Here After is a 2024 supernatural drama-thriller directed by Robert Salerno. The film follows Claire Hiller (Connie Britton), an American divorcée residing in Rome, whose life is upended when her teenage daughter, Robin (Freya Hannan-Mills), is involved in a severe bicycle accident. Declared clinically dead for 20 minutes, Robin miraculously revives but exhibits unsettling changes: she begins speaking after a decade of selective mutism, displays uncharacteristic surliness, and engages in peculiar behavior. As Claire grapples with these transformations, she confronts the possibility that something sinister may have accompanied her daughter’s return from the brink of death.

The narrative delves into themes of grief, maternal anguish, and the supernatural. Claire seeks solace and guidance from her colleague Viv (Babetida Sadjo) and turns to her faith for answers. Despite the film’s atmospheric tension, it has been critiqued for its reliance on familiar horror tropes and lack of originality. Connie Britton’s portrayal of Claire brings depth to the character, capturing the profound emotional turmoil of a mother desperate to save her child. However, the film’s execution has been described as clichéd and lacking in genuine suspense, rendering it a “bland and distant” exploration of its central themes.
