Autopsy (2008) User Reviews

Gore, Bizarre and Insane

[claudio_carvalho · 6/10 · 16 February 2012]

In Louisiana, while driving on the State Route 53, Emily (Jessica Lowndes) has a car accident. Her boyfriend Bobby (Ross Kohn) and their friends Clare (Ashley Schneider), Dmitriy (Arcady Golubovich) and Jude (Ross McCall) find that she had hit a stranger. When they see an ambulance on the road, they ask for help and the attendants Travis (Michael Bowen) and Scott (Robert LaSardo) bring them to the Mercy Hospital.

In the reception, the nurse Marian (Jenette Goldstein) realizes that Bobby is seriously wounded and sends him to the surgery room. When Emily tries to get information about her boyfriend, she meets Dr. David Benway (Robert Patrick) that tells her the Bobby is all right. But sooner Emily unravels a dark secret about Dr. Benway and his team.

"Autopsy" is a gore, bizarre and insane horror film that uses the clichés of a group of youngsters that has a car accident and end in a creepy hospital. The special effects and make-up are top-notch and the weird story has many ups and downs. When Emily finds her boyfriend in the hospital in the end of the story, the scene is insane. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Autópsia" ("Autopsy")

Redeemed itself in the second half

[gregsrants · 6/10 · 16 September 2010]

Maybe the worst thing a horror film can do to a fan is bore the hell out of them. But that is exactly what Autopsy did to me and my fellow viewers during a recent screening.

Autopsy, an entry in the After Dark Films series, begins with a group of students awaiting an ambulance after a car crash that has left a stranger dead under the vehicle. The students are taken to mercy Hospital which is run a small group of staff headed by Dr. David Benway (Terminator 2's Robert Patrick).

Easily separated while awaiting minor treatment, the young stars (which include Jessica Lowndes, Ashley Schneider and Ross Kohn) soon find out that their health and safety is anything but assured while contained within the halls of the hospital.

The first half of Autopsy was boring, predictable and lacking in any enjoyment whatsoever. Director Adam Gierasch brought nothing truly original to the screen and a contagious yawn could be heard throughout my screening group.

But about half way through the film, it was as if Gierasch finally got it. He went from trying to establish mood and worthwhile characters to just having fun with the genre. There are more than a few wink wink nod nod type scenes in the second half that catapult Autopsy from a boring, meandering mess to a fairly watchable and at times enjoyable horror film. When you reach a fleeing female victim gets punched in the face by a sadistic intern, you know you have it the killerreviews turning point and that things will be more fanciful for the remainder of the film.

The gore is definitely there. There is a scene with a naked man spewing his guts onto an ever-fighting female and the scene where we see a male victim with his guts hanging on strings and slings outside of his body was top rate.

Autopsy then gets a mild recommendation based solely on the final 40 minutes. Robert Patrick is always a treat to watch and he is in full bad guy mode here (think Dr. Giggles except without the giggles). You won't care which of the young characters live or die or if any of them make it out alive for that matter. Maybe that's what made the second half so much fun. Once you stop thinking it a horror film and enjoy it as a black comedy with blood and body parts, the film takes flight.

Strange Movie

[dschmeding · 5/10 · 22 March 2009]

"Autopsy" is a really strange movie that takes pretty obvious elements from other movies but still manages to have some identify. The movie starts with some bad clichés, like a car full of kids having a crash and standing around the scene like in "I know what you did last summer", but then the movie turns and they get taken to a creepy hospital with some strange docs and nurses where they get counted down in a "Crazy doc needs living patients in sick experiments to keep is beloved wife alive" plot. The movie is carried from the strange suspense of an abandoned hospital with crazy lit endless floors (the visuals are pretty different from your average horror/slasher movie) and the crazy hospital staff that mixes utter weirdness with black humor and some rather disturbing elements. Its often hard to tell if "Autopsy" takes itself serious because it stumbles from comedic strangeness to extreme violence and grossness in a second. Scenes like the head bashing remind of Irreversible in their rawness and there was really times I wonder "WTF was that supposed to mean" up to the strange ending. To keep it short... "Autopsy" has many things going for it in the shock and visual department as well in strange characters. Problem is that these elements appear very disjointed in the plot and are pretty much leading nowhere. The movie is often described as a comedy which made me expect something like "Brain Dead" but where "Braindead" clearly doesn't take itself serious "Autopsy" comes across dead serious more often than it makes you smile (and you won't smile if your humor is not pitch-black, believe me), so don't expect a comedy here.

