Autopsy (2009)

All that I knew about "Autopsy" when I sat down to watch it was that it was a horror movie and that it involved a hospital setting, and that was it. So it was my love for the horror genre that called me to the movie."Autopsy" is by no means a milestone in the horror genre in any possible way. In fact, it is a very mediocre and monotone movie. It is entertaining enough for what it turned out to be, just don't expect anything breathtaking or spectacular.The storyline is also a fairly generic one, revolving around the horrible and macabre events in an old hospital. Yep, it is one of those types of movies. So don't expect an innovating storyline. It should be said that the storyline is adequately paced, although it is very linear and generic, and thus also quite predictable.Now, the acting in the movie is adequate, taking into consideration what kind of movie it is, its budget and the genre. However, there were some casting choices which does raise some questions as to why they opted for those individuals. A matter of personal preference, of course.As for the horror factor of the movie, well it is a diminutive one at best. There are no shocks, no thrills, no scares and such throughout the course of the movie. Which left me with a very mediocre feeling once the movie had run its course and came to an end.If you enjoy horror movies that take place in a hospital setting, then there are some more impressive movies available, and so much more entertaining movies for sure. I managed to sit through "Autopsy" to the very end, but I can with all honesty say that this is not a movie that I will be watching a second time.

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.

I rented this, because it did sound interesting. Now I am a classic horror fan, I love those movies like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Black Christmas, E.T.C.. I also realize my video store doesn't carry those great films, only the horror films of today, I have seen some classics, surprise. I also rented it because of Janette Goldstein( Aliens) and Robert Patrick(T2). I do like films about psycho doctor's and that's why I picked it up. I found this film with a lot of plot holes; and of course medical inaccuracy. We start out with friends having a great time in New Orleans, having one hell of a time on Spring Break . They are filming each other and enjoying their time. The movie then cuts and we find they have been in a serious crash, with a tree on a deserted Louisiana road. They find out they ran over this patient who is still alive. An ambulance quickly arrives and takes the patient and them to a hospital for treatment. Little to the kids know that this is not a functioning hospital. They soon find out they walk into a trap, the hospital has been closed for some time, and it's a hide out for a doctor who is conducting experiments on innocent people. He uses their bodies to conduct a new experiment trying to save his wife from Cancer. This is not a movie for those who cringe at the sight of blood and gore. It is your typical new age horror film , lacking on plot, if you like blood and gore- go for it. This movie, could have been at least a 7, if it wasn't for the blood/gore; and some of the ridiculous scenes. I felt they went way overboard on gore especially the ending where she finds her boyfriend. I mean get real, who is going to believe that S**T. I probably made this movie sound good, but it is far from your old school horror films.

I knew this may have been a straight to DVD release, obviously this was confirmed, especially by the fact that critics have not reviewed it or given it a star rating, but it doesn't matter, I watched it and I am giving it an opinion, so that's fine. Basically in the middle of the night, on their way home from the New Orleans Mardi Gras, five friends: Emily (Jessica Lowndes), her boyfriend Bobby (Ross Kohn), Clare (Ashley Schneider), Dmitriy (Arcady Golubovich) and Jude (Ross McCall) crash their car on the State Route 53 in Louisiana, but they and the man they hit are picked up by an ambulance that takes them to Mercy Hospital. Nurse Marian (Jenette Goldstein) tells them all to be patient as they are called one by one to have their injuries looked at, even if they only look minor, and Bobby is seen to be the worst case after he pulls a piece of glass from his chest. As each character is taken to an examination room, Emily becomes concerned for her boyfriend, and with no one looking decides to investigate for herself, and that is when she meets the very suspicious head of the hospital, Dr. David Benway (Robert Patrick). Soon enough the characters realise they are not in a safe environment, and all fall victim to the evil tortures and experiments by the sick staff members, including taking a drug that creates savage hallucinations, smashing a head in until the brain is caved in, and various surgical implements used as torture devices and weapons. Emily eventually knows she is the last one left, and after trying to escape, calling the police and the officer being killed, and finding out the hospital has been closed down for years, she is almost a victim to the vicious pain herself, but she gets away. The big discovery comes when she finds the wife of Dr. Benway, who he said was recovering from terminal cancer, when in fact she is being kept alive by a machine, pumping some kind of chemical liquid, and also she finds Bobby, with all his organs taken out of his body and connected by above tubes and electrodes to run the equipment. Emily ends the lives (in euthanasia) of both Bobby and the Doctor's wife by turning off the machine, and when Jude shows up one more time he sacrifices himself to save the day, by lighting gas creating an explosion, and in the end Emily gets her moment of revenge with her own torturous way. Also starring Michael Bowen as Travis and Robert LaSardo as Scott. Obviously the acting is as good as you can get in a low budget scary movie, Patrick fits the lead villain role perfectly with his stone faced evil character, and the story is simple enough, with plenty of unexpected and inventive blood and gut scares, accompanied by very uncomfortable torture, all in all a pretty alright horror film. Worth watching!
