Viewing Notes

Dammit my original review got eaten due to special characters in Nacho’s name. Redeaux here…

Watched as part of the Horror Squad Film Club, I have yet to see what everyone’s take on this short film is. I may come back and update once I see what people have to say.

My take? This is the most beautifully shot film about a bunch of morticians performing autopsies on bodies when one decides to have sex with one of the mutilated dead women. Seriously, the film looks terrific. One thing is that the gore is over the top and I think the works to take the viewer out of the desrtuctive and frankly gross goings on. The gore isn’t that heavy on blood, more so than the insides of the people are almost alien like. It makes it easier to not see what is going on as the abuse of a human body more than something alien. I don’t know if that was intentional but it’s what I took away. Not sure what Nacho was getting at, if it’s just showing that morticians can go all necophiliac at times (hey, that’s the reality!) or if hes trying to show how gross it is. Either way, Aftermath is a stunning short film.
