Over Her Dead Body 2008

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, Henry’s proposed marriage to Kate is violently disrupted on their wedding day by an angelic ice sculpture. As Kate lies lifeless and unaware of her own demise, her spirit drifts into Purgatory. There, she finds herself in an incessant argument with an angel, who departs before she can understand the necessity of moving on.

In the meantime, Henry’s sister Chloe, determined to support him through his grief, introduces him to Ashley, a fascinating psychic who also has a talent for catering. Although their initial encounter is unremarkable, Chloe’s dedication yields fruit when she shares Kate’s diary with Ashley. This prompts Ashley to feign communication with the late bride, hoping to help Henry find closure. As Henry and Ashley’s relationship begins to flourish, Kate’s persistent spirit becomes ever more prominent—much to the chagrin of everyone involved.

As Ashley unknowingly gets ensnared in Kate’s unresolved issues, she starts to face bizarre occurrences that leave her puzzled and unsettled. Despite Kate’s hostile efforts to sabotage the budding romance using her supernatural abilities, Ashley remains steadfastly loyal to Henry. However, it soon becomes evident that Kate is indeed haunting Ashley’s every move. In a surprising twist, the ice sculptor is revealed to be a ghost himself, who urges Kate to face her own unfinished business, emphasizing the importance of resolution for them both.

Kate’s reaction is to unleash her spectral powers, utilizing intangibility, levitation, and eerie sounds in a bid to separate Henry from Ashley. Eventually, Henry sees through the deception and chooses to end his relationship with Ashley, leaving her heartbroken.

In a shocking development, Ashley finds comfort in Dan’s embrace, only to face emotional turmoil when he admits that his feelings for her are sincere—a truth she had been blind to. As Ashley grapples with this new reality, she reconciles with Dan, finding a glimmer of hope amid the chaos in their lives. As seasons change, Kate observes Henry spiraling deeper into despair, haunted by unresolved feelings. It is during one of these poignant moments that the mysterious sculptor reappears, challenging Kate to confront her unfinished business.

With a candid conversation, he reveals that if she had resolved her issues, she would have moved on from the mortal realm. This strikes a chord with Kate, leading her to acknowledge that she genuinely wishes for Henry’s happiness, which she realizes is intertwined with Ashley’s presence. The sculptor then reveals a shocking truth: Kate has been his unfinished business, compelling him to assist her in achieving closure before he can himself move on.

Determined to help Henry find happiness with Ashley, Kate attempts to sway her but fails, as Ashley is about to embark on an exciting journey to Las Vegas with Dan. In a moment of desperation, Kate seeks help from an unlikely ally—Henry’s parrot—with its squawking to orchestrate a heartfelt reunion between the two lovers. As Henry and Ashley come together once more, they share a touching moment, their love reignited and their bond fortified by forgiveness.

During the subsequent wedding ceremony, Ashley makes a touching vow to Kate, promising to prioritize Henry’s joy above all else. As the celebrations unfold, Dan forges a new bond with Chloe, while Kate finds herself back in Purgatory, her efforts recognized by the angelic figure. With her “orb of true light” now complete, Kate is left contemplating her next steps in the afterlife, ready to embrace whatever comes next.
