The Mortuary Collection

I agree with those rather negative reviews that The Mortuary Collection is nothing special or unique - but, and this is a great but, everything we get served is well produced and good looking (nice settings, costume designs etc.). The actors (Clancy Brown and Caitlin Custer!) do very well, and some fine gory special effects spice things up. The twist in the end is also a nice one. Anyway, if you like all those oldskool Hammer Films anthologies (Vincent Price, Peter Cushing etc.) or shows like Tales From the Crypt, this one is just waiting for you.

A creepy ol mortician manages a very strange mortuary all alone until a young woman shows interest in working in the mortuary for the mortician. The mortician tells the young apprentice a series of stories about those that have died in the town.

The first seg is set in the 50s n the location is the restroom with enuff suspense, tension n mayhem.

The second seg is set in the 60s n showcases the horrors of not wearing a condom. It is funny, gross n has a big wtf end.

The third seg is set in the 70s n is about a depressed and devoted husbad taking care of his comatose wife. It is surrealistic, gory n has two very lol scenes, elevator hand scene n the doc cutting off the phone.

The fourth seg is about a psycho on the loose targeting babysitters n kids. It is a bit heavy cos of child at peril stuff, very violent n has a good twist.

The wrap-around story is predictable though.

The stories in this collection are quite good and enjoyable. The atmosphere created adds the charm. It's really enjoyable horror anthology. And the way it is ended is nice finish.A good treat for horror fans.

I have watched SO many absolutely awful horror movies on Amazon Prime and Netflix that I was anticipating "The Mortuary Collection" to be another cheesy stinker with enough plot holes to drive a Polaris submarine through. I have rarely been so delighted to be wrong.

I've always liked Clancy Brown, and he plays the mortician character, Montgomery Dsrk, with an affable, quirky aplomb. Caitlin Custer absolutely nails it with her performance as a young woman who has supposedly come to apply for a job opening for mortuary assistant.

If you enjoyed the old HBO "Tales from the Crypt" series... which I did... you will very likely enjoy "The Mortuary Collection". It isn't perfect, but it is well worth a watch.

I wasn't expecting too much from this movie as I normally find short stories a bit disappointing. Sometimes you just don't get enough from a short story, but in this case I have to admit they were all well made and interesting to follow. The acting was good and that from all the actors in the different stories. The special effects and the make-up for the creeps and monsters, it was all done very professionally and they deserve credits for that. The Mortuary Collection is perfect for amateurs of Tales From The Crypt but it will also please people that just like a good horror tale with decent special effects.
