The Morgue is a 2008 American horror film released direct-to-DVD. It was directed by Halder Gomes and Gerson Sanginitto and written by Najla Ann-Doori and Andrew Pletcher. The story follows Margo Dey, a college student who works nights in a morgue to pay her tuition. Her only living companion is George, the grieving night watchman. As the nights unfold, other characters, including a frightened girl named Jill, become part of the tense story. The film stars Heather Donahue in her final screen role before retirement.

The Morgue aims for psychological suspense rather than gore. Critics had mixed reactions: Fangoria said the directors focused on suspense but found the plot predictable, while Dread Central called it cheap fun and somewhat better than expected, though forgettable. The runtime is 84 minutes. It was distributed by Reef Pictures, with Lionsgate handling the DVD release.
