alistairc_2000 I always feel there are two Tobe hooper's out there. The one who made TCM, Lifeforce, Toolbox murders and Poltergeist all of which are superb and the one who made Night Terrors, The mangler, Spontanious combustion and Invaders from Mars (the remake) all of which stink. So which director turned up to make this movie? Unfortunately it is the latter one. Tobe did not write this inept pile of dross and that is the only thing he has in his favour. The plot. A woman buys a funeral home but finds it is on deadly ground as something nasty is living below it. The plot of this one makes Eaten Alive seem like logical. The deadly ground is alive and produces spores that turn people into zombies like the ones in return of the living dead. Noting much happens for the first forty minutes but then we are treated to a couple of people turning into crap zombies. Then the mother who bought the place turns into one and serves up spore soup. The it is time to escape from the zombies... snore... Comment. This movie is a feeble waste of space effort. The plot is terrible, the acting is terrible and the effects are so so. There is the curse of the poor mans digital effects here as well. This is one of those movies that you think will never end. There is no nudity, and very little gore. This replaces children of the living dead and Dead of the Dead Contagium as one of the worst zombie movies ever made. 0/10

BaronBl00d Okay, this film is pretty awful to be sure and it has flaws that are soon too hard to disguise, so I will begin with what I liked about it. The setting of that creepy house and those mortuary rooms, and the cemetery all helped create an effectively eerie atmosphere. The first half of the film is very suspenseful and even well-acted through most of this part. Tobe Hooper, falling to a nadir in terms of talent and money to work with it seems to me, does inject some taut situations - an errant hand here in a shadow and things like that. Then all hell breaks loose - so to speak - and this film quickly degenerates into something sophomoric and seemingly incompetently made. Just take a look at the final scene where a zombie fungus and its minions chase the remaining family through the house. It looks like some of the actresses there are taking direction whilst on camera! The acting turns real bad unfortunately, and this movie becomes a joke midway through. The film had promise. Some of the acting leads have talent. Denise Crosby plays the mother and is good and credible..until...yes, the second half of the film. The story is the biggest problem I would guess as it seems to have no direction midway and everything follows suit. Hooper is better than this and though it seems like ages since he made a real good horror film, I am generally a fan of his work. He can create some of the most disturbing scenes with less on screen than most of his contemporaries. Mortuary has some promise, some genuinely scary moments, and a whole lot of inept acting, direction, and storytelling.

Mike B. Finally Tobe is back to his roots AND he is back to get even! I think this is a good movie 'cause if you like Tobe's earlier work you will love this. He is back where it all began for him, and he is doing gooood!I've got the same feeling for this movie as I got from seeing "Texas chainsaw..." and thats a long wait I think. Hopefully he will keep on doing movies like this one 'cause i wanna feel that again and again. The feeling that the 80's slasher/zombie genre is not dead and hopefully it will grow stronger.Hope more movies like this one is going to be made in the future. I'll watch them anyway (with a big smile on my lips :-) ).He's BAAAACK!!

tobyhoop I really can't find any other word for this one, but excellent. This is a great entertaining movie, great comedy. A rare case when computer graphics special effects perfectly suit a low budget movie. With this movie Tobe Hooper really showed his talent to shoot a comedy. I really found some scenes just classical. I will quote Menahem Golan. "Money could not dictate". That's right. It's all about the creativity. Well, this movie is the one that has enough even to borrow.Nice job mister Hooper. GREAT, A+Highly entertaining.
