Starting off with a girl asking for a job in an old funeral home The Mortuary Collection is a horror anthology consisting of 5 loosly connected stories told by the mortuary owner to his potential new assistant. One is about a thief getting eaten by a monster at a house party, another is about a womanizing playboy getting the tables turned on him when he gets impregnated by a girl because he refused to use protection. The third is about a man who decides to end his ill wife's suffering (and his own) by poisoning her but everything that can go wrong does so and in a spectacular manner. The fourth story is a serial killer/babysitter trope turned on its head and the final story takes place throughout the film and is about the mortuary owner and the assistant who isn't at all what she seems.
In short this is a very good blend of horror and humor with very competent acting all around especially by Clancy Brown who really does well as the creepy mortuary owner Mortimer Dark. The rest of the cast is not that well known but do a great job.
The stories are written and directed well and the effects are competent for the most part other then a few glaring cgi moments which couldn't be avoided. This is highly recommended for horror fans and just in time for Halloween.
