3.0 out of 5 stars Atmosphere............, September 7, 2008

This review is from: The Morgue (DVD)

I usually enjoy anything the Lionsgate name appears on , but I didn't realize this was a Lionsgate flick until I rented it. It was entertaining enough with an unusual style. I thought the acting was transparent in some spots, and the music, suitable at first, tended to get annoying later. But this movie has a very strange feel; that's what kept me glued to it.

I don't want to reveal anything, but you'll probably start to work it out fairly early in the film, because this "twist" has been twisted before.

Still a good one, though. Once again, Lionsgate does not disappoint.

3.0 out of 5 stars Don't Necessarily Bury this One, January 11, 2009

This review is from: The Morgue (DVD)

The jacket on this DVD advertises an astonishing twist ending. You'll probably guess that ending from the start though. The cinematic tricks and quick replays make it fairly obvious. However, there is a slightly different take on that obvious ending that's revealed in the movie's very last sentence voice-over.

On the negative side, the actors are mostly unknowns and in some instances, rightly so. The sets and production values show Morgue's amateur roots, and the narrative involves some contradictory muddle in the Morgue.

On the plus side, while there is no full-length Directors' commentary on the DVD, there is a "Making of Morgue" featurette that shows a little of the interesting interaction between the Portuguese Directors and the American/Canadian cast and crew.

Overall, this movie is worth sticking with, although it's a marginal call. But it might leave you, at least temporarily, with a greater appreciation for what you have. And that's more than most quick indie movies accomplish.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lionsgate Yet Again Puts Out Another Flix That's Dead On Arrival., September 11, 2008

By 

Eric Ericson "RedSabbath" (Venice, Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Morgue (DVD)

Take five seemingly unrelated people, put them meeting at a Morgue, have them chased by someone with a scalpel, then chop the film to pieces & reconnect the parts any way you see fit, and that's The Morgue. Very low budget, and without giving too much away, if you needed a movie that's a poor-mans cross between The Sixth Sense and The Others, go rent this for free from Redbox like I did. Wish I didn't though...Jeez, Lionsgate really has been putting out the lamest flix lately....
