This book explores how post-death existence is represented in
popular film, looking at issues such as continuity, personal
identity, and the nature of existence beyond the grave. Film often
returns to the theme of dying, death and the afterlife, both
directly and indirectly, because there are very few subjects as
compelling and universal. The book compares the representation of
death, dying and the afterlife in films to scholarly surveys of
attitudes towards life-after-death through the analysis of twenty
films made between the end of World War II and now. It looks at the
portrayals of stages between death and a final destination;
spatio-temporal and personal continuity; the nature of afterlife
existence in terms of embodiment, or not; and the contact between
the worlds of the living and the dead. This book offers a
wide-ranging view on a compelling subject in film. As such, it will
be of great interest to scholars of Religion and Film, Religion and
Media, the Philosophy of Religion, and the Sociology of Religion,
as well as Religion, Media and Film Studies more generally .
