Mortuary Massacre is an awesome new entry in the hallowed halls of horror anthologies. We open with a grizzled detective named Det. Giger who hears about some strange corpses piling up in an L.A. morgue run by a creepy dude played by the infamous Carl Crew (of Blood Diner fame). Giger is shown various mutilated corpses and treated to bizarre stories about how each one of them came to be in the morgue.
If I had to pick a favorite short it would be "The Apartment", but best creature design goes to Snake-eyed Jack in, you guessed it, "Snake-eyed Jack." Oh, and the twist ending of the wrap-around story is a great treat and leaves you wanting more blood.
This flick is fun, fast paced, and pulpy in the best way. There's a transgressive, almost experimental, feeling to some of the proceedings that brings to mind the films of David Lynch, Nick Zedd, and others of their ilk.
Point is: Mortuary Massacre is super fun and Chris J. Miller is an insane director who needs to be watched!
