I have been pretty taken by the idea of an Afterlife. I have had two near death experiences so far in my life, one when I was 13 years old and another not too long ago this year. In the first experience, I was gone for a whole day, and in the second one, I blacked out for few minutes which seemed like a lifetime to me. I feel very different as though, I have a whole new appreciation for life, people and doing good deeds. Needless to tell you that throughout my life I have been very much in love with horror movies that are centered around the whole aspect of near-death experiences and the afterlife. I have done my homework on the subject and I found myself very open to all of the different versions of all the different cultures. There is a new horror movie that deals with this subject which will be out in theaters in April. It's called After.life starring Justin Long, Liam Nesson and Christina Ricci about a girl named Anna (Christina Ricci) who is stuck in between life and death after a car accident at a funeral home where a sinister looking funeral director played by Liam Nesson is helping her cope with her current stage and accept her death. She doesn't feel dead, she claims and fears the funeral director has some ulterior motives behind his devotion to help her face her demons and accept to cross over on the other side. As her burial is approaching, she tries several times to reach her boyfriend played by Justin Long who also suspects that the funeral director knows how to help Anna but is refusing to do so for some dark reasons!

Why: The Thing is always going to remain one of the greatest Alien movies ever because the storyline is both plausible and unimaginable. The Prequel to this Claustrophobic and Paranoiac tale of a shapeshifting alien that overpowered a Norwegian Research team by assimilating them is likely to be both highly anticipated and mostly watched - wrong. But I loved the storyline, I loved how it ended to merge with the beginning of the former movie, I loved the special effects, I also loved the actors I thought they did a very good job overall. This Prequel will make you feel that it was necessary to The Thing franchise as it explains the Alaskan Malamute being chased after and shot at by a rifleman from a Norwegian helicopter.

Actors: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Ulrich Thomsen, Eric Christian Olsen

WTF Scene: Where Elsa played by Sarah Polley and Dren played by the gorgeous Delphine Chaneac are in the woods, Dren tackles Elsa to the ground, Elsa screams trying to understand Dren's motives for attacking her, and He-she tells her that it wants to be inside her, at that point I am not just taken aback, I cannot believe that she seduces and does the dirty with Clive played by Adrian Brody supposedly her father figure and now Male-Dren wants Elsa (her mother figure), can you say, incestuous menagerie to the max? Shockingly her tail was not only a sharp tool used to kill innocent animal and people alike but also a make-shift penis forced on Elsa as Male-Dren rapes Elsa for over three minutes with her multi-purpose tail.

Bottom Line: In Splice there were a lot of WTF moments but this rape scene was unlike any other as I was both violently traumatized and brain-raped by that part.
