible acting from every one of the cast except the dog !! Every one else Just solid terrible acting.

Unbelievably bad. Total waste of time. Don't, just don't.

[jssoncuff · 2/10 · 10 August 2021]

The acting is wooden, the effects terrible, the directing amateurish. Above all, the plot - what little there is of it - is predictable to the point of not worth being written. I can only assume that the positive ratings are courtesy of friends and family of the crew. Why... why bother making this crap?

It's decent

[kannehoward · 6/10 · 7 August 2021]

Started a bit slow but the jump scares and the ending was alright.

Loved this

[btreakle · 8/10 · 10 August 2021]

Not sure why the low rating? Great scary movie with lots of drama, twist and turns . Highly recommend this film.

Good Little Slow Burn Horror/ Mystery

[flowerstardust1979 · 7/10 · 5 August 2021]

No spoiler review! This is no masterpiece. No no. However it certainly doesn't deserve negative reviews so what I was going to rate as a 6 I've bumped my score up to a 7 to counteract unnecessary negative reviews.

This was very watchable, quite creepy at times and has quite a few different elements going on at once. It's part horror, part thriller part mystery with a supernatural feel.

Without going into the plot this is a slow burn as we learn about the characters, their problems, back story of their new home ect... There are multiple events going on throughout the movie so it's never boring.

If you enjoy haunted House horror with the creepiness of contorted figures that go bump in the night with a few twists and turns it's a good little watch. If you're after an award winning masterpiece then you'll be disappointed it is what it is, enjoy it. This fares better than a lot of recent scary movies.

WHY the bad reviews?

[frances_farmer0 · 7/10 · 12 August 2021]

Okay, before watching this I saw all the crappy reviews and thought, "uggh, this is going to suck, all these people can't be wrong..." BUT THEY ARE! Have you people ever watched an ACTUAL bad movie? Because this doesn't even come close. Is it perfect? No. But it's better than average, so to give this a 3 or a ONE rating? WTF? I'm glad (once again) I decided to watch it anyways. I really liked it.

Predictable Drivel

[leonardhalliwell · 1/10 · 9 August 2021]

I can't put any spoilers in this one because there's nothing to spoil. Painfully bad narrative, no scares and no decent acting either.

I'd give it 7 out of 368 billion. ☹

Decent Watch

[taylamell · 6/10 · 8 August 2021]

Whenever I see Iceman in something, I'll always give it a watch. Aftermath is creepy & a pretty decent film. The twist, however, both makes sense and doesn't once it's revealed. Honestly if it wasn't for the twist I'd've given this a higher rating.

I liked it !

[eedwards-18625 · 7/10 · 15 August 2021]

I'm not easily spooked but I felt on edge watching this film .

Gets a little bit silly at the end but still worth the watch . Would recommend 👌 Don't really understand the really bad reviews. It wasn't THAT bad ! I've seen loads of worse 'horror' films.

Best scary movie I've seen in a long time!!

[betsyellington · 8/10 · 8 August 2021]

Loved this....very entertaining, was so scared through the whole movie!

Buyers remorse..

[deweyc-58422 · 7/10 · 4 August 2021]

Dont listen to the low 1 or 2 rating, I believe 7 is fair, if your looking for a decent psychological thriller,..it hold your interest till the very end.....

Stop killing dogs for no reason 😑

[tamara-abikhalil · 1/10 · 17 August 2021]

Despicably to a laughable point. Read the 1 star comments ; spot on. I wasted 2 hours on the movie can't waste any more life minutes on this 😂

Laughable

[ma_rosen · 1/10 · 7 August 2021]

Painfully bad acting, writing and directing. Absolute nonsensical stupidity.

Stop Getting So Angry Reviewers

[tonyandsilvia1994 · 6/10 · 5 August 2021]

Look, it's not that original and has some hokey moments, but on the whole it wasn't that bad. Yes there are plot holes, yes some of the acting is hmmm, it's a bit long and the concept is a well trodden path. But it is what it is, neither a 10/10 or a 1/10, just Ok.

Goodness me, this was beyond horrible

[karinahatem · 1/10 · 16 August 2021]

To be added to the list of worse horror movies, poor and very annoying performance, stupid story that was kinda predictable.
