If you showed this movie to the young me, the one who LOVED Ghostbusters, who laughed and shivered at every twist and turn ("Magic" by Mick Smiley still creeps me out), who deeply identified with each of the Jungian archetypes of the 'Busters themselves, he would assume that his future would be a parched and barren landscape. It's called "Afterlife" because we've been all been dead for years.
