A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

This is one of those movies I knew I'd seen before, then forgotten what happened.On this rewatch, I realized why. The movie is mostly slow-paced, and borderline boring. Overall, the concept and atmosphere were OK. The main actors work with their material, but for the most part, I didn't feel connected to the characters or the story. The reactions, in many scenes, were tame for the ongoing action. There is plenty of humor and realistic interaction to help identify with the characters, but overall, I felt it was too low-key.The basic story: 4 medical students are given a cadaver to dissect and work with. The one girl of the group senses something wrong with the body. She's left to be the worrywart as her partners work around her heebie-jeebies. People start disrespecting the body & wind up dead. A simple off-color remark, poking & prodding, or mysterious slight - they die.The story itself is muddled. I will have forgotten the ending again in short time, as it was anticlimactic. There was real potential to make this a mood-driven creepy horror movie, but it didn't quite get there.

8 Movies to die for. Sadly I have seen several movies from them and just don't understand the hype. I have seen better on late night TV.Medical students are learning anatomy and doing an autopsy. They have gotten the wrong corpse, she has a vendetta and doesn't care who she gets revenge on.One of the students decides to investigate and researches the back story of the corpse. It's like an episode of Scooby Doo but with a cadaver.Basically, it's not a very good movie and if I had paid to see it in a theater instead of at home, I would have been angry I wasted money to see this.

The film features medical students in gross anatomy lab at the beginning of medical school. There are obvious flaws, as a first year very few people refer to you as "doctor," but the most glaring flaws were in the main point of the movie - the cadaver. Real medical school cadavers are older, have been given to the school specifically for that purpose (and are NOT shipped across state lines) and rarely resemble real people as much as those in this movie. But its a horror movie, so I will grant them the poetic license. A medical student who revives her unconscious friend after drowning by slapping his face is difficult to believe, as is a person who dies in a pool of blood from a aortic rupture (what I'm assuming is what the fiancée died from since it was explained as "one of the vessels from her heart burst). Additionally, I doubt any medical school in the country keeps vats of formalin around big enough to hold multiple bodies. And certainly no one would go swimming around in there - the smell off a body alone is enough to make your eyes water and sting. But overall, not a bad movie, the plot is a bit of a stretch but it's worth watching once.

If you watched this and felt it needed "more" you could try watching the original German film called "Anatomie." It's subtitled, yeah, but a bit better acting. Includes Franke Portente in the leading lady role. This film follows Anatomie almost to the letter, but the acting is simply not as good IMHO.I agree w/a few other comments about calling medical students Doctor and the concept of Aztec curses from Brazil.It wasn't a bad way to spend a sleepless late night, but I still prefer the German version.I highly recommend the German release (from 2000 I think) even with subtitles. Although I never checked the DVD to find out if I could play the DVD w/a voice over.
