Having a bad day at the office? Hey, at least you’re not being attacked by gross demonic entities from hell.
With the big screen adaptation of The Mortuary Assistant set to arrive in theaters next month, the first trailer is here to remind us all that sometimes works sucks, but all you can do is power through to the end of your shift and hope tomorrow is better.
The Mortuary Assistant was something of a surprise hit in 2022: A game that puts players in the shoes of a fresh-out-of-college apprentice mortician who’s called into work late one night to handle some unexpected embalmings. But this, it turns out, is not a normal day at the office. Your boss had the good sense to stay home, but you are not alone: Before long you’re not only preparing the deceased for their funerals, you’re also conducting occult rituals to ward off demonic forces. Talk about multi-tasking!
I suppose it’s inevitable at this point, three years after the release of the game, but the trailer for the film adaptation of The Mortuary Assistant doesn’t land quite as well for me as the game did.
