Production

[2] [4] The deaths of cast members Chris Penn and Leo Burmester, as well as budget and schedule issues, served as reasons as to why the production lasted for years. [2] [3]

The film was released at the Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival in 2013. [3] It was released on VOD on April 21, 2015. [5] [6]

Reception

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "The result is a bit of a patchwork, one that’s often clever, other times convoluted, but always watchable — if only to see what might happen next." [2]

The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review: "Aftermath offers little to justify its obviously long-delayed theatrical release." [7]

Jeri Jacquin of Patch Media awarded the film "four tubs of popcorn out of five." [8]
