Martin went to work in the morgue the day before. The sound of blood vessels flowing in the morgue was quiet at night. When he took office, he was a strange old man with a pale face and a gloomy expression. The yin and yang paradoxical words "It's just you and 'them' here at night, go buy a radio and advise you." "You know why I quit? They didn't tell you the story here when they recruited you?" "Look at the corpse here. After a long time, you will have bad breath, and your temperament will change. If you don’t believe me, you smell it.” “Many Kanye Geng is crazy here. Many years ago, there was a Kan Ye Geng who had sex with 'them' and used the corpse as a boudoir." The alarm line in the room is to prevent the corpse from being resurrected, but it never rings, don't worry, if it rings, you will call the doctor on duty." "Although the knife and stick are useless, but... I'll leave it to you. Let's go." ...
Martin has a good friend Jens, who is empty and bold, and they are secretly playing the game of whoever is bolder, challenging each other's courage, and whoever loses will marry his current girlfriend.

During the meal, the 17-year-old prostitute Joe talked about the most perverted sexual experience.

Night came again, and the alarm in the morgue suddenly sounded. Martin called the doctor on duty and gathered up his courage to go to find out. The door of the morgue was open, and a corpse sat up slowly. It turns out that the corpse was played by Jens, a prank by a friend. The doctor on duty came and satirized Martin as best he could with a gloomy and indifferent face, followed by Inspector Vinm, a good-natured uncle. After comforting Martin, the detective left Martin with the contact information so that he could come to him at any time in case of need.

Following the blood trail, the body sat at the end of the corridor and watched him. , he ran away frantically and called the doctor. When the doctor came, the body was lying on the bed. The doctor suspected that Martin was mentally disordered. A few days later, the corpse of the prostitute in the morgue was raped. Martin couldn't explain what was going on as a night watcher. Unfortunately, Martin's semen sample was found in the corner of the morgue, and Martin was completely lost. , recalling his recent life carefully, all the evidence shows that someone is framing him, and the evidence points directly to his friend Jens. He thought of the gloomy and eerie doctor in the morgue and the night watch of his ex.
Martin's girlfriend found the little prostitute Joe's house and tried to find out something. When they arrived, there was a huge music playing in the house, but the door was not closed. When she went in, she found that the prostitute Joe had been brutally murdered on the bed, and the murderer was still in the bathroom. Putting her rubber hand on the doorknob, she hurriedly escaped from the house and returned home. She didn't know if she should call the police. After a while, the news of Joe's death was reported on TV. The police also came to arrest Martin, and his girlfriend asked why. Suspected to be Martin, the police said the prostitute wrote Martin's name on the pillow, and Martin's semen was found on the prostitute. The girlfriend got out of control and shouted: No way, there is no name on the pillow, I am at the scene, there is absolutely no name... Jens also rushed to point out the big loophole in the case, the prostitute always thought Martin's name was Jens, the secret was only between him and Martin knowledge. How could a prostitute write Martin's name? What the hell is going on in all this? Ghost or Murderer? Or is there a more unknown secret? The plot is here, and friends who want to see it go to uncover the mystery.
The score of this Danish horror movie on imdb is as high as 8 points, which is enough to prove its strength. The film has a tight rhythm and a lot of suspense. Although there are almost no scenes that face the fear directly, the overall horror effect is great. The long shot follows Martin through the twists and turns. The morgue is enough to challenge people's endurance, because no one can guarantee when the corpses will come back to life. There are still some loopholes after careful scrutiny by the screenwriter, but the overall framework is exquisite and perfect. Just 3 years later, Hollywood remade it again, and the starring was replaced by Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting star), and it is worth mentioning that the remake is also good.