Bland and disappointing

[Sabalon · 3/10 · 6 May 2009]

For some reason I was really looking forward to this movie - the description, the poster, something just made it good. And I may be a bit harsh because I felt let down. It had some good parts, and gore if you like that.

The plot, pretty basic, reminded me of Night of the Dead: Leben Tod for the most part. It is pretty straight-forward and predictable, and I think about 3 good jump scenes. I was worried at first with the Mardi Gras footage that it was going to be another "handheld" style, but that was just for the credits thankfully.

A couple of rewrites could have made this work a lot better. The main problem is you really don't care. You don't care about the kids, you don't care why the bad guys are doing anything - there is just nothing. Robert Patrick's Doctor could have had some real depth to him if they tried. The nurse is so stereotypical it's not worth it. The lead actress did deliver a good scene, but that was an exception to the script.

All in all, it had some memorable moments for those into the Saw/Hostel style gore, but mostly it was forgettable.

Autospy revealed major plot holes!

[thomyorkeradio · 3/10 · 27 April 2009]

Are you kidding? I like horror movies and this one is probably one of the worst I've ever seen.

Robert Patrick et Robert Lasardo are good actors and cult for me (Robert Patrick as the T1000 and Robert Lasardo as Escobar Gallardo in the series Nip Tuck), the cast was probably OK, but there is a complete lack of coherence in the script. It looks like a bad TV movie.

We can clearly see that all the cast is lost as they don't really act well. even Robert Patrick is desperately static and doesn't seem to enjoy playing his part.

There are major plot holes every five minutes. For example, Emily (played by Jessica Lowndes) got a hole in the head, managed to escape from the scrub, and we won't told about that ever. she doesn't seem to feel pain when she runs nowhere in the hospital. who cares?

Dr. David Benway (Robert Patrick) talks about patients as host. For what. You'll never know.

The cop comes to check the hospital, theoretically closed 3 years ago, but it doesn't bother him.

Emily lets the nurse lock her in a room, we can hear the sound of the lock, and after that she's trying to open that door, and looks surprised. Well we're not!

All these people are completely dumb, it's a classic in horror movies but honestly, don't tell me it's a must see...

Pretty entertaining

[Red_Identity · 26 July 2012]

This isn't a masterpiece of horror of course, but for what it was, still very entertaining. Of course, when it comes to trash the only trash in genre that I can see is horror films, just because there's always something to be enjoyed. But as it is the film wasn't as trashy as I expected, and was actually damn effective. The gory scenes are pretty well-done and some of them truly horrifying. There are some effective jump scares as well, mostly due to the editing and music. There is a scene in the end that is truly a sight to behold, one involving the lead and her boyfriend that made it all even more worth it. As a huge horror fan, I do recommend this.

High on gore, pretty weak on the script and acting at places

[suvendu_giri2004 · 5/10 · 27 March 2009]

The movie indeed delivered more than it promised but i was not very impressed, except for the gore. Even with a pretty weak story line and some pretty bad acting, the movie still had some solid tense moments.

There are some gross inaccuracies in the portrayal which steal much of the charm of the movie. During the lumbar puncture, the doctor withdraws way too much CSF, that could cause brain stem herniation and instant death. Over that, the color of the CSF if clear and not bright yellow shown in the movie. For the sake of building up suspense, the hospital has been shown to be completely deserted and still the guys in the movie don't grow suspicious over it. I was really surprised at the callousness of the police officer following the 911 call to he hospital... he seemed to be in a terrible haste to go! the concept of the organs being suspended out of the body and acting as a life support system for another person is truly astonishing except that it is outright impossible the way it was portrayed in the movie! Other than gross medical inaccuracies, there are moments of extremely poor acting and direction.

On the whole, i would give the movie 5/10 for the gore factor. Other than that, its a pretty much copy-book style movie.

Effective enough

[BakuryuuTyranno · 7/10 · 16 April 2011]

Autopsy exists primarily to provide gory scenes. From the opening several people manage to crash into some random guy. An ambulance shows up despite not being called but everyone is in shock. Unsurprisingly, nobody notices. They're in shock. Gory films don't usually interest me but at least this one achieved some shock value.

Therefore everyone arrives at the hospital where insane paramedics, doctors and such try to experiment on their newfound victims or murder victims.

