Who’s directing The Mortuary Assistant Movie?
Per Deadline’s article on the movie, Jeremiah Kipp (Diabolical, Grave Mysteries, Slapface), is set to direct the movie working from his own script.When speaking about his plans for the movie, Kipp said:“There’s a quiet, unnerving intensity to The Mortuary Assistant that creeps into the player, creating a sense that something terrible could happen at any moment,”
“Writing the adaptation, I wanted to celebrate all of the game that terrified me as well as create a companion piece to it — honoring the dense creepy world developer Brian Clarke (DarkStone Digital) made and translating it into the visual storytelling and character driven horror of narrative filmmaking.”
Kipp would then go on to elaborate further by saying:“I want to retain the minimalist setting in and around the mortuary, the fascination with the process of embalming, and the nerve shredding terror of the gameplay. Rebecca Owens is a fascinating character, vulnerable because of a traumatic past and committed in her self-reliance. It has been a truly crazy ride living in Brian’s twisted world, and that’s the experience we want to give the viewer.”
Does The Mortuary Assistant movie have a release date yet?
As the movie has only just been announced, there is currently no official release date. Although, depending on when the movie begins shooting, it’s possible that it could release in late 2023, or early 2024.
