 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })After.Life is a 2009 paranoid thriller film starring Liam Neeson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Long.Ricci stars as Anna Taylor, a young school teacher whose relationship with her boyfriend Paul Coleman (Long) has grown strained. After fighting with him at dinner over a misunderstanding, she drives off and gets in a car accident. She wakes up in the funeral home of Elliot Deacon (Neeson) who says that she's dead. Apparently he has the gift (or curse, as he later complains) of being able to see and speak with the dead. However, she begins to suspect he may be lying, as does her boyfriend Paul, but time is running out as the funeral is in two days, with Deacon intent on completing his work...No relation to the ITV show, the 1996 game, or the 1998 Japanese film Wonderful Life (released in the west as After Life).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })As you might have surmised from all the tagged examples below, huge spoilers ahead!

 The Ending Changes Everything: Liam Neeson plays a mortician named Elliot who claims to have the ability to speak to the dead. Throughout the movie, he talks to the main character (who is dead) in hopes of getting her to move on with her life. It turns out in the end that he was lying the whole time and that the main character was always alive. However, there had been foreshadowing for both options on whether he was lying or not, with lots of those moments pointing towards the former. And one large hint that he has been doing it for a long time.

 Cruel Twist Ending: Deacon ensures that Anna gets buried alive with Paul thinking she was already dead. Then Deacon tells a drunk Paul to go see for himself that she's really dead. He goes and digs her up just in time to save her from suffocating and everything seems like it will end well. Then it turns out it was all a hallucination and he ends up on Deacon's morgue table with Deacon telling him he really died in a car crash on the way to the cemetery before inserting a trocar deep into his torso. So Anna dies in a grave, Paul is killed, and Deacon gets away with everything.

 Cassandra Truth: No one believes Paul when he claims Anna is really still alive.
