"The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is a 2016 horror movie by director Andre
First and foremost, let me begin by saying this movie is extremely well done. Also, this may dip into spoiler territory so:
SPOILER ALERT!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE!!
From the very first scene in this movie, I had a consistent sense of curiosity. Every second that passes I feel the urge to learn more about the characters and the fate of Jane Doe. Within the first few scenes, we learn that Austin lost his mother which was especially hard for Tommy to cope with. This puts Austin in a position where he consistently worries about his father, a very relatable trait that makes resonated with me. This made what happens throughout the night so much more terrifying.
The film begins to unravel in a similar fashion of a crime thriller for about the first 30-40 minutes. It is in this section of the movie where I feel it is especially terrifying. After this point where they start to get a jist of what has happened to Jane Doe. She is a witch whose body has been in a constant comatose state. She is basically punishing everyone in her path by making them feel the pain that she felt when she was tortured to death. when they start to find out clues that lead to this conclusion the movie becomes less scary and more like a standard paranormal horror film.
Don't get me wrong this isn't a bad thing, in fact, it's quite effective. It manages to have your standard paranormal beats where you question if what happens to these characters is real or in their heads, but also manages to be satisfying in how it is executed. I'm not a huge paranormal horror fan, I'm more of a slasher guy but this movie was a FANTASTIC addition to the paranormal sub-genre of horror. Great tension, awesome jump scares, and just overall one of the best horror movies it took me forever to finally watch.
I give "the Autopsy of Jane Doe" 4.5/5 on the patented Monster Meter!