Naturally the story doesn't matter because it's only setup for gory stuff that comes later. The kids are only there to be victims.

However, although I consider "Event Horizon" and "Hostel" unmemorable, and "Hostel 2" groan-inducingly stupid, Autopsy actually managed to shock me during at least once.

Gross, Boring, String of clichés

[doogiegonegood · 2/10 · 29 May 2009]

This movie is getting a 2/10 just because the lead is nice looking.

What to say about this movie... -It's not a real serious, or truly terrifying movie -It's not a funny, enjoyable B-movie either.

-It is a string of innocuous, retarded, and text-book cliché scenes we've all seen a thousand times. The characters are so stupid you don't even care about them.

-The lead walks around with vomit on her chest and tank-top for the latter quarter of the movie.

-This was the first time I felt bad for the actors who had to stand and participate in these scenes, they were actually pretty good.

A gory, though predictable, hospital slasher

[Shattered_Wake · 6/10 · 23 March 2009]

After a brutal car accident takes the life of a runaway surgery patient, a group of friends on their way back from Mardi Gras are taken to the ironically named Mercy Hospital to treat their injuries. When Emily (Jessica Lowndes of '90210') goes searching the near-empty hospital for her boyfriend Bobby (Ross Kohn), she begins to discover some sinister secrets that will threaten the lives of her and her friends.

For last year's After Dark Horrorfest, I started out with the abysmal 'Nightmare Man' (*shudder*), so it wasn't very difficult to start this year's collection out better. I decided to go alphabetically so 'Autopsy' came first for me. Luckily, 'Autopsy' fits right in with the majority of the other 8 Films to Die For of years past: Nothing new, special, or overly shocking, but still pretty entertaining. On the technical side, first-time director Adam Gierarsch manages to utilize the creepy hospital well, though he should've taken some more control over the editing as the MTV-style fast cuts by Andrew Cohen were annoying and took out a lot of the suspenseful mood that was created. The acting is adequate from a collection of mostly newbies and Robert Patrick ('Terminator 2'), who isn't in the film nearly enough. There's some good gross-out gore, which is something most horror fans have been waiting for from the After Dark films since the beginning and have only rarely received. The script, penned by veteran team Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson ('Mother of Tears,' 'The Toolbox Murders') with E.L. Katz, was okay. It flowed well and its regular bits of humour made for an enjoyable watch, but it was transparently predictable from the start and loses points in that. Overall, the film's nothing great, but in the ranks of the After Dark Horrorfest, it fits well. Fans of films like 'Madhouse' and 'Unrest' will especially enjoy this one.

Final Verdict: 6.5/10

-AP3-

Do yourselves a favor, do not watch this. Waste of your time.

[dluquer · 1/10 · 6 November 2009]

In my humble opinion, horror movies are amongst the tougher ones to make. Avoiding the clichés and keeping the audience on the edge is really hard. This movie is among the worse in its genre. Not because of the actors, some of which quite well known, although a few of them could have tried a little harder. Mainly because of the appalling script and the miserable direction. Totally (and I mean it) ridiculous. I have not jolted once and I could very much tell what the next scene was going to be through the movie. Soon I simply could not wait for the film to come to an end. So I could do something more useful than waste my time watching this.

If you know what you're entering, then you'll have loads of fun

[marais-alexander · 8/10 · 2 January 2014]

I watched this on a Thursday night when there was nothing else good to pick from. It seemed like a good, gory, old-school slasher with a pinch of Coma interspersed with all the mayhem. Don't even expect anything close to Oscar nominations, but if you are in the mood for some disturbing fun this is for you. Robert Patrick is wonderful as the sadistic surgeon. Everyone else delivers slightly disjointed performances - heroes become victims in a heartbeat and vice versa - so it's far from believable. It feels like an inspired Dario Argento rip off really, but gore is the driving force. Character development is last on the list. The deaths are disturbing, however. It's not for the faint of heart. But for those who can stomach some old school gore, disturbing eccentricity, and have fun with B-movies check it out. Definitely not my top pick, but enjoyable enough. I'll give it an 8.

