An intern with a troubled past faces demonic possession in an uneven theatrical adaptation of DarkStone Digital and DreadXP’s hit video game, The Mortuary Assistant. The scares are few and far between as sluggish pacing threatens to derail the hellish mystery that drives the narrative. Thankfully, a strong lead performance from Willa Holland and sharp production elements help to overcome tired genre tropes with grim lighting, an eerily effective sound design, and tracking shots that mirror the source material. This will directly appeal to the game’s fan base, but won’t be as impactful to newbies just looking for a good fright.
