Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Beystiman
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Fatma Suarez
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Kayden
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
Kellie Stewart
This was a horrible, poorly made movie. It shifts to so many different places that it is easy to lose interest. I hated Reeker, but it is the same type plot, only easier to watch. Wait until this movie is on TV for free to bother watching it. The randomness of the characters popping up and the demeanor of the main girl were completely disjointed from the story. Although it ties itself together in the end, the strings that lead there are long and very boring. What are the chances of distressed people seeking help at a morgue in the middle of the night and what are the chance of the doors to the morgue being opened to allow them free access to enter. If you get this movie looking to be scared, don't bother. It will just leave you unscared and disappointed.

As a Brazilian, I must be very proud of having fellow citizens directing a movie in the USA, specially when they do a good job. We only hear about mainstream names such as Walter Salles and Fernando Meirelles, and finding out that other Brazilian directors are breaking successfully through the very competitive film industry in the United States, makes us curious and anxious about what they're doing. Such a relieve!!!!!! The Morgue is very well conducted, and the storyline, in spite of movies such as The Six Sense and The Others were previously made, is very original in its way. The movie will be released as well in Brasil (mid September), by Universal Picutres. I'm a spiritualist, and this is one of the reasons that made me enjoy and give more credibility to the film. The Morgue respect the dead ones by not portraying them as stereotyped scary ghosts. Congratulations fellows. I'll totally recommend it in the video store I work for. Have my full 10 by competence, not patriotism!

Six people, including a family with a broken-down car and a couple blood-covered guys, become trapped in a church morgue. As the night progresses, secrets about the group are revealed and a black-clad murderer begins to attack the group in mortician-like ways.I'll be honest: I only even attempted to watch this for Bill Cobbs. He's a great actor and my respect for him made me take a chance on this one. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This film is just about the definition of 'below average.' While it was nice to see Cobbs and (a surprise to me) Heather Donahue of The Blair Witch Project fame on screen, it was NOT nice to see how low they've sunk. The rest of the cast ranged from subpar to just plain bad. The story was unoriginal and oddly executed. Also, predictability, something that annoys me more than most errors in film, barely begins to describe it. You know it's bad when the 'twist' is pretty obvious no more than 5-10 minutes into the film. The direction was apt as far as the general look of the film, I suppose, but the editing was awful. . . the quick flash cuts and overlapping background dialogue just grated on my nerves by the end. The plot turns could be seen from Mars, and the dialogue was stiff and unrealistic, resulting in an even worse performance from a cast that bad enough to begin with. The film had a lot of problems, but it was watchable enough, I guess, to warrant a viewing if the plot and/or cast interests you.Final verdict: 3.5/10.-AP3-

Not even worth a rent to be honest. The cover and tag line are misleading- i thought i was going to watch a good old zombie fest! "The Morgue- where the dead 'live' !?" -yeah right!! Acting is 'just' bearable- but the story is really non existent- it never seems to get going and there is zero suspense! Obviously it is a low budget affair- but most directors know how to build suspense- and even the cliché jump bits with music stabs failed to work.Nothing was explained- why was she upset with her boyfriend? Night watchman lost his daughter- needed more info- why was he there at all? Who was this man who killed himself in the toilet?And why did he have a stupid Hood on? Non of it was explained at all- the explanations for people being at the morgue seemed 'blue tacked' on! And why was she buried in a grave when the film is set in a Mausoleum?? This film tried to take itself seriously and failed big time- it wasn't clever it has been done several times before and so much better, lame and tired writing from a talentless screenwriter. Avoid.