A relatively good horror flick

[JasonUsher · 6/10 · 9 June 2009]

This is a movie with good gore, a good plot, good acting, and a good ending. The only thing bad about it is the ending was sorta predictable in my mind. There were parts that were unbelievable. But that's to be expected with the horror genre. Robert Patrick plays a good villain, could be better but overall good. Jessica Lowndes was pretty good as the leader of the movie but again could be better. Robert LaSardo was definitely the best actor in the movie. I do not have a single complaint with his part in the movie. Jennette Goldstein would be a creepy nurse in real life but it seemed that in the movie she was overacting just a little. All that being said it was a good (not great) Horror Flick.

If you like watching bad films and laugh then this is it

[Miss_Xray · 1/10 · 28 March 2013]

As seen from a point of view that this should be a horror thriller i must say .. 1 star? If you watch it for what it is .. " a bad horror film that is so bad its funny" then it might have its moments. I have to agree a lot with the review that thomyorkeradio wrote. Emily calls the cops. One shows up with no weapon drawn.. totally believes the psycho doctor even though the hospital have been closed for years.. wtf =S. Emily doesn't try to run even though the psycho doesn't even have a gun or anything to threaten her with. Then if so .. why even run in the first place? Stupid police thinks " yes lets go check out dead bodies on my own without back up". Emily chops nurses arm off .. meat and bone. We all know how easy it is to chop off a bone. Yes.. riiiight. Not like you need a saw or any. Emilys boyfriend think something is wrong but he are not quite sure what. Made me actually laugh. Emily managed to get up , stand up straight and have the strength to bash someones head in after getting her head drilled. Managed to run around perfectly fine.

When Emily and her drugged up male friend finds female friend with just a half of her scull left and practically dead.... Instead of "shit we are next lets run and hide and be quiet" they covers her with a sheet (??) Not suspicious at all right? Tries then to run and be quiet? No.. Slams doors and doesn't even try to be remotely quiet. This is illogical on so many levels i wonder if its suppose to be funny. The only smart thing I noticed was when Emily put the phone on the floor for the guy to find when it was ringing but then of course doesn't look where she is going...

Oh yes and a hospital with no people? Seems odd? nooooo of course not ... I don't think any hospital in the world is that empty. But for these people they don't suspect a thing?

This film is NOT trying to be a realistic horror,but just a gory one with lots of stupid things

You've got to be kidding me

[whitehotjazz · 1/10 · 27 December 2009]

I logged onto IMDb after having the misfortune of burning two hours of my one and only life on this tepid pile of cinematic feces. Except using the term "cinematic" in any context regarding this film is an insult to cinema. What a waste. I expected uniform revulsion from other IMDb users, but I am dismayed at the number of positive reviews here. Has the Saw franchise and Reality TV really pulled down the bar this far? And I actually like horror movies- even stupid ones. But I don't believe that anyone involved with this crap was in on the joke. I felt such pity for Patrick and Goldstein being associated with this worthless endeavour. Don't waste your time horror fans. Autopsy is a zero.

Ever wonder just how dumb some of the characters in schlocky horror films really are?

[oneguyrambling · 4/10 · 25 April 2011]

First let me set the scene: After a night of drunken partying in N'Awlins some horny, stoned, drunk teens – 5 in all – head home. Unfortunately they crash on the way home, and for some insanely inexplicable reason actually end up on the body of a man dressed in hospital patient attire.

Now let's do a quick questionnaire!

Why? Did no-one say "that's a little odd!"? Especially when literally 30 seconds later an ambulance screams around the corner, picks up the body and sez "You guys should come too to check out your bumps".

They leave the car and hop right in…

Why? When in the hospital does no-one think it odd that they must be checked out one at a time by the Doc, and you can't even check on your friends?

Why? Would someone in the waiting room answer an unattended ringing hospital reception phone? Furthermore who would then investigate where the call might have come from?

Who? Can tear apart an attacker with their bare hands?

Who? Agrees to a needle in the spine to extract fluid to check a knock to the head? (You might respond "they didn't know better", but in this case it was a med student!)

Which? 5 teens go out for a night nowadays and not one of them has a mobile phone?

Which? Teen can't explain succinctly enough to a Cop that something is suss as a bloodied and seedy looking orderly stands by in menacing fashion?

Who? Doesn't have some sort of lingering effect – or even noticeable pain – after being drilled in the head for about a minute?

Who? Doesn't show a little nekkid flesh in a sh*tty generic gore film with 2 hot chicks running around in tight clothes?

