9/10
Totally hooked!
16 February 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Absolutely loved The After! Gigi Generau is a French actress in America and after going to her latest audition she and a group of other random people get stuck in a lift. They eventually manage to escape the lift only to find they are locked in a parking lot with all doors and gates locked. With the help of an escaped murderer Gigi manages to slide under the parking lot gate to find the city has ground to a halt with electricity and all other utilities no longer working and thousands of other people in the streets. With nobody knowing what has happened Gigi gets back to her hotel room and fills her suitcases with food and drink and returns to the parking lot. As she arrives back the escaped prisoner also comes back with a fire engine and bolt cutters to free the rest of the group.

One of the group is a rich old lady so the group make their way back to her house. While at the house the group realise they all share the same birthday! Chaos ensues when a group of criminals come to the house intent on stealing the old lady's money and the escaped prisoner shoots one of these criminals and they all run for their lives. When they reach the forest everything changes when the escaped prisoner shoots a creature.

I don't want to give much more away and ruin things for those who haven't watched it but The After is a cross between X Files and Lost with a fantastic story which you'll find yourself gagging to know more! I was on the edge of my seat all the way through and really hope this gets picked up for a full season. I didn't see the twist coming at the end at all, I was thinking it was more apocalyptic so the twist at the end was a complete surprise.

I'd pay to see this so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a full season!!
