The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

'No-one could see what we have seen.'

Directed by André Øvredal

Starring: Emile Hirsch, Brian Cox

Released in the US: December 21st 2016

Concept

Two coronors, both father and son end up spending the night performing an autopsy on a young Jane Doe (for those who don't know a Jane/John Doe) is someone entirely unrecognised and unknown). As they perform the autopsy they find her to be medically impossible.

She has been clearly beaten and brutalised but no features of one show on the exterior of her body in cuts and bruises. Her eyes are clouded, meaning she has been dead for several days yet doesn't show it on the body.

That's where everything goes wrong, they try and uncover the truth. Who is this woman? What on earth happened to her and why are there strange occurrences?

 

Review

This film is somewhat of a mystery horror. It drags you through the plot and always keeps you guessing. It's dark, foreboding and original.

Kelly, who played the corpse is very knowledgeable of yoga, and could control her breathing, so it's not always a dummy on the table. Production of this film started in May 2015 in London.

It's a fantastic scare and creeps you the hell out, they throw in some character development too and it's a horror that terrifies you mercilessly. The Autopsy of Jane Doe certainly isn't one to miss.

Review
Watch this film in the dark with some popcorn it is creepy. As if the location of the plot isn't creepy enough there's enough jump scares and genuine suspense to terrify you. The suspense in this film is terrifying and you will feel goosebumps.

There's a lot of twists and turns in this film and it has a lot to offer. The director himself became enthrallled with Aokigahara Forest and even went to visit the area. 

The film was shot at Tara Mountain in Serbia because filming in Aokigahara Forest is not permitted by the Japanese government. The film came out to some controversy regarding the subject matter and disliked for not being 'scary enough'.

The film is creepy and if you already know about the suicide forest I urge you to watch this film.