And finally…

Who? Deserves to die in bloodcurdling agony at the hands of an evil nurse (played by Vazquez in Aliens and one of the vampires in Near Dark), a seedy orderly (one of the seedy orderlies in Kill Bill – typecast!) and a maniacal and depraved Doctor (only Robert Patrick – T1000 himself!)?

Answer?

Only the vacuous dipsh*t teens in Autopsy, an awful excuse for a so-called horror film that is essentially an excuse to highlight some so-so gore effects.

That's…

Who?

Final Rating – 4.5 / 10. I have low expectations for these things going in. When 8 minutes in I know exactly where this is headed and that there is 0% chance those low expectations will be met it is disappointing – not as disappointing as knowing I still have 80 minutes still to go though.

Tortureporn is probably healthy for your mind..

[aetherbrain · 3/10 · 5 April 2009]

Why is it that more and more horror movies contain so much violence that is completely unnecessary to the story, do people really want to see such crap? I wish horror movies would be more like the old ones. More focus on the story and less on the actual violence. I don't mind seeing gruesome scenes of violence, but it has to be necessary to the story. Watch this movie if you want to fill your mind with pointless scenes of violence. It's just like a bad soft-core porn movie with no story, horrible acting, but with a tit or two to make it worth the viewers while. I'm a pacifist, but this movie almost made me want to apply some old fashion whoop ass on the director ;).

rather gory flick with some stupid moments

[trashgang · 7/10 · 9 November 2011]

Adam Gierasch isn't unknown for me, I just have seen his latest effort Fertile Ground and liked it and in fact I have seen so many flicks directed by him, Night Of The Demons, Mortuary,...And some of them I loved some I hated because they didn't deliver on the horror part. But luckily this one does deliver.

The story itself is as usual, some friends having an accident and are being picked up roughly by an ambulance. They are taken to an abandoned hospital with a sick doctor. From there on it goes badly wrong for the friends. The acting is okay and believable. But the main lead Jessica Lowndes did already appear in a Masters Of Horror (Dance Of The Dead) and did another horror, The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) but for the moment she's in the 90210 series. And didn't I recognise Robert Patrick from Terminator 2? Well, they all know their job and did well.

Although some stupid things going on that are unbelievable like the scene were Emily is trying to catch a cell phone without being seen is ridiculous. And there are some other parts like that (the cutting of an arm) but it's the amount of red stuff and even some gory scene's that makes it watchable.

But you keep watching until the end to know what is going to happen, surely one to autopsy.

Gore 3/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 0/5

If i could give 0 stars...

[mr_andy_7489 · 1/10 · 31 March 2009]

For someone to give this film 10 stars is wrong. To give this film 1 star is equally as bad, but they wouldn't let me give 0.

I genuinely felt everything about this film was either cheap, badly acted and/or extremely stereotypical. The 'gore' scenes were a disaster (may I note having NOTHING on such major gore films as Saw), the ending extremely predictable and tacky and it left me feeling like I'd lost all faith in good, current horror films. My biggest disappointment was in Ross McCall. I thought he was a wonderful actor in Band Of Brothers and his performance was terrific. To see him in this was a real let down.

Don't watch this film - I don't know why I did.

Starts bad but really pulls itself together by the end

[gluonpaul · 7/10 · 31 October 2018]

At the start of this movie it is so cliche as to be painful. Having said that as the movie really starts going it has some decent acting, some real heart and soul and a few pretty good visuals.

It was a very poor start but really by the end of the movie I have to say i thought it was pretty good.

The worst film I have ever seen

[smmcgill-2 · 1/10 · 13 February 2010]

Couldn't get past the first 30 minutes of this truly shocking film. Film starts noisily and irritatingly, then goes straight into what I assume is the plot. Without spoiling anything for people that haven't seen it, the story starts with some people (its impossible to make out who they are, what they have in common or what they are doing)finding a dead body underneath their car, after that they are taken to a hospital by some pathetic looking ambulance men who can neither act or look the part. The hospital is unrealistic and none of the scenes fit together or make any real sense. But by far the worst thing about this film is the acting, without exaggeration, my 6 year old nativity play this year was better acted than this film.

I cant comment on the rest of the film, because I didn't have the time to waste watching the rest of it, I had better things to do (like watch the grass grow in my front garden)

Old school horror within a modern setting.

