2010 - HEREAFTER, drama about the supernatural is mighty low key

Three stories about people interacting with the supernatural.  Matt Damon is a psychic who can't handle his psychic powers.  Some kid in London sees his brother killed and then wants to communicate with him from beyond the grave.  In the third story, a French reporter survives the 2004 tsunami and has a near death experience where she sees ghostly images.

This film was directed by Clint Eastwood and it's so low key and quiet that all the supernatural stuff doesn't have a fighting chance in the film it's hard to see what the big deal about the afterlife is when the afterlife is so damn laid back and low key.

If you are going to make a film about the supernatural it would be nice if there was actually a little more interaction with the supernatural.  At the very least the humans could have interacted with Fatso, Stinky, and Stretch from Casper the Friendly Ghost,  which would have introduced a little action to this film.

Clint Eastwood has been a prolific filmmaker since he started working behind the camera,  32 films since he started directing in 1971.  They have all been of very variable quality.  For every Unforgiven the viewer has to sit through 5 of 6 films like Space Cowboys or Hereafter.

129 minutes, written by Peter Morgan.
