I was thoroughly scared by this film, it was enjoyable as it created actual mystery and scare rather than just the generic jump scare

I didn't know what to expect when I first started watching this. I had an inkling it would be admist the supernatural, but I didn't expect for it to be full on suspenseful horror/thriller.The film had a good premise and they started to work absolute wonders with it. But I do feel it started to peter out towards the end, unfortunately.The film's setting was the autopsy lab- that's it. I found this emersed you in the story even more, as you're not constantly swapping scenes; keeping your attention on the developing plot rather than the background. With this film it worked very well.The characters were minimal, which is best when it comes to suspeseful films- the less people there are on screen, the more unnerving it is for the viewer. I constantly found myself imaging myself in that situation: alone in a horror film- no thank you!The stories main focus is the autopsy of the Jane Doe (duh), which I found was the best part of the film. As they do the autopsy they find impossible things, and unexplainable things happen in the lab. The constant capture of the Jane Does face- eyes open, staring unblinkingly at the camera- everytime they discovered something, a light flickered, the radio tuned out to another channel, freaked me out! It was a superb way to unsettle the audience and to make them aware that she is no ordinary dead body that the forensic scientists are performing an autopsy on.The last half hour is where it was no longer scary, but rather predictable and anti-climatic. I can't delve into the details as it will spoil the ending for yourself.I do, despite the disappointing ending, recommend this film to anyone who loves a good suspense fuelled film, as the majority of the film was strong. It really puts you on edge. Makes your skin crawl, and plays on your mind.

If you like horror then you are missing out if you give this one a miss.At 84 minutes including credits I did not expect much, but this blew me away right from the opening and it had me on the edge of my seat basically all the way through.The acting is simply sublime. Brian Cox, a long time favourite and Emile Hirsch do a superb job of carrying this one off. They are amply helped by good cinematography, music and sets.While somewhat predictable in places it still gave me a few unexpected frights.Very well done to all involved and highly recommended.Well deserved 9/10 from me and horror is not really my thing.

It's about a father/son pair of surgeons who work at the morgue. Their latest dissection is a woman whose skin and muscles are smooth from the outside, but joints are broken inside. They discover more and more layers of her body throughout the surgery. The joints broken has no bruises or exit wounds. It was very good. It started out as a mystery and turned into a very scary supernatural horror movie. Suspenseful, smart and scary. Even it's most preposterous scenes (like her inner skin filled with codes and Roman numerals) were relevant because she was originally a witch that was tortured years ago and her spirit is trying to live again through harming others which helps keep her body more "alive". Very well done.
