Description:
It's sick. It's sexy, it's MORTUARY ACADEMY and it's not for the squeamish! A bawdy black comedy with a campy all-star cast, MORTUARY ACADEMY stars heartthrob Christopher Atkins (The Blue Lagoon) with Paul Bartel and Mary Woronov (the unforgettable stars of the cult classic Eating Raoul) in a sexy spoof of the mortuary business. Forced, along with his brother Sam, to graduate from the Mortuary Academy in order to inherit his late uncle's $2 million estate, shy Max Grimm encounters the hilarious horrors of life after death. But when they learn that the corrupt Dr. Prescott (Bartel) has bled the once-lucrative school dry, the brothers Grimm enlist the help of their colorful classmates to resurrect a dead rock band and save the school. An outrageous mix of sexy sight-gags and campy humor makes MORTUARY ACADEMY the killer comedy of the year.

Rating:  - Spectacularly silly
A spectacularly silly movie by Paul Bartell and Mary Woronov, the crown couple of the b movie. Just wonderful!
Rating:  - Ah...Career Choices
I ofen picture the Christopher Atkins of today sitting at his local Starbucks, watching all the young professionals pass him by unrecognized.
He must wonder at his fallen star. He had limited talent, but he was engaging and energetic and was capable of serious work. He just made the wrong choices early on. Or was guided in the wrong direction by his handlers. We'll never know. But we will bear witness to the choices that tanked his career beyond repair. This is one of them. I would rather ... Read More

If the boys fail to pass the administration will retain control of the estate.

Rating:  - "Mortuary Academy: The Original "Six Feet Under"
I am partial to this dark, dry comedy, fashioned somewhat as Eating Raoul Part Two" meets the classic 60's pic "The Loved Ones." Considering it's ocassionally tasteless gags, the film received excellent reviews on it's screening at the 89 Cannes Film Festival. With the death of many of it's stars -- Cesar Romero, Wolfman Jack, Paul Bartel, and several supporting actors, there is a certain air of surreal aloofness to the characters. I actually have a cameo in the movie as an ambulance attendent during an ... Read More
Rating: - Put the fun in funeral with this flick
I bought this film since I am a former mortician, and I'm always dying for funny funeral home comedies. Brothers Sam Grimm (Christopher Atkins)& Max Grimm (Perry Lang), inherit a combination mortuary & mortuary school from their recently deceased uncle which is worth millions. Only catch is, they have to graduate from the school before they can collect on their inheritance, and there's many an obstacle on their way to graduation. The film pokes fiendish fun at the funeral industry, touching on ... Read More
