User Reviews
GoreHound69 – 8/10
“This one hit me hard. It's not your typical jump-scare horror; it's the kind of real-life terror that stays with you. The embalming scenes are graphic and unrelenting, but it's the human story that really gets under your skin. I had to look away a few times, but I couldn't stop watching.”
CreepyFanatic – 6/10
“I appreciate what this documentary was trying to do, and it's definitely disturbing, but for me, it lost some momentum in the middle. It felt a bit repetitive at times. Still, the subject matter is undeniably haunting, and Orozco himself is a fascinating, tragic figure. Worth a watch if you have the stomach.”
ScaryMovieQueen – 5/10
“I went in expecting more of a traditional horror movie, but this is straight-up reality, which is way scarier. The atmosphere is bleak and oppressive, but the pacing was a bit slow for my taste. It's a tough watch, and not something I'd easily recommend, but I respect its raw honesty.”
NightTerror – 7/10
“This documentary is a gut punch. It's so raw and unfiltered that you feel like you're right there in the morgue with Orozco. The social commentary is subtle but powerful—it's about how death is treated in a place where life is cheap. It's not perfect, but it's an experience I won't forget.”
