StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Numerootno A story that's too fascinating to pass by...
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Christopher Hewitt Folks, I've got sad news to deliver to you: never before in my whole life have I seen a more terrible movie. It's hard to even pinpoint what exactly is wrong with it because it is just so random and pointless. Let me put it as plainly as possible:The acting is awful. Just plain bad. It could be because the script was written so poorly with things like, "We need to leave." "Okay." But wow, it's just uninteresting and so so boring.The idea for the plot SEEMS interesting, like they had something going, but then it just leads itself into more "filler scenes", with no point, leaving you wondering "What the heck is going on"The movie ties itself together, but the problem is that its randomness leaves you puzzled.There is NOTHING scary about this whatsoever. The fact that it is rated 'R' leaves me in total awe. I was waiting for moments in any good horror/thriller, like something that actually makes me scream out loud or something, but the only things that happen are characters getting hit by shovels and whatnot. What gives?It claims there is an "astonishing twist" but is hardly original or even creative. I want my money back, this is absurd. Unfortunately, I had gone to the store to rent this movie, unaware of how bad its rating here is, and how virtually unknown it is. A clue to that could have been that the actors aren't that well-known either.Bottom line, DO NOT see this movie. It should have never been made. I would never recommend it in a thousand years. I wasted 82 minutes of my life. It's just so poorly written, badly acted, and horribly executed. Make sure the next time you see a movie, check it out and make sure it does well in the ratings, unlike this one.1 out of 10.
terrible2 An enjoyable little indie from directors Halder Gomes and Gerson Sanginitto, which visits a rather strange funeral home in the middle of nowhere. "The Morgue" is extremely well shot and visually looks better then most big budget horror crap coming out of Hollywood these days. However, the story starts out strong but slowly becomes quite predictable and eventually fizzles out in a dull fashion. Individual performances shine by most of the underrated cast, and new-comer Lisa Crilley is fun to watch as she fumbles through her odd existence as the janitor of the fore-mentioned title. She certainly breathes life into her anti-hero role, and doesn't rely on star status to do it. The always wonderful Bill Cobbs seems a bit under-used here, but none the less plays his part to great effect and Heather Donahue of "Blair Witch" fame has a fun turn as a doomed bitchy wife. The cinematography looks incredible as we maneuver through a giant maze of a mausoleum, and into the dark crevasses of the morgue itself, but this alone cannot save the story which becomes increasingly mundane and silly. Worth a viewing for sure, and I hope to see more of Lisa Crilley in the future.
Kellie Stewart This was a horrible, poorly made movie. It shifts to so many different places that it is easy to lose interest. I hated Reeker, but it is the same type plot, only easier to watch. Wait until this movie is on TV for free to bother watching it. The randomness of the characters popping up and the demeanor of the main girl were completely disjointed from the story. Although it ties itself together in the end, the strings that lead there are long and very boring. What are the chances of distressed people seeking help at a morgue in the middle of the night and what are the chance of the doors to the morgue being opened to allow them free access to enter. If you get this movie looking to be scared, don't bother. It will just leave you unscared and disappointed.
Drica Silva Wow! Finally a supernatural film where alive people don't see dead people! The Morgue is a different film, with a different pace, and, why not to say, strangely interesting. The final twists totally got me on and paid off! Yes, the storyline could be confusing at some points before the "climax", however, every little missing detail were surprisingly tied up in the end. One of the things I really enjoyed was the co-existence of both worlds, "alive ones" and "dead ones", sharing the same places, and, for my surprise, our "world" causing interferences on theirs, and not the other way around! I humbly have to admit that the twists totally fooled me...in a great way. The acting oscillates a bit once in while, but nothing that pulled me off the story. I totally recommend it, but don't expect great scares or cats jumping on the screen.
