Set in Connecticut in 1998 and inspired by closed circuit footage of paranormal hauntings, we explore theuncomfortable yet alluring profession of embalming through the eyes of newly hired mortician Rebecca Owens as she slowly succumbs to possession from a demonic entity.

Building fear and tensions through ambiance and a less is more approach to horrific events, The Mortuary Assistant is a marriage of character exploration, the macabre, and uncomfortable paranormal horror.
