MVD Entertainment Group has bestowed Marquee Collection
status on director Tobe Hooper’s 2005 haunted house horror tale, Mortuary.
The street date selected is May 14 and both DVD and
Blu-ray editions will be available.
Leslie Doyle (Denise Crosby — Ray
Donovan, Star Trek: The Next Generation) has
just lost her husband and need a clean break from the past; a fresh start to
heal old wounds. So she packs up her
two kids, Jonathan (Dan Byrd — Easy A, Sisters, The Hills Have Eyes) and
Jamie (Stephanie Patton — Deep Impact, For Heaven’s Sake) and
heads west after having bought the long-since closed Fowler Funeral Home.
It seems like a pretty good idea. After all, every town of any size needs a
mortuary and graveyard — yes, the Fowler property comes complete with a
graveyard. What she doesn’t know is
that the place is closed for a reason … it seems that Bobby Fowler (Price
Carson), the son of the owner, was a creepy, deformed little monster that
killed his slaughtered his parents and disappeared without a trace.
A rundown cemetary, a mortuary with dead bodies and a
creepy killer, that gives Mortuary all
the trappings of a haunted house thriller … which is what it lives up to. All that you need is a victim pool, which is
ready and willing in the form of the local teens, whom Jonathan befriends.
It seems that Bobby has been a busy monster,
tunneling under the graveyard, which secret entrances into the house.
He’s also infected with some horrible black goo that
revives the dead, and as we soon learn, infects the living with the same
result. Zombie-like creatures and poor
Leslie is a ground zero!
Bonus features included with this Marquee Collection
release of Mortuary on
May 14 are commentary by the late Tobe Hooper and the behind-the-scenes
featurette titled “Inside the Graveyard.”
