Critic Reviews for The Mortuary Collection

All Critics (58) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (55) | Rotten (3)

[A] horror anthology that re-creates its influences with an impressively lush visual sensibility, considering its modest beginnings as a short film.

AV Club
Thoroughly grisly and mostly entertaining, The Mortuary Collection is a satisfying choice for the spooky season.

Roxana Hadadi

The problem plaguing 90 percent of horror anthologies is that there are rotten apples tossed in the basket. Not so with writer/director Ryan Spindell's delicious quartet.

Randy Myers
San Jose Mercury News
The Mortuary Collection is a delightfully crafted tribute to pulp horror.

Jeffrey Zhang
Strange Harbors
A collection of beautifully crafted tales of terror led by a ghoulishly entertaining Clancy Brown.

Here's a horror anthology that's aware of how horror anthologies work.

Jeffrey M. Anderson
Combustible Celluloid
The estimable Clancy Brown, gnarly practical effects, and over-cranked gothic art direction aren't enough to smooth out this cheesy, uneven anthology film.

Andrew Wyatt
The Lens
Ryan Spindell has lived in the world of horror for years and internalized its lessons. His direction is confident and assured, and along with keeping things moving at a brisk pace, he knows to tweak the tone to fit the story.

About Boulder
The Mortuary Collection comes at a great time with Halloween right around the corner and it's perfect for a great night of light spooks with a nice creepy edge.

Emilie Black
Cinema Crazed
The Mortuary Collection leans into the familiar a bit too often to be a stone-cold Halloween classic...

Steven Prokopy
Third Coast Review
As anthologies go, this is a remarkably solid entry with zero duds to speak of, which kicks off at a lively clip and ties everything up neatly with the requisite wink for good measure.

This stylish, confidently-made movie is perfect viewing for Halloween, or any time you want a jolt of clever horror.
