The Mortuary Collection

Directed by Ryan Spindell1h 48m2020

In the phantasmagorical town of Raven's End, a misguided young girl takes refuge in a decrepit old mortuary. The eccentric undertaker chronicles the strange history of the town through a series of twisted tales, each more terrifying than the last, but the young girl's world is unhinged when she discovers that the final story... is her own.

Our read: The Mortuary Collection (2020) reads as a sombre, kinetic, surreal fantasy · horror entry — extreme in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
