The Mortuary Collection

The Mortuary Collection centres on Sam, a young woman who arrives at a funeral parlour in the strange town of Raven's End and asks about a job. The place is run by Montgomery Dark, an eccentric undertaker with a taste for the macabre, who claims that every corpse has a story worth telling. At Sam's urging he recounts a series of grim tales drawn from the town's past, spanning several decades. As the stories pile up, Sam discovers that the last of them concerns her directly.

The film is Ryan Spindell's feature debut as director and writer, an anthology-style horror fantasy built around a frame narrative, with Clancy Brown as the undertaker and Caitlin Custer as Sam. The cast also includes Sarah Hay, Mike C. Nelson, Jacob Elordi and Barak Hardley, among a credited cast of 32; the production involved 41 credited crew members. It was produced by T. Justin Ross, Allison Friedman and Todd Breau through AMP, Trapdoor Pictures, Mountain Path Entertainment and Alliance Media Partners, and runs 108 minutes.

Released in September 2020, the film met with a warmer response from critics than from general audiences: it holds a critics' rating of 7.7/10 from 65 reviews, while audiences rated it 6.4/10 on IMDb from around 16,000 votes and 6.7/10 on TMDB from roughly 495 votes.
