'The Mortuary Assistant' Gets Toe Tagged with New Poster Ahead of Shudder Debut - Bloody Disgusting

Based on the hit horror video game, The Mortuary Assistant will stream exclusively on Shudder beginning March 27. Check out the new poster below, where you can also watch the trailer and a fresh clip. Willa Holland (“Arrow”) stars as newly certified mortician Rebecca Owens, who accepts a night shift at a mortuary, embalming bodies alone after hours. As disturbing events escalate, Rebecca uncovers demonic rituals, the dark secrets of her enigmatic mentor, and her own buried trauma — racing to survive the night before her body becomes a vessel for possession. Paul Sparks (“Boardwalk Empire”) also stars with John Adams (Hellbender), Keena Ferguson, and Mark Steger (“Stranger Things”) as The Mimic. Jeremiah Kipp (Slapface) directs from a script by The Mortuary Assistant creator Brian Clarke and Tracee Beebe.  Patrick Ewald’s Epic Pictures produces via Dread alongside Cole Payne’s Traverse Media and Jacob P. Heineke. Executive producers include Clarke, Katie Page, Yulissa Morales, Randy Sinquefield, Patrick Fischer, and Oliver Garboe. Meagan Navarro wrote in her review, “That’s the primary expectation of The Mortuary Assistant: translating the scares to screen. Instead, lore takes tedious precedence in an adaptation unable to generate fear.” Originally released on PC in 2022, The Mortuary Assistant quickly became a viral sensation and made its way to Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. The film expands on the game’s world, delving deeper into the lore of the demonic entities plaguing River Fields.
