Autopsy (2009)

So much average

Sick Product of a Sick System

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

I rented this, because it did sound interesting. Now I am a classic horror fan, I love those movies like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Black Christmas, E.T.C.. I also realize my video store doesn't carry those great films, only the horror films of today, I have seen some classics, surprise. I also rented it because of Janette Goldstein( Aliens) and Robert Patrick(T2). I do like films about psycho doctor's and that's why I picked it up. I found this film with a lot of plot holes; and of course medical inaccuracy. We start out with friends having a great time in New Orleans, having one hell of a time on Spring Break . They are filming each other and enjoying their time. The movie then cuts and we find they have been in a serious crash, with a tree on a deserted Louisiana road. They find out they ran over this patient who is still alive. An ambulance quickly arrives and takes the patient and them to a hospital for treatment. Little to the kids know that this is not a functioning hospital. They soon find out they walk into a trap, the hospital has been closed for some time, and it's a hide out for a doctor who is conducting experiments on innocent people. He uses their bodies to conduct a new experiment trying to save his wife from Cancer. This is not a movie for those who cringe at the sight of blood and gore. It is your typical new age horror film , lacking on plot, if you like blood and gore- go for it. This movie, could have been at least a 7, if it wasn't for the blood/gore; and some of the ridiculous scenes. I felt they went way overboard on gore especially the ending where she finds her boyfriend. I mean get real, who is going to believe that S**T. I probably made this movie sound good, but it is far from your old school horror films.

1. This film is epic. Autopsy starts off as the usual stereotypical film, college students get drunk, party etc. They are driving, car crashes into something. Ambulance shows up, takes them to an abandoned hospital... Most of the film is just the survivors running around trying to escape the mad 'evil' doctor and the 70's looking nurse. There is a bit of humour when the police show up.. Police get shot - no hero there. Then we get to an amazing twist. *****spoiler alert*****.The evil doctor is killing and using the students body organs, spinal fluid etc to save his wife - awh cute! Then there's a little extra at the end. This film, is probably our favourite film yet - and we have watched a lot. The twist, ending and whole plot was immense. The fact that most of the actors are unknown is even better, as you get to know them better. If you haven't watch this, but are thinking about it.... What are you waiting for?? Get it! :)

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.

Adam Gierasch isn't unknown for me, I just have seen his latest effort Fertile Ground and liked it and in fact I have seen so many flicks directed by him, Night Of The Demons, Mortuary,...And some of them I loved some I hated because they didn't deliver on the horror part. But luckily this one does deliver.The story itself is as usual, some friends having an accident and are being picked up roughly by an ambulance. They are taken to an abandoned hospital with a sick doctor. From there on it goes badly wrong for the friends. The acting is okay and believable. But the main lead Jessica Lowndes did already appear in a Masters Of Horror (Dance Of The Dead) and did another horror, The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) but for the moment she's in the 90210 series. And didn't I recognise Robert Patrick from Terminator 2? Well, they all know their job and did well.Although some stupid things going on that are unbelievable like the scene were Emily is trying to catch a cell phone without being seen is ridiculous. And there are some other parts like that (the cutting of an arm) but it's the amount of red stuff and even some gory scene's that makes it watchable. But you keep watching until the end to know what is going to happen, surely one to autopsy.Gore 3/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5
