Why it’s HorroRated

The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a masterclass in location horror. Andre Ovredal uses the autopsy suite as a closed system and introduces his reveals through examination rather than exposition. Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch make the procedural work feel completely authentic. An underseen gem that does almost everything right.

Synopsis

Andre Ovredal confines the film almost entirely to the autopsy suite and uses the examination as a structure for controlled revelation. Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch make the procedural work feel completely authentic. An underseen gem that does almost everything right.
