Mortuary Academy

About This Movie

So, 'Mortuary Academy' is this wild 1988 comedy that feels like a low-budget love letter to 'Police Academy', but with a morbid twist. Picture a bunch of misfit nerds stumbling into a mortician school run by a shady, necrophiliac administrator—yeah, it’s as bizarre as it sounds. The pacing is all over the place, which actually adds to its charm; the hijinks escalate like a runaway train. The practical effects are a bit of a mixed bag, but they have their moments, especially in the comedic gore department. The performances are delightfully awkward, which fits the theme of incompetence. It’s definitely a unique piece from the late '80s, capturing that strange blend of humor and horror that was kind of in vogue at the time.
