2/4
Rebecca’s battle against the forces of evil isn’t so much all for naught as it is boringly routine. Holland deserves better. For that matter, so does the audience. Go to Full Review

Lore takes tedious precedence in an adaptation unable to generate fear. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 17h
The Mortuary Assistant is a horror flick that's dead on arrival. It's an incoherent and extremely repetitive story about a mortuary employee who tries to get rid of her demon possession by transferring the demon to dead bodies. Go to Full Review

B-
The Mortuary Assistant works on a pop-up, demons-that-go-bump-in-the-night level. It just doesn’t reward deep examination or provide many bonus aspects. Go to Full Review

1.5/4
The video game sounds like it might be scarier because at least there is a greater potential for surprise when things jump out and make a loud noise which after some early promise is about all the film has left to offer. Go to Full Review

4/5
The Mortuary Assistant explores one woman's trauma as it resurfaces during the course of one fateful night, and is an effective adaptation of the iconic game. Go to Full Review

Teal 3d Acting was ok, visually fine but it felt like it drug on, choppy story and the pieces didn’t seem to fit smoothly. Had far higher hopes for this game adaptation. See more Ben W 4d Worse than Return to Silent Hill. Way worse. Very bad. Very stupid. No. See more Alex 4d I want to preface this by saying I am a fan of the game this is based on. It’s a fun horror game, and there was a lot of potential to make a decent movie based on it. However, that is not what happened here unfortunately. The storyline was really clunky and just blatantly confusing. The filming style was nice, but the writing and storyline was a complete train wreck. I am a regular theater-goer, and have seen hundreds of movies (good and bad), but I think this is the first time I have ever wanted to walk out of a movie at a theater. Don’t recommend. See more Avishai W 4d My friend wrote this and I’m proud of her See more Edward G 4d The movie has potential, but I think the AA meeting is unnecessary. The first act felt like I wanted to leave the theater, but the second half saved it by talking about how to prevent a demon. The complete flashback at the end was pretty interesting and makes me want to know more. Hope they make a sequel. See more Juan D 4d i was expecting a more scarier movie because i played the game, the adaptation is good, but the scares are not quite there. still a good and entertaining movie.
