Set in small town Connecticut and limited almost exclusively to a haunted mortuary, The Mortuary Assistant has immersive chills in its bones and a framework brought vividly to life by Kipp and his small but mighty ensemble cast led by Willa Holland as Rebecca Owens, a recently certified mortician assigned to a night shift that turns into one hell of a demonic nightmare.

So, I suppose there's my first confession as I put into words my response to Fry's unexpected holiday delight "Eliam."
