Stênio works the night shift at a morgue in a very large, very violent city. On the job, he sees cadavers in every conceivable state, often the victims of horrific gang warfare. While most would be rather unsettled by it all, Stênio is not. For the dead speak to him. Not in any metaphorical sense but in a very literal way. Stênio was born with an occult gift and while not everyone would be at ease conversing with mutilated cadavers on slabs, he has learned that there are endless secrets that can be gleaned this way. Related to crime. To prosperity. One day he learns a terrible secret about people in his own life. He commits the sin of acting on knowledge obtained from the dead, cursing himself and those dearest to him in the process. (Fantasia International Film Festival)

O enredo não é mau - um tipo trabalha numa morgue e pode falar com cadáveres (que é infelizmente pouco usado) e depois é amaldiçoado porque revela o segredo do morto e faz com que o amante da sua mulher morra, mas ela também morre acidentalmente. O resto é um filme de terror desequilibrado, sem tensão, girando em torno de um esquema constantemente repetido, não vai a lado nenhum, e compensa a falta de ideias em vão com sustos disfuncionais.

A nice surprise from Brazil. The film has an original story about a pathologist who has the ability to talk to the dead, a rather disturbing and interesting topic in itself. There are detailed scenes with organs, brains and I simply love morgue settings. The story develops in unexpected directions, there are some interesting twists and turns and in the second half, the film becomes a regular ghost story so fans of hauntings and dissections will find something to enjoy. Despite its rather long running time I enjoyed the film and it's definitely worth a watch. 7/10.
