ShangLuda
Admirable film.

Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I saw this movie on a rented DVD in 2009. As a fan of the After Dark Horrorfest aka Eight Films to Die For, i was excited to view this. Was surprised to see known faces such as Robert LaSardo, Michael Bowen n Robert Patrick. The lead actress Jessica Lowndes was gorgeous. The movie starts very slow. It does take time to build up the mood n atmosphere. Once the action starts then it doesn't disappoint. The director Adam Gierasch (Night of the demons remake, Fractured, Fertile ground, Tales of Halloween) succeeded in creating a very atmospheric n surrealistic film. Honestly it did look like a bad nightmare. The set up of the creepy hospital with creepy staff in the middle of nowhere. The night did seem long. The acting was decent. The screenplay was good. Cinematography was good. There is plenty of gore n bloody killings. The last 40 mins is full of tension, mayhem n suspense.

"Autopsy" was apart of the After Dark Horror Fest 3 which was a collection of eight movies released in 2009. Keeping with my current theme of movies featuring insane doctors and medical madness, "Autopsy" fits the bill with mixed results. With an extremely simplistic plot and generic characters, all the movie has to offer is shock value. Most of it is pretty creative and gross but still unable to support any sort of story.A group of college kids are partying at Mardi Gras having a fun time, but when they get back on the road to wherever they're going next they accidentally hit a man in a hospital gown who comes running out of the woods. A few moments of panicked arguing and finding out their cell phones can't get any reception an ambulance shows up out of nowhere. Hesitant at first but the paramedics take the kids back to an eerily empty Mercy Hospital to get checked out. An older nurse runs the show up front as Dr. Benway takes care of thing behind closed doors.In typical horror movie fashion they are quickly split up, some just wander off to explore the dark and spooky building, while others are taken by the orderly to be fodder for the doctors experiments. Emily is the girl we follow the most and will undoubtedly be the final girl who will have to fight for her life against the doctor and other crazies. When things start to go bad Emily is able to call for help and a lone police officer shows up. Its no surprise that he doesn't last more than a few scenes before he is taken out. The character of Dr. Benway is pretty weak and uninspired for being the main bad guy. He is not scary, threatening, or all that interesting. He has a very thin and clichéd back story and most it leads up to a few shocking gore filled scenes at the end. The gore and effects as I have said are pretty good, but this is a strictly by the numbers horror film that will drift off into obscurity. One final note for those interested the film was scored by Joseph Bishara, who has most recently done the two "Insidious" movies.

I didn't thank it was the worst horror film I have ever seen however I have seen better ones. I have even seen better b-horror films. The gore was pretty decent and there were some scenes which were pretty creepy. The acting wasn't terrible. For the most part it was pretty good. I just have one question if anyone could help me. At the very end when the girl is stitching up her face and says to the doctor - You're right, I should be a doctor (whatever it was), and then you see the doctor, burned face and all, wake up and grab a very sharp instrument, it just ends there. ???? What should we assume? Did he get up and kill her at that point or not? I am totally confused. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Autopsy exists primarily to provide gory scenes. From the opening several people manage to crash into some random guy. An ambulance shows up despite not being called but everyone is in shock. Unsurprisingly, nobody notices. They're in shock. Gory films don't usually interest me but at least this one achieved some shock value.Therefore everyone arrives at the hospital where insane paramedics, doctors and such try to experiment on their newfound victims or murder victims.Naturally the story doesn't matter because it's only setup for gory stuff that comes later. The kids are only there to be victims.However, although I consider "Event Horizon" and "Hostel" unmemorable, and "Hostel 2" groan-inducingly stupid, Autopsy actually managed to shock me during at least once.
