gridoon2018 "Pathology" goes where most American mainstream thrillers fear to tread. It is thoroughly distasteful, edgy and politically incorrect; it is also extremely well-crafted, with effective story twists, and pulls you in. The director, Marc Schölermann, gives us an ominous, sinister New York, though much of the film was shot in Los Angeles! Milo Ventimiglia successfully breaks out of his relatively clean Peter Petrelli / "Heroes" image and gets his hands dirty, while Lauren Lee Smith is one of the most dangerously exciting women I've seen in any film lately. It's a pretty awesome trip - but not for the easily offended. *** out of 4.

LeonLouisRicci This Modern Horror has the Distinction and the Challenge of Having the Major Characters All Medical Doctors. These M.D.'s are Interning in Pathology, Focusing on the Cause of Crimes Working Backwards.So the Script and the Dialog Cannot Rely on Clichéd Stupid Teenagers who Talk Like Valley Girls, Jocks, and Nerds. So the Banter Here Can Be Somewhat Interesting. The Plot is a Take on the Insensitivity or Detachment that Doctors Must Adopt to Keep Them Focused and Successful.Medical School Pranks are Common and Cadavers are Often Used for Some Well Intended Humor. But Of Course, Our "Heros" are Not Playing. They Have Gone Insane. Some More than Others, but All are by Any Measure Bonkers. "You've lost it." says One to Another. Well, Yea. They All Lost it in the First Act.This is Above Average in the Horror-Gore Genre, but it isn't Filmed with a Lot of Style. Worth a Watch for Fanboys and Hounds and Might Even Appeal to Someone Looking for a bit of Intelligent Speak Not Usually Found in this Type of Blood Bath.

BeastlyMite6547 I'm laid up ill in bed and watched this movie. TWICE. I particularly enjoyed the ending!Whilst many have complained about the wooden acting and charmless characters, I found that I was captivated by the horrific idea that this behaviour could take place at a medical school near me! All 3 main hospitals near me are teaching hospitals and we've had a disturbing number of proved, malpractice stories in the health and social care field in the UK. Therefore the basic premise is not too far-fetched to be credible.The sex scenes were not as disturbing to me watching in 2014 as they might have been if I was younger or less experienced. There were only two, brief Dexter-like sub-plots where the victim's previous behaviour led to their selection for murder. There were no cheap amoral 'tricks' of snuffing out the lives of the very young, very old or euthanasia. I heartily recommend this film. Currently my favourite! horror/murder.

Woodyanders Brilliant young medical student Ted Grey (a solid and engaging performance by Milo Ventimiglia) joins the pathology department at a major big city hospital so he can realize his full potential. Ted finds his life and morals turned upside down when he becomes involved with an elite group of decadent individuals led by the cocky and evil Jake Gallo (splendidly played with wicked aplomb by Michael Weston) who concoct various diabolically crafty ways to commit perfect murders and get away with them. Director Marc Scholermann, working from a grimly absorbing script by Brian Taylor and Mark Neveldine, offers a genuinely startling exploration of the darkest aspects of the human psyche and man's frightening capacity for shocking extreme brutality and depravity. Moreover, Scholermann relates the compelling story at a constant snappy pace, does an ace job of creating and sustaining an unnerving morbid atmosphere, makes fine use of the often cold and dimly lit locations, and delivers oodles of unflinching graphic gore as well as a sizable amount of hot'n'kinky sex. The sound acting by the capable cast keeps the movie humming: Ventimiglia and Weston both do sturdy work in the leads, with excellent support from Lauren Lee Smith as the sultry, cunning, and duplicitous Juliette Bath, Johnny Whitworth as the smooth Jimmy Cavanaugh, John de Lancie as the no-nonsense Dr. Quentin Morris, Alyssa Milano as Ted's sweet fiancé Gwen Williamson, and Keir O'Donnell as affable wimp Ben Stravinsky. Larry Drake pops up in a small part as a scuzzy victim. The absence of any humor and the overall chilling tone both greatly enhance the picture's considerable unsettling impact. Ekkehart Pollack's glossy cinematography gives the picture an impressive stylish look. The brooding score by Johannes Kobilke and Robb Williamson does the moody trick. A nice'n'nasty surprise.
