MORTUARY (DVD) rare slasher with Bill Paxton in early role

Getting back to some horror this week.  It is surprising this one hasn't had an official release considering how big a star Bill Paxton has become.  The trailer below is pretty funny because it has nothing to do with the movie and stars our favorite freakazoid Michael Berryman who doesn't even appear in the film............



MORTUARY (1983)

     A young girl suffers from sleepwalking and terrifying nightmares ever since her father supposedly drowned in the family swimming pool. She knows his death was not an accident, but no one will believe her until her boyfriend sees the hooded figures she described in her dreams in the town's mortuary.

     When she learns that her mother is a member of the cult taking part in black magic rituals at the mortuary, she begins to distrust everyone in her life. Is her mother trying to drive her crazy or is there a more sinister figure responsible for the recent murders? It is up to her boyfriend to save her before she ends up on the slab.

     This entertaining slasher stars real-life husband and wife Lynda Day George (Pieces, Young Warriors) and Christopher George (Enter the Ninja, City of the Living Dead), but most notably has Bill Paxton giving an early over-the-top performance as a young, crazy mortician. The horror elements are nicely balanced with a few nuggets of delightfully droll black humor and the sunny locales are a refreshing change for the genre.
