From director André Øvredal (Trollhunter) comes one of the best horror movies of 2016, The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

**The one corpse no coroner want to mess with!**

The Autopsy of Jane Doe presents an intriguing concept with eerie visuals and strong atmospheric tension, but its execution lacks depth and emotional impact. While the mystery builds well, inconsistencies in plot details and underdeveloped characters lessen its overall effectiveness. The film still offers a chilling experience, especially for fans of medical horror, though it misses the opportunity to fully realize its supernatural potential.
