Directed by Tobe Hooper (POLTERGEIST, THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE), MORTUARY follows the Doyle family as they move to a small, sleepy California town and attempt to run a funeral home and cemetery. As...( read more  read more... ) viewers might suspect, the formerly abandoned funeral home is not clear of spirits or horror, giving weight to local rumors of its being haunted by the undead.

    Actually a lot of fun, so don't let the genre swap spoil your enjoyment of this movie. Not a masterpiece by any means, but a really enjoyable film nonetheless.

    More sad than scary, and left too much unexplained.

    Directed by: Tobe Hooper.
    Starring: Dan Byrd, Denise Crosby, Stephanie Patton, Alexandra Adi.

    Cliche, after cliche....after cliche, god this movie infuriated me, I am a big Tobe Hooper fan, he did a brilliant job and showed a lot of potential for futu...( read more)re films after he did The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist, since then he has gone downhill, but never in my mind did I think he would sink this low.

    Using a atrocious, cliched script, the film at 94 minutes, drags in too many places and uses cheap, cliched jump sequences for 'genuine scares' as Hollywood horror does nowadays to get the little girls screaming, mediocre acting (mainly from the little girl, who showed more talent then the rest of the actors), no real atmosphere and I hate to say it...bad direction.

    I just hope one day Tobe uses his head and gets back into gear, because its more talent gone to waste because of Hollywood.

    Tobe Hooper has really lost his touch.

    Kinda boring low budget cheese from the director of TCM and Poltergeist. Nice to see the mom from Pet Cemetary and the kid from The Hills Have Eyes remake in it but still weak

    What to expect from a movie where the monsters melt when you throw salt at them?
  • August 4, 2009

    Another Tobe Hooper gore-fest. It's so bad it's good. Another great late-night rental.
