Mortuary

A killer in a cape, who could it possibly be?

Plot: A teenage girl witnesses her father's murder (via baseball bat to the skull), but no one seems to believe her, including her buxom mother. Meanwhile, her boyfriend and buddy break into a warehouse, owned by the mortuary boss who fired him to steel tyres to the same value of his missing wages. Big mistake, a fella in a black cape and some nice white and black make-up (bit like The Exorcist) stabs him through the stomach with an embalming implement (could this be a rather heavy handed clue to the killers identity?). Stalking, murders, dancing (it is the 80's) and a spate of sleepwalking follow, only for the girls' boyfriend to investigate and do what he and his 80's blonde, bouncy hair can do to save the day.

Budget: $250,000

Gross: $4,319,001

Look out for the worst, tapped-on ending ever.

Fun Fact: Co-starring Bill Paxton (surely his break through role), we are treated to some overly wide mouthed smiles (almost like the Joker) and a touch of mania. Nice.
