"Where the dead live". Believe, this is written on the cover of the DVD case! Damn! Why did distributor spoiled the nice content of this film?!

Well, you already know the story. But don't get it wrong, this film is a decent low budget horror flick totally worth seeing it - in spite of the not so fast first act (at least compared to what we're used to see nowadays), where it shows the protagonist on her lonely after hours heavy duty, cleaning a mausoleum. It's a movie about loneliness, in part, as i understood, and that's why I believe directors didn't rush at the beginning (thanks God, so i could appreciate more of cute Lisa Crilley).

As the storyline progresses, all situations seemed extremely familiar - being at the wrong place at the wrong time, ghosts in state of confusion, etc, etc, etc... - to other horror movies i've seen before. Nevertheless, i was wrong on most of my guesses, as the final act revealed a very intriguing truth. What truth? Well, it all depends on what perception one sees it.

A more substantial budget could have made The Morgue a much more intense film. The cover of the DVD doesn't match appropriately with the clever content of the movie.
