     If you can stomach necrophilia, and graphic defilement of a corpse, then Aftermath is right up your alley.  I had the pleasure of watching this short a little while ago, but was constantly interrupted by idiot roommates that had to comment constantly at what they were seeing.  Fast forward to today when I was finally able to stream the video without any interruptions, and let me tell you first hand, I was very impressed with work.

     The whole story is focused around Morgue workers and their day to day duties.  Once the day is done, a worker stays behind and decides to do some very unsavory things to a corpse of a young woman.  Nothing more than just that.  All in the span of 30 minutes, which is about most peoples threshold for content such as Aftermath.

     I really liked this short.  It reminded me of the raw creativity of Nekromantik.  Yes, it was a very graphic and somewhat disturbing movie, but hey, some people live for this sort of thing.  I for one enjoyed the fact that there were no actual words spoken.  It was just glances and stares from people to people.  When the morgue worker decides to do his thing, you feel like you're right there with him trying not to get caught.

     Aftermath is definitely not for the weak stomached or sensitive type.  It hits a nerve with you and stays.  I would recommend this movie to the Gore Hounds world wide.
