Life After Beth, a 2014 A24 zombie comedy directed by Jeff Baena, follows Zach Orfman (Dane DeHaan) as he deals with the grief of losing his girlfriend Beth (Aubrey Plaza) in a tragic accident. Beth returns to life, but she has no memory of her demise and quickly becomes increasingly erratic, demonstrating unnatural strength and deteriorating health.

Her parents, played by John C. Reilly and Molly Shannon, attempt to keep Beth hidden from Zach, who agrees to stay with her to avoid the loss he cannot bear. As the movie progresses, it becomes evident that Beth's resurrection is only the beginning of a larger, more sinister issue, as more people in the town begin to return from the dead.

The film, featuring Aubrey Plaza's standout performance, explores the painful yet universal experience of coping with loss and the difficulty of letting go of someone who has died. Life After Beth is an offbeat and darkly humorous movie that is currently free to stream on Pluto TV.
