Critics Consensus

The Mortuary Assistant squanders its chilling premise in a scare-starved story that buries the game's atmosphere beneath bloated lore and a muddled narrative.

2/5

The Mortuary Assistant lacks the light to contrast with the shadows: Rebecca and Raymond are both dark, tormented, oblique characters, occupying dark, tormented, stylised worlds, and there’s very little light to balance it out.

Rebecca’s battle against the forces of evil isn’t so much all for naught as it is boringly routine. Holland deserves better. For that matter, so does the audience.

Lore takes tedious precedence in an adaptation unable to generate fear.

2/5

The Mortuary Assistant's 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 saves the film.

Competent video game adaptation balancing a few too many moving parts.

Kipp’s film probably should have stayed a computer game.

Never played the game but I hope it’s better than its movie counterpart. Not a scare to be found and the acting is hilariously bad at times.

Acting was ok, visually fine but it felt like it drug on, choppy story and the pieces didn’t seem to fit smoothly. Had far higher hopes for this game adaptation.
