» Why do many people seem to be fascinated by true crime stories, especially when it's about the lives of serial killers? I guess it's a morbid curiosity.

However, we still see more and more news of violence and regular crimes, which is a direct consequence of watching movies and various media.

» Whether you believe in life after death or not, we can all agree that it would be nice to have more time to settle matters or have the chance to say goodbye to loved ones before we continue our journey into the afterlife. This combination of romance and supernatural has been used in a number of films over the years like Ghost, a blockbuster hit from 1990, and more recently in Endless (2020). These films are usually designed to be feel-good or tear-jerkers and you'll get both from the latest Netflix original Afterlife Of The Party.
