WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT MORGUE STORY.
“This Brazilian bad-taste comedy is ingenious enough to please as a farcical
Grand Guignol for sophisticated horror fans. Future looks bright for niche
smallscreen sales, and for Filho in general.”
Dennis Harvey, Variety
“Morgue Story is a taut, clever and grisly horror comedy with an Evil Dead II-like
dual sense of calamity and humor that leaves nothing off the, uh, slab. (…) you
find yourself reacting with equal measures of laughter and revulsion to the fairly
graphic scenes of necrophilia. Everything is shot in grey, green and sepia tones,
the washed-out institutional colors perfectly underscoring the essences of death,
depravity and sickness. This is the only film I saw in the whole festival where the
crowd immediately erupted in enthusiastic and unanimous applause at the
conclusion. That tells me the world needs more necrophiliac comedies—or at
least this one.”
William Berger, WFMU Radio - San Francisco, USA

“MORGUE STORY is a Brazilian comedy that’s both deranged and finely crafted.
(…) wacky and well-written (…) MORGUE STORY is a phenomenal low budget
film that pays hilarious homage to 1980’s horror flicks. The humor is served rare
—dripping, in fact—and the dialogue is potential cult classic material. See this
once and you’ll demand a second viewing to gather the quotes.”
- Mike Skurko - Another Hole in The Head
“The play was good, but the movie is even better. Director Paulo Biscaia Filho
and the Vigor Mortis troupe produced the missing oeuvre in Brazilian film history:
a pop movie, like those appreciated by Quentin Tarantino fans, by fans of world
indie movies and by fans of dark humor with a bit of trash movie charm”. -
- Rodrigo Juste Duarte, Folha de Londrina
“WOW! This is a serious weirdo (in the best possible way!) of a fantastic
roller coaster ride from Brazil I believe. It's like watching a graphic
novel of the best horror pop culture explode in your face! This one kept us
guessing and had us on the edge of our seats with excitement. South America
is friggen GREAT!!!”
- Zompire - The Undead Film Festival
"For the humour, nice screenplay, narrative rhythm and contribution to the living
dead genre.” - Jury of the IV Montevideo Fantastico justification for the Special
Mention at the festival.
