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.

Fans of the game may get something out of it but to anyone not already familiar with it, watching somebody playing The Mortuary Assistant is probably more rewarding than sitting through the movie.

3/5

Ironically, for a film which based on a video game, it feels like it’s really leaning into arthouse film territory. If you have the patience, then you’ll certainly be rewarded for watching.

It doesn’t feel strong enough to stand on its own two feet...it seems like it wants to lean so much more into the graphic violence than any real cohesive semblance of story.

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.
