The premise
A law student takes a job as a night watchman at a morgue and begins to discover clues that implicate him as the suspect in a series of murders.
Horror Vault's take
When a cash-strapped law student lands a night watchman shift at the local morgue, what seems like easy money quickly becomes a waking nightmare. A serial killer is leaving a bloody trail through the city, and the evidence keeps pointing in one deeply uncomfortable direction — straight at him. Ewan McGregor anchors this stylish American remake with a performance that keeps you guessing about just how reliable a narrator he really is. Claustrophobic morgue corridors and a creeping dread of the dead make this one of the more atmospheric thrillers of the late 1990s.
