Aftershocks

Excellent! Very sympathetically done re all the mental trauma stuff. Also truly scary in places. I liked the young actors, I thought they did a great job. More stuff like this please. Job well done.

kimsmithhappy ,

Intelligent portrayal of mental illness & horror combination!

Spooky, touching, funny, gripping and overall a good insight into some mental illnesses. Nicely done with some serious scares in there too!

Gripping
