 Subject is in her mid to late 20s, hair brown, black blood mourning down, eyes grey. What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel Critical Overlord here. This is going to be a review for the 2016 horror film, the autopsy of Jane Doe. The autopsy of Jane Doe was released in 2016, but it didn't come out in, it didn't get like any official releases, I don't think until like mid 2017, early 2017. The film is directed by Andre Overdahl and it stars Owen Kelly, Emile Hirsch and Brian Cox. Those are our three central characters, those are only three that I'm going to very mention of because there are three central characters. The movie revolves around those three actors for the majority of the film. This film follows a father and son, a group of a pair of father and son coroners in a local small town. They investigate the death of a girl who was found at the scene of a crime where it appears that other people around her were also murdered. Her, she's not able to be identified so she's classified as a Jane Doe and when the father, when the pair of coroners start investigating her or start performing the autopsy on the body, they start to discover a lot of bizarre details surrounding this Jane Doe. When I first saw this film, I was intrigued at how genuine these scares were because some of the scares in this film, they don't come from jump scares, they're coming from the actual fear of you're right along with this father and this, this pair of father and sons, you're right along with them, you're trying to figure out, well what the hell is going on with this Jane Doe, what is, what is going on with her, why? And as soon as she, as soon as she shows up there on the scene and they start doing the autopsy, a lot of weird things start happening around these, these two corners. The radio that they have in the room starts playing random songs and random noises. The weather starts to, starts to be affected by her presence. The lights start flickering, the corpses that are in the room already with them, they start moving around on their own. A lot of bizarre things start happening once they start performing the autopsy on this Jane Doe. And everyone in this film does an amazing job, everyone holds their own. While the characters are not fully fleshed out, everyone here gives an amazing performance. You genuinely care about these characters, well, I wouldn't say you want to see them necessarily succeed, but you become invested right along with them, you want them to at least finish this autopsy, you want to see them finish the autopsy, you want to find out as much about Jane Doe as they do. I like how that film, how the film kind of puts you in the same position that they are in. It's almost as if you guys are performing the autopsy right along with them and that's what I appreciate about this film, how it takes the audience and it puts them in the same boat with the characters, no one knows more. The characters don't know more than you and you don't know more than the characters. Of course, as you're watching the film, you may start to put clues and pieces together, but eventually you will come right back to the same spot that the characters are at and everyone is on the same page for the majority of this short film. This film is rather short, it's like around an hour and 28 minutes if I'm not mistaken. The cinematography in this film is very well done. Like I said, the acting in this film is amazing, everyone gives a solid performance. The soundtrack, there's a song in particular, I can't think of the name of it right now, but if you've seen this film, you know what I'm talking about, it plays at the end of the film. I think that was beautifully attached to this film and I think they played that song at all the right moments in the film to build up the tension and the suspense that was already established by the bizarre events that occur in the film. Every other scene in this film is rather disturbing because you don't know what is going on here. And then when you do start to find out what's going on, because you do find out in the end what is going on and where this person came from and also who Jane Doe is. That is where the film starts to fall apart. Again, it all goes back to a lot of what the downfall is with a lot of other horror films. When you start to expose too much about your villain or too much about the mystery of the film, that's when a lot of films start to decline in a big way because what this film does is it explains Jane Doe and it gives the audience information as to who this person could be. Nothing is concrete but there's enough clues hinted at it as the film goes on and as the father-son duo, they start pulling back things from the body. As the film is going on and as more clues become exposed, anyone who's familiar with certain real-world events, you may be able to figure out what's going on here right before the very end. I kind of did this. I had hunches of what was going on and then the film confirmed them at the very end when it was reiterated in front of me on screen once the father and son put two and two together as well. I did not really dig the backstory of Jane Doe but I do like how the plot twist was rather logical in a way. That's the only thing I liked about it. I don't think it was necessary to know what was going on with her. There clearly was something supernatural here going on and you find out what that is in the end. I don't think so what the problem is with that, while they revealed what was going on it wasn't as once they did that it was no longer as compelling because what was interesting and intimidating about the film was the lack of you not knowing what was going on and then once you know it kind of takes away from some of the scares that occur after the fact. That's just my opinion on it. I feel like this film would have benefited more if we never found out what was going on with Jane Doe. Like I said the film is rather short. It's an impressive short film. It's not a short film but you get what I'm saying. It's an only an hour and 30 minutes. It's a very impressive film for such a short runtime. Everyone does an amazing job. It's directed well. The cinematography is amazing. I love the colors. The coloring in this movie I think those are absolutely beautiful. I think the design of the morgue where the father and son are I think that's amazing. The outside imagery of the other set pieces that we have in this film I think those are all constructed very well. This movie is not a bad film. In my opinion it could have been a great film but at the end of the day it ended up being a solid enjoyable film that I would say is good. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give the autopsy of Jane Doe a solid 6.5 out of 10. I love this movie. I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the horror genre.
