While working in the night shift in an isolated morgue alone with the night watchman George (Bill Cobbs), the janitor Margo (Lisa Crilley) is interrupted by Peter (Chris Devlin), his wife Nan (Heather Donahue) and their young daughter Jill (Taylor Lipman) that has run out of gas on the road. Suddenly the strangers Jacob (Brandon Quinn) and his wounded friend Samim (Sammy Sheik) break into the house asking for a telephone. Margo gives attention to the strangers and they are unexpectedly attacked by the ghost of a former worker that committed suicide. The stranded group fights to survive and Margo discovers the truth about the weird night.I love horror movies and I had great expectations with "The Morgue". Unfortunately I found a terrible movie with a messy screenplay; a boring story; noisy and annoying soundtrack and edition; and some bad acting. The story is confused, with an awful development and a predictable twist and a great disappointment in the end. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): "Cadáveres 2" ("Cadavers 2")

"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.

Wow! Finally a supernatural film where alive people don't see dead people! The Morgue is a different film, with a different pace, and, why not to say, strangely interesting. The final twists totally got me on and paid off! Yes, the storyline could be confusing at some points before the "climax", however, every little missing detail were surprisingly tied up in the end. One of the things I really enjoyed was the co-existence of both worlds, "alive ones" and "dead ones", sharing the same places, and, for my surprise, our "world" causing interferences on theirs, and not the other way around! I humbly have to admit that the twists totally fooled me...in a great way. The acting oscillates a bit once in while, but nothing that pulled me off the story. I totally recommend it, but don't expect great scares or cats jumping on the screen.

This could have been a fine horror movie... of course if films like The Sixth Sense or The Others had not been released years before. The ending can be easily anticipated if one has watched the above mentioned films (approximately by the middle of the film). The resource of using the ghost's point of view at the time of departure has become almost a cliché. Also the character named Horace does not fit very well in the story. The most terrifying scene is the one where a shadow of a microphone appears behind the actors in the front yard. I put a 4 instead of a 3 because the little girl character also dies in the film. I must confess they fooled me there.
