2/5
EDIT
“The Mortuary Assistant's scares are few and far between as sluggish pacing threatens to derail the hellish mystery that drives the narrative. Thankfully, a strong lead performance from Willa Holland saves the film.” –

EDIT
“The Super Mario Galaxy Movie will power up the global box office in a vibrant sequel with amazing CGI action scenes. It's all fan service with an admittedly flimsy plot, but that's okay, the eye candy is totally worth the price of admission.” –
