The Autopsy Of Jane Doe (2016)

The corpse of an unidentified woman (Olwen Catherine Kelly) is discovered in the cellar of a house where there was an apparent multiple homicide. When her body is brought to a small town father (Brian Cox) and son (Emile Hirsch) coroner team, what should have been an ordinary autopsy turns into a night of horror. Directed by Andre Ovredal, this is a tight and intense horror film that restricts most of its story to one set (the morgue) and with only two characters (Cox and Hirsch) at its center. There are a couple of minor characters but the father and son are at the forefront. The film walks a fine tightrope between exploitation surgical porn (the autopsy is extremely graphic) and a moody horror piece. Even at its relatively brief running time (86 minutes), the film can't sustain its unsettling macabre and morbid structure and the ending is a major letdown. Still, with all its faults, it's a strong piece of minor horror cinema. With Ophelia Lovibond and Michael McElhatton.
