Rating Overview
Rating Summary
One of the earliest near-death experiences occurred around 375 BC and was recorded in Plato’s Republic. It tells of a warrior who was killed in battle, is miraculously revived at his own funeral, and then tells the assembled mourners of his after death experience and the mechanism by which the dead are judged for their corporal deeds.
After Death
On the heels of their surprise megahit, Sound of Freedom, Angel Studios isn’t slowing down. After Death, set to be released in theaters on October 27 of this year, documents the experiences of several men who, after undergoing extreme physical trauma and being deemed clinically dead, attest to having crossed over to the other side before their miraculous return to the material plane.
In today’s secular world, filled with scientific explanations for everything from loyalty to happiness and technological marvels bordering on magic, it is easy for believers and non-believers alike to dismiss these types of anecdotal tales as simple hallucinations and dreams. However, After Death presents compelling evidence and heartfelt testimony that may not constitute proof but certainly provides enough material for thought-provoking contemplation.
Due to the inherently qualitative nature of the content, the average viewer could easily find their thoughts veering into skepticism as they begin to pick apart the individual narratives. However, thanks to the expert craftsmanship of its talented directors (Stephen Gray and Chris Radtke), who masterfully conduct every component of this storytelling symphony, your attention never has a chance to stray.
Gray and Radtke have successfully crafted a captivating work that provides viewers with the opportunity to fully absorb the documentary, readying it for later discussion and debate.
Presented through high-quality reenactments, narrated by the real-life subjects themselves that may just have you dabbing at your eyes more than once, and interspersed with insights from medical, psychological, and philosophical experts, After Death is a dynamic documentary brimming with gripping tales of resilience and optimism.

I’ll have to check it out!
Also, when are you guys going to review the FNAF movie? I’m not going to watch it because I can’t do scary, but I’d like to know if it’s a good story or not
