From director André Øvredal (Trollhunter) comes one of the best horror movies of 2016, The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

Execution is superb, from directing, editing, cam… read the rest.

**The one corpse no coroner want to mess with!**
And this is something different. Actually, no films are different these days, but it has succeeded to shape differently with an already known platform. Except the small parts of the opening and the ending, the rest of the story takes place in a postmortem room and its building. It is a one night story and revolves around two characters, a coroner father and his assistant son. After receiving an …

In a house containing a slaughtered family, a nude female half buried in the basement is discovered. Then things get really strange when the autopsy begins. A completely original atmospheric piece that totally creeped me out ...which isn't easy to do anymore. The slow but progressive series of unnerving events without any real explanation as to what's happening until practically the end was well done and left me wondering, "What could p…

Creepy, with great buildup
This is a grand horror-movie with a good buildup, tension, jump-scares and people acting not-like-complete-fools when faced with the terror haunting them.
I always found this movie creepy and entertaining, and happily recommend it to anyone who does not mind to get a bit messy with their horror. It is a solid watch.
