Review of Mortuary (2005) by Richard D — 12 Nov 2016
A girl is convinced that her father was murdered in the family pool by a mysterious stranger. Meanwhile her boyfriend and his buddy sneak into a warehouse belonging to the local mortuary and see the owner (Christopher George) conducting some kind of Satanic ritual with her mother (Lynda Day George).
Then his buddy disappears. Is the mortician conspiring with her mother to murder her? Not to give away too much, but all this plot setup is completely irrelevant since something completely different is happening involving a very young, pre-Terminator Bill Paxton.
A weird film that is often effective despite a sluggish pace and a bizarre plot with a ton of red herrings that are largely just forgotten about. Paxton is pretty magnificent here, and sometimes this is genuinely creepy .
.. when it isn't being completely idiotic.
