paulclaassen None of the bizarre events are explained and one can only assume Jane Doe is a demon. Graphic and well-made, but too little information, and riddled with too many of the usual cliches for this type of film. I did not find it scary at all.
adam-may-bower 'The Autopsy of Jane Doe' is a chilling and suspenseful film, but falls short of being great due to it's tasteless climax. Director André Øvredal uses his limited setting well and creates a great claustrophobic feeling that immerses it's audience into the mystery of the film. The two leading actors both portray their characters well, and have a great father-son chemistry that helps bring the story alive. While the first half is very compelling and suspenseful, the film loses it's audience when the cliches start rolling in. While Øvredal had great potential with the original plot line he never really reached greatness. He set up the viewers for a plot twist that was rather unsatisfying. Then, predictable cliches and cheap jump scares were added in to make it worse. However, despite my negativity on the last half of this film, overall it was still quite good. The suspenseful first half was definitely unsettling and the mystery was very intriguing. It was made very well, with great directing on Øverdal's part. Had the ending to this movie went a little further, then this would have been one hell of a horror movie.
Emilio Gelado Horror, but horror really. there are no easy scares or an oppressive soundtrack, only an autopsy and a father with his son. André Øvredal gives us a magnificent piece of modern horror that he had not seen for years. The first half of the film is based solely on the creation of the atmosphere that will accompany us throughout the film. Claustrophobic, cold and lonely. The horror is based on not knowing, it does not show us evil, we have to intuit it and that causes greater helplessness. The BSO, the script and above all the direction and editing are outstanding, both for a film of this genre and for the rest. In short, an essential movie for lovers of the genre and highly recommended for all the people.
LouAbbott The reviewers giving this film less than six stars wouldn't know a good movie if someone (or thing) snuck up and pinched them on the posterior. Don't let them convince you this is a bad movie. "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is a combination thriller-mystery-suspense-supernatural wonder. One never knows what to expect next. The ending leaves open the possibility of a sequel. I sincerely hope there is no sequel. It is a virtual impossibility a sequel could live up to this film.
