GamerTab That was an excellent one.
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
louis-70189 I was thoroughly scared by this film, it was enjoyable as it created actual mystery and scare rather than just the generic jump scare
BA_Harrison Father and son coroners, Tommy and Austin Tilden (Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch), attempt to find the cause of death of an unidentified woman found half buried in the basement at the scene of a multiple homicide. As they delve deeper and deeper, they discover a series of bizarre clues that point to a bone-chilling conclusion.In a genre saturated with mediocre movies, supernatural horror The Autopsy of Jane Doe stands out as a superbly crafted creepfest that delivers nerve-jangling shivers, while providing enough graphic gruesomeness for those who enjoy more visceral thrills.The film starts out as a fascinating study of a rather revolting vocation, as Tommy and Austin systematically dissect the 'Jane Doe' looking for answers, with director André Øvredal lovingly capturing every sloppy detail of the process. Things start to get seriously creepy once the pair start to reveal the truth about the woman's past, all the evidence pointing to the unthinkable, the action ultimately entering the realms of the fantastic.Øvredal expertly cranks up the suspense, using his shadowy morgue setting to great effect, gradually introducing more and more unsettling elements guaranteed to leave the viewer with sweaty palms and on the edge of their seat (there's something about a reanimated corpse with its eyes and mouth sewn shut that really gets the heart a-pounding, although its the simple sound of a ringing bell that generates maximum tension).Best watched alone at night with the lights out and the doors open, The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a good old-fashioned scary horror that rarely puts a foot wrong, and in these days, that's something to be celebrated.
jfgfny I thought this was going to be a crime drama, but turned out to give me the best "willies" I've had in ages. The seemingly average, everyday mortuary business(if that's even possible) is a gentle lead in...as expected, the funeral home is dark, but as the storm builds and the autopsy unwinds the uncomfortable twinge morphs into increasing fear. The stunningly beautiful, flawless corpse revealing her secrets with nary a move - wow!
Emilio Gelado Horror, but horror really. there are no easy scares or an oppressive soundtrack, only an autopsy and a father with his son. André Øvredal gives us a magnificent piece of modern horror that he had not seen for years. The first half of the film is based solely on the creation of the atmosphere that will accompany us throughout the film. Claustrophobic, cold and lonely. The horror is based on not knowing, it does not show us evil, we have to intuit it and that causes greater helplessness. The BSO, the script and above all the direction and editing are outstanding, both for a film of this genre and for the rest. In short, an essential movie for lovers of the genre and highly recommended for all the people.
