Based on the hit horror game of the same name, The Mortuary Assistant movie is coming to theaters on Friday, February 13th. Produced by Epic Pictures, via its horror division, DREAD, the sister company of indie horror game publisher DreadXP, as well as Cole Payne’s Traverse Media, and Jacob P. Heineke, the adaptation stays true to the game, focusing on Rebecca Owens (played by Willa Holland), a newly certified mortician at her new job at the River Fields Mortuary. As in the game, over the course of the movie, her night shift turns nightmarish as she uncovers demonic rituals and the dark past of her employer, Raymond Delver (played by Paul Sparks), and is faced with her own unresolved trauma. Co-written by Tracee Beebe and Brian Clarke, the creator of The Mortuary Assistant game, the adaptation aims to bring the game’s story to life, allowing horror film fans to experience the suspense, secrets, and unforgettable scares the game is known for.
The Mortuary Assistant is available now on PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. The movie adaptation will be airing in select theatres on Friday, February 13th, and will stream on Shudder starting March 27th.
