The Mortuary Collection (2020)

 

Come on in, the funeral home is open for business.



The rare horror anthology where not only are the segments consistent, they're also consistently good and in a few cases downright great.  (There's a moment in an elevator that I'm going to be thinking about for a while, a horrifically beautiful moment that is straight-up lovely and terrifying.)  There's very welcome appearances from people I've seen in other things, like Jacob Elordi and Sarah Hay and at least three people who I want to see more of them in the future (especially Christine Kilmer, Ema Horvath and Caitlin Custer, all of whom are delivering real good work here).  This movie is a damn pleasant surprise and I'm looking forward to what writer/director Ryan Spindell does next.

And, let's be clear, Clancy Brown as a Cryptkeeper-esque mortician is simply sublime.

★★★★ 

2020 - Written and directed by Ryan Spindell.
