“Some things are worse than death.”
Directed by Patrick Lussier
The premise
Criminology student Chloe fakes her own death to break into a morgue, in order to retrieve a piece of evidence that ties her younger brother to a crime gone wrong. Once inside, she discovers that a sadistic coroner is using the corpses for his sick and twisted business, and when he realises that Chloe still has a pulse, a terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues.
Horror Vault's take
When criminology student Chloe stages her own death to sneak into a city morgue, she expects a quick in-and-out retrieval of evidence that could protect her brother. What she finds instead is a coroner with deeply sinister secrets and no intention of letting a living witness walk out. Trapped among the dead in a confined and hostile environment, Chloe must rely on her wits to survive a nightmare she never anticipated. This lean, claustrophobic thriller keeps the pressure relentlessly high from the moment the doors lock behind her.
