Very best movie i ever watch

Pretty Good

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I gotta start off by saying, we only paid 1 single American dollar, and I have to admit, I should have tried to haggle them down to letting me just take the movie, bring it home, ritualistically sacrifice a goat and exorcise the stupid out of it. Watching a movie such as this is like watching the death throws of a yak with cerebral palsy. The movie has a random Jedi in it that decides to kill himself rather than try to get anyone to go to the dark side. The other characters are laughably stupid, oblivious to the obviously bad/stereotypical scenario that they are thrust into. The soundtrack sounded as if it was made for a Zombies Ate My Neighbors port for the Gameboy, as all it did was make you want to curl up in a ball and fill your ears with the lard of an adolescent raccoon to attempt to cancel out the sound. The directing and editing were equally bad, making one wonder as to how any sane person can say the movie is finished and ready to be viewed by people other than villagers from Zimbabwe who can't understand that what they are watching on this magical box of light is complete and utter lion crap. I wish now that I could go back in time if not to stop myself from renting it, than to at least stab out my eyes with a soldering iron and remove my eardrums through my anus. God bless you if you made it through this movie without trying to choke yourself to death with the DVD case, I wish I had. Please, for the sake of your children and their children, don't watch this movie. We can't let this make any of it's money back, lest we may unwittingly green light a sequel. I'm serious, don't...

Good story, great camera work and photography, not compromising acting (good to see Heather Donahue back on the screen. She rocks!), awesome twists, good directing, music helps to set the mood, good editing, so so art work, couple flaws in the script, fabulous location (wow! Where the hell is that???? I'd live there...kidding), very moody and artistic. The title and the freaky art work must attract into the torture and slasher fright type. If you're looking for blood and exposed human organs, forget it. This is a transcendental film with a peculiar symbolism to DEATH (oops, I think I've spoiled). I'ts not on the same level of others in the genre (such as Dark Water) simply due to the visible, but not badly spent, very low budget.

As a Brazilian, I must be very proud of having fellow citizens directing a movie in the USA, specially when they do a good job. We only hear about mainstream names such as Walter Salles and Fernando Meirelles, and finding out that other Brazilian directors are breaking successfully through the very competitive film industry in the United States, makes us curious and anxious about what they're doing. Such a relieve!!!!!! The Morgue is very well conducted, and the storyline, in spite of movies such as The Six Sense and The Others were previously made, is very original in its way. The movie will be released as well in Brasil (mid September), by Universal Picutres. I'm a spiritualist, and this is one of the reasons that made me enjoy and give more credibility to the film. The Morgue respect the dead ones by not portraying them as stereotyped scary ghosts. Congratulations fellows. I'll totally recommend it in the video store I work for. Have my full 10 by competence, not patriotism!

Six people, including a family with a broken-down car and a couple blood-covered guys, become trapped in a church morgue. As the night progresses, secrets about the group are revealed and a black-clad murderer begins to attack the group in mortician-like ways.I'll be honest: I only even attempted to watch this for Bill Cobbs. He's a great actor and my respect for him made me take a chance on this one. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. This film is just about the definition of 'below average.' While it was nice to see Cobbs and (a surprise to me) Heather Donahue of The Blair Witch Project fame on screen, it was NOT nice to see how low they've sunk. The rest of the cast ranged from subpar to just plain bad. The story was unoriginal and oddly executed. Also, predictability, something that annoys me more than most errors in film, barely begins to describe it. You know it's bad when the 'twist' is pretty obvious no more than 5-10 minutes into the film. The direction was apt as far as the general look of the film, I suppose, but the editing was awful. . . the quick flash cuts and overlapping background dialogue just grated on my nerves by the end. The plot turns could be seen from Mars, and the dialogue was stiff and unrealistic, resulting in an even worse performance from a cast that bad enough to begin with. The film had a lot of problems, but it was watchable enough, I guess, to warrant a viewing if the plot and/or cast interests you.Final verdict: 3.5/10.-AP3-
