Movies like The Mortuary Assistant

“The Mortuary Assistant (2026) is a 2020s American psychological-horror that frames institutional procedure as its primary concern. The film stages a close conflict between a novice mortician's isolation and an escalating corporeal mystery, rendered in high-contrast chiaroscuro and tight axial frames. The formal rigor answers a need to examine professional intimacy with death through controlled framing and procedural sound, making the film a disciplined study of labor, atmosphere, and unease.”
