Autopsy of Jane Doe - André Øvredal - 2016


★★★★- I am doing the Nightmare on Film Street 31 Days of Halloween Horror Challenge. October 1 was “first time watch.” Got my list squared away. Most are actually first time watches. 

Started off the month with a good one. Total bear bones horror hat manages to be legit scary. Could’ve been a play as Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch (both of them give pretty great performances) barely leave the autopsy room. 

The duo play a father and son team of coroners. They have to conduct a mysterious autopsy and determine cause of death when the body of a young woman shows up at a gruesome murder scene. As they conduct their work, supernatural shenanigans start going down and things go cray, as they do. Ending is weak and a total bummer but everything up to the last 10 minutes is fantastic. Also a movie that kills the cat. Will always make me like your movie less. 

If anyone else is interested, I am linking to the site which also has an explanation:   https://nofspodcast.com/horrorchallenge
