The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)
Following yesterdays discussion on another thread i decided to give this a second viewing. Brilliantly it stands up to a second watch with ease.
Without going into any plot detail other than to say it's a film about a pair of mortuary attendants as played by the equally excellent Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch who late one night are brought an unknown and beautifully preserved body by the local police force who need to find out immediately about the death of the unknown person christened Jane Doe as are all female unknowns.
It's still a riveting experience from it's opening moments. I found it tense and creepy, bordering on the scary throughout with some wonderful ambient sounds making it also a truly immersive experience. I'll just add that i'd forgotten the final reveal of who our Jane Doe is / was and thought it terrific.
I said back in December 2017 it was probably the best horror film of that year. Well i'm struggling to think of any better since.
