Preview: The Afterlight (2010)

Synopsis:

A couple moves into the country hoping to escape their past and move on with their lives, but various events and memories threaten to unhinge their marriage amidst the desolation of their environs.

• Poster: D+

Review:

Seldom does using a split screen on a poster do more than haphazardly convey the principle characters and scenes of a film. This poster epitomizes the worst aspects of such compositions.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

One quote in the trailer says "guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat". If you replaced it with "guaranteed to put you into a coma", you'd have a pretty apt description of this lengthy, lethargic trailer. In their attempts to convey the solitude and environment of the film, they have created a difficult and tiresome preview.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
