The Mortuary Assistant (Shudder Original), a blood-curdling new possession horror film based on the critically acclaimed, best-selling videogame of the same name, is set to arrive on Blu-ray, DVD and digital on 20 July 2026, courtesy of Acorn Media International.
And to celebrate we have a copy on Blu-ray to give away!
The film follows Rebecca Owens (Willa Holland – The O.C., Arrow), a newly certified mortician with a troubled past. After being hired at River Fields Mortuary, she takes over the night shift, but what starts out as your run-of-the-mill embalming takes an unnerving turn, as the cold, clinical lights begin to flicker, bodies begin to move on their own and Rebecca realises she is not alone.
Things go from suspicious to outright sinister when she begins experiencing horror-fuelled hallucinations derived from her deepest fears and darkest secrets. As the visions start to put her and those around her in danger, she confides in her enigmatic mentor, Raymond Delver, who reveals that a demonic entity has latched onto the young assistant and is using the morgue as a bridge between the living and the dead.
With only one night to prevent the entity from completing its full possession, Rebecca must navigate a series of demonic rituals, unravel the truth behind Raymond’s shady secrets and confront her own buried traumas to survive until sunrise.
Intertwining trauma, gore and outstanding practical effects, join The Mortuary Assistant for a spine-chilling, against-the-clock fright fest, delivering ‘fun, creepy demonic horror’ (Ginger Nuts of Horror).
