After a harrowing accident, the perpetually down-on-his-luck Diego Martinez accepts a gig as a security guard at the local 'Morgue." He thought he'd had a lucky break, but as the night wears on, eerie occurrences and the suddenly not-quite lifeless body of the victim leave him to wonder how much otherworldly rage does it take to wake the dead. (Gary Reber)

Special features include upfront previews and the trailer.

The 2.39:1 1080p AVC picture, reviewed on a Sony Bravia Z9D 4K Ultra HD HDR display, upconverted to 2160p with greater resolution and luminance, was photographed digitally and sourced from a 2K Master Digital Intermediate format. Picture quality is inconsistent throughout with at times degraded imagery. Much of the movie is set in darkness with detail lacking. Some moments exhibit vivid reds and purples, but overall this is a mediocre visual experience. (Gary Reber)

The DTS-HD Master Audio™ 5.1-channel soundtrack features both Spanish and Paraguayan Guaraní spoken elements. The sound design is very weak, though, there are moments of loud bursts of sound effects and .1 LFE extension. At times, atmospherics provide satisfying envelopment. Overall, this is a low-budget mediocre soundtrack. (Gary Reber)
