Aftermath is a short horror film by the Spanish director Nacho Cerdà made in 1994. It follows a pair of morticians performing graphic autopsies on a pair of corpses. After one leaves for the night, the second begins working on a third body, a young woman identified as Marta Arnau Marti, killed in a car crash. He first mutilates the corpse, then uses it for necrophiliac purposes while taking photographs. After he finishes, he removes the woman's heart and completes the autopsy, then takes her heart home and blends it into a fine pulp. The film ends as he feeds his dog the heart while he relaxes and watches TV.

There is no spoken dialogue for the duration of the film.

The film is 31:52 minutes long and is part of a trilogy of short films, revolving about the subjects of birth (The Awakening, 1990), death (Aftermath, 1994) and rebirth (Genesis, 1998).
