But satisfaction brought it back. _Final rating:★★★½ - I strongly recommend you make the time._
**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 unidentified body to examine, the son decides to stay back with his dad by dropping out the plan to go a date with his girlfriend. As the procedure begins, the night goes on. But at the half way through, they begin to experience the strange events. And once it goes beyond their hands, they try to survive the threads that come their way which pretty much the rest of the film. A short and sweet horror. I mean no sweet, but very effective theme. There are lots of things you won't understand, even the film does not explain them for us. But if you sit back and think about them after you have watched it, you would get many perspectives, like about the corpse, and what happened at the end. I could have revealed mine in here, but it would only spoil your watch if you are yet to see it. Overall, there's nothing serious you are going to miss any details. Except one question that nobody sure about is who is/was Jane Doe, I mean her background story that linked to this film event. Only a prequel would explain that. So I hope they make one quickly. Meantime, don't miss it if you're looking for a decent horror film. Because it's much better that any recent horrors. _7/10_
The eerie and compelling first act promises much more than The Autopsy of Jane Doe ultimately delivers. The Autopsy of Jane Doe starts strong with a mysterious corpse and two coroners who find themselves in greater danger with each clue they uncover to the death of this disturbing body. The first half of the film is fantastic. The tension builds with each passing second. Every new bit of information the characters discover cranks up the anxiety and horror. As the answers become more apparent and more terrifying, so does the fate of the coroners. But once the terror finally begins, the film falls flat. Nothing really happens. Mostly a lot of panic and implied danger, but not a lot is actually shown. What is shown is slightly below average for the typical supernatural horror film. I don’t feel like I wasted my time with this movie, but the excellence of the first half made the mediocrity of the second half much more disappointing.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe presents an intriguing concept with eerie visuals and strong atmospheric tension, but its execution lacks depth and emotional impact. While the mystery builds well, inconsistencies in plot details and underdeveloped characters lessen its overall effectiveness. The film still offers a chilling experience, especially for fans of medical horror, though it misses the opportunity to fully realize its supernatural potential.

81/100 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 possibly happen next"? Good stuff!! -- DrNostromo.com
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.
