Criminology student Chloe fakes her own death to break into a morgue, in order to retrieve a piece of evidence that ties her younger brother to a crime gone wrong. Once inside, she discovers that a sadistic coroner is using the corpses for his sick and twisted business, and when he realises that Chloe still has a pulse, a terrifying game of cat and mouse ensues.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A claustrophobic survival thriller trapped in a morgue with a predatory antagonist, where the stakes shift from uncovering evidence to simply staying alive. It's a high-pressure game of cat-and-mouse that trades on the inherent horror of being trapped among the dead.
