Kenzie (Shelley Novak) has been killed by who she thinks was the Devil
(James Shiels III) and has wondered the valley of death, but has since
rather unexpicably come back to life again. Ever since she's been writing
on a book about her experiences, and she thinks Dr. Porter (Gordon Price)
and Adora Hall (Amber Lee) might be able to give her the final advice on
her work, especially since they've both written books about death and
afterlife, suicide and purgatory. But after a joint book reading the two
kill themselves independently from one another, he because he has just
received (erroneous) terminal cancer findings, she because she finds her
husband (Alex Michalos) has just killed their kids (Kyler Brockman, Evan
Phillips) and then himself - both valid excuses for suicide, no matter
where you stand on the subject. Kenzie though doesn't give up on them and
tries to make contact with the spirit world - but instead she's somehow
pushed into the beyond, into a place that might be hell, and finds things
are even worse than she initially assumed, as someone's killing the deads
of hell ...
Now this film isn't totally easy to follow as it's based on a
very complex mythology (presumably) of its own design, but doesn't try to
hit the audience in the head with a sledgehammer but leaves much to the
audience's imagination, while delivering just the right kind of atmosphere
to make things palpable for the viewer all the same. And colourful, not
run-of-the-mill characters with relatable motives, and an able cast
embodying them really helps for this film to hit home and provide some
suitably creepy genre entertainment.
