After My Death

About This Movie

After My Death is a haunting exploration of grief and guilt, set against the backdrop of a high school that feels both familiar and unsettling. The atmosphere is thick with tension, as the narrative unfolds through the eyes of a classmate caught in the web of suspicion surrounding a disappearing girl. Kim Ui-seok plays with pacing effectively, letting moments linger, which amplifies the unease. The performances, particularly from the lead, convey a rawness that feels almost intrusive. What stands out is how the film tackles the themes of peer pressure and the impact of social dynamics on mental health, all while maintaining a sense of mystery that keeps you engaged. It's not flashy, but its subtlety adds to its effectiveness.
