''Aftermath'' is a [[HorrorFilms Horror Movie]] by Peter Winther.

Natalie Dadich (Ashley Greene) and Kevin Dadich (Shawn Ashmore) are a young couple who's relationship isn't in the best place right now. Natalie recently cheated on Kevin, and despite them still being together, and still being in love, the affair still left things between them strained.

Kevin decided a change of scenery was needed, so he purchased a house for them to move into. Thing is, the house is also one in which another couple were killed in a murder-suicide, which he helped to clean up. Regardless, the two decide to make the most of it.

However, soon strange things start happening in the house. And as they get worse, it starts to take a toll on their already-strained relationship.

The film was released on August 4th, 2021.

!!''Aftermath'' contains examples of:
* FashionDesigner: Natalie's career.
* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Kevin says that the husband splattering their brains on the wall behind him is a "douche move". This gets him some unfriendly looks from the deceased's family.
* OneWordTitle: Naturally.