[spike06 · 8/10 · 28 August 2019]

This deserves a much higher score than it currently has, 5/10 is a joke! Horror comes in many guises and as long as you head into this with thoughts of, for example Re-Animator or Society (I.e Body horror), then you should have a blast. From a presentation point of view the colour scheme is top notch. The use of coloured lighting is very much inspired by the great Dario Argento, when Dario was a true master of the craft think Suspiria, Cat o' Nine tales etc. The lighting is truly stunning with red & green bathing many scenes giving a dream like quality. A weird thing I found about Autopsy is the truly strange 1990s Canadian horror vibe it gives off. I persistently felt like I was watching a film from that era filmed in Canada like Hemaglobin or Habitat. Can't put my finger on why this is but I remember the same vibe coming over me on my 1st viewing quite a few years back. As others have said Autopsy plays out like a mad scientist horror with loads of believable practical effect gore, top notch acting and superb atmosphere. And who doesn't love a hospital based horror film especially in a facility that is abandoned and filled with lunatics. I've watched this twice now, once 5 to 10 years ago and again tonight and my score of 8/10 still stands, solid old school vibes in a nasty modern setting.

A Star Above Decent

[MisterSisterFister · 6/10 · 25 October 2018]

I literally watched this on a rainy afternoon with my cat. We didn't really expect much since this is one of those After Dark Horrorfest movies (which are usually pretty lame), but this wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it while it was on, but I know I will soon forget I even watched it. My cat wasn't very impressed, though. That might just be because he's a cat. Who knows.

Typical Medical Mad Science Movie

[SusieSalmonLikeTheFish · 3/10 · 20 October 2014]

Alright, first there was Turistas (2006), Captifs (2010), The Harvest (1992), Coma (1978), Hospital Massacre (1982) and They Came From Within (1975). Way too many disturbing yet incredibly bad medical movies with the same elements and themes. Well, now here's this rather pathetic movie, Autopsy, with very little, if anything, to offer.

The plot is typical of today's generation, a group of badly dressed girls and sleazy guys who talk about nothing but sex and booze end up crashing their car and hitting a guy in the road. Suddenly a very convenient ambulance arrives, taking everyone to a hospital supposedly shut down, where a 50's style nurse and creepy doctor along with goons who look as though they've just broke out of prison are all the staff. At first things seem normal enough... but then all hell breaks loose when the group begins to disappear to meet their horrible demises.

So just what makes this film so bad? Well, I'll start with the acting. Not one character in the movie has much as far as a unique personality, in fact they're so generic that it's fake. They act like they just stepped out of a pornographic movie, making sex references, getting extremely drunk at a Marti Gras party in the intro and always swearing. It's to the point where it's very unrealistic and the acting itself is terrible. The special effects were really lame and the plot had too many flaws to make the film creepy.

My advice, just watch this if you're bored or if you want to laugh at how pathetic it is. There are better films out there.

Cause of death is a not very good script

[RockPortReview · 5/10 · 6 April 2015]

"Autopsy" was apart of the After Dark Horror Fest 3 which was a collection of eight movies released in 2009. Keeping with my current theme of movies featuring insane doctors and medical madness, "Autopsy" fits the bill with mixed results. With an extremely simplistic plot and generic characters, all the movie has to offer is shock value. Most of it is pretty creative and gross but still unable to support any sort of story.

A group of college kids are partying at Mardi Gras having a fun time, but when they get back on the road to wherever they're going next they accidentally hit a man in a hospital gown who comes running out of the woods. A few moments of panicked arguing and finding out their cell phones can't get any reception an ambulance shows up out of nowhere. Hesitant at first but the paramedics take the kids back to an eerily empty Mercy Hospital to get checked out. An older nurse runs the show up front as Dr. Benway takes care of thing behind closed doors.

In typical horror movie fashion they are quickly split up, some just wander off to explore the dark and spooky building, while others are taken by the orderly to be fodder for the doctors experiments. Emily is the girl we follow the most and will undoubtedly be the final girl who will have to fight for her life against the doctor and other crazies. When things start to go bad Emily is able to call for help and a lone police officer shows up. Its no surprise that he doesn't last more than a few scenes before he is taken out.

The character of Dr. Benway is pretty weak and uninspired for being the main bad guy. He is not scary, threatening, or all that interesting. He has a very thin and clichéd back story and most it leads up to a few shocking gore filled scenes at the end. The gore and effects as I have said are pretty good, but this is a strictly by the numbers horror film that will drift off into obscurity. One final note for those interested the film was scored by Joseph Bishara, who has most recently done the two "Insidious" movies.
