Framed by interviews with real life celebrities, Hollywood Mortuary tells the tale of a horror make-up artist who, in 1941 Hollywood, uses voodoo to resurrect two rival horror stars (thinly disguised versions of Karloff and Lugosi) from the dead to help revive his fading career.

The first must-see film of the year.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I was bored most of the movie but once the "Zombies" Go on a killing spree the movie becomes epic. For some reason its shot in black and white and it can be distracting especially when the first 2/3rds of this movie is talking. If you fast forward the movie to the last 20 minutes you wont miss anything important and you'll be able to see what makes this movie stand out as a "good bad" movie. The effects aren't great but they work with the story being told. The acting is funny, not because its bad but because the actors know this movie sucks so the just have a good time with it. Its worth a look if you like funny bad movies. Ron Ford Knows how to make a movie work even with a small budget.

Ron Ford and Randal Malone have done an excellent job of paying tribute to their filmic heroes of fright.Ray Biddle has done the world a great justice by contacting INDIE FLIX and setting them up as the re-release distributors,Fans can now actually buy 'HoMo' and not just boot-leg it from those awful VHS shorts and dreary Lindenmuth editions !But, No extras,Maybe when it hits Blu-ray we can get some interviews with Randal Malone,We Deitrick or Ron Ford.Still,Its good to see this rare film that is almost like a '90s 'Rocky Horror' Cult Following. http://www.indieflix.com/Films/HollywoodMortuary

Possible minor spoilers ahead......Hollywood Mortuary is actually a pretty good no-budget movie. Two dead horror film stars who hate each other are resurrected as Zombies by their make-up artist to revive the genre of horror films...classic! The story is quite original, the script is well written, and most of the actors did an admirable job in the movie. There are a few funny moments peppered throughout the movie.Most of the movie is in black & white, and I guess the movie was originally shot on video of some kind. The movie jumps from farcical present-day interviews back to the glory days of earlier Hollywood. Sometimes it jumps to color for a few seconds, especially in the interviews.There are some problems in the movie, such as in the flashbacks to the bygone days you often see objects that are modern. But, this movie obviously had a small to non-existent budget so it's not that big of a deal.Even with the problems in Hollywood Mortuary, it is enjoyable and unique. Better than most no-budget movies, watch it once if you have the chance.

Janos Blasko (Ron Ford) and Pratt Borokof (Tim Sullivan) are two feuding horror actors who take their battle beyond the grave in "Hollywood Mortuary". Aided by a psychotic, washed-up makeup-artist who dabbles in Brazillian Voodoo rituals on the side, the two deceased Terrors of Tinseltown are resurrected to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting populace. Ford and Sullivan just can't be beat here. The two have a very natural chemistry that really helps the volley of insults between them fly. As the makeup-artist gone bad, Randal Malone turns in an impressive performance. In truth, everything about this movie works. A lot of great one-liners are peppered throughout the script, as well as some really bad ones (delivered, ironically, by a stand-up comedian). Possibly the best low-budget horror-comedy ever made. Certainly the best I've seen. As others have stressed, I will affirm: Go out of your way to find this movie. You will NOT be disappointed !
