#282 The Autopsy of Jane Doe
Directed by André Øvredal
Year 2016
A single-location supernatural mystery where the many clues are contained inside a corpse, starring the always excellent Brian Cox and the uneven Emile Hirsch. They play morticians performing a late-night autopsy on an unidentified victim found at the scene of multiple homicides. (I would love to watch the documentary on the steps that lead to Olwen Catherine Kelly taking the part of Jane, which requires her to lay completely naked on a table while her expression becomes increasingly sinister, like a horror film Weekend at Bernies.) A blend of Agatha Christie and Body Horror with a few jump scares, but also some real scares and the mystery is constantly intriguing even though the story comes a little unglued towards the end.
