Our Review Editorial
Rebecca Owens takes a night shift at River Fields Mortuary because a mortuary science degree has to start somewhere, and for a while the job is exactly what it says: embalming, paperwork, keeping things tidy. That mundanity is the whole foundation — the fluorescent calm of a workplace where every colleague is on a table — before things take a dark turn. The tagline strips the pitch to two words worth of dread: alone with the dead.
Horror fans who like a single location and a slow ratchet will find the setup familiar in the best way, closer to a long shift than a chase. Ninety-one minutes keeps it contained, which suits a story that lives on isolation, routine broken at the wrong hour, and the growing sense that the building is not empty. Best watched late and alone, if you can manage it, when the quiet does half the work for the film.
