The plot of "Mortuary" goes like that:single mom played by Denise Crosby of "Pet Sematary" fame and her two children,a teenage son and young daughter move from Chicago to a small town.Crosby has just finished Embalming School and has leased a rundown old mortuary Fowler Brothers Funeral Home.Her son finds a job at a local diner and quickly learns the story of Bobby Fowler;a boy so hideous his parents kept his face covered with a 'death shroud'.In the early 60's,the Fowler parents are murdered and the boy missing and was presumed dead,but the myth is he's alive and living in the catacombs under the graveyard and funeral home.First of all I can't believe that Tobe Hooper,the man behind horrifying horror classic "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" directed this mess.The script is laughable,the comedy elements are stupid and unnecessary and finally there is no suspense.The minimal amount of blood doesn't help either."Mortuary" fails even as the parody of campy 80s horror.Avoid this crap like the plague.Sorry Tobe,try harder next time.
