Critics Consensus

The Mortuary Assistant squanders its chilling premise in a scare-starved story that buries the game's atmosphere beneath bloated lore and a muddled narrative.

2/4

Rebecca’s battle against the forces of evil isn’t so much all for naught as it is boringly routine. Holland deserves better. For that matter, so does the audience.

Lore takes tedious precedence in an adaptation unable to generate fear.

Kipp’s film probably should have stayed a computer game.

1.5/5

The Mortuary Assistant is desperately in need of a script doctor who understands the necessity of crafting a video game adaptation into a cogent narrative, because, as it stands, the only cardinal sin Kipp's film embraces is reveling in a void..

Holland does an impressive job of keeping viewers on her side despite becoming an unreliable narrator.

The acting and visual atmosphere are strong enough in "The Mortuary Assistant" to stick with it, but just barely. The narrative structure choices are puzzling

Never played the game but I hope it’s better than its movie counterpart. Not a scare to be found and the acting is hilariously bad at times.

Acting was ok, visually fine but it felt like it drug on, choppy story and the pieces didn’t seem to fit smoothly. Had far higher hopes for this game adaptation.
