I got to check out a screener copy of THE MORGUE, and before I saw it there were no reviews to go on, so I went in to this with no expectations. It actually turned out to be a nice little surprise.
Six strangers are bought together by a string of unusual events, they seemingly go unnoticed by other people. In their attempt for survival, they latch on to each other in a mortuary, in a hope to make it through the night, but there is a hooded scalp-wielding killer on the loose. The film seems to be a slasher type movie, but it actually is'nt, it takes a massive diversion from being a run of the mill slashfest, and becomes a mystery thriller that has a bizarre twist ending, which I thought was worth sticking around for, although it does seem an ending which has been done before.
The pacing of the film was a little slow in the middle I thought, but at around 81 minutes long, it does'nt slow down enough to make you bored. It reminded me of another film called DEAD END, also a film worth seeking out if you hav'nt seen it.
If it's blood your after, there's little on offer here in that department.
Im not sure when this is coming out, I can only assume it's going to be straight to DVD, probably LIONSGATE will pick it up, but my advice is give it a look, it's worth a rental for sure.
