This chilling chamber piece from the Norwegian director Andr Ovredal is an exercise in restrained horror.

Mike McCahill

Guardian

The second half is merely morbid runaround, punctuating its soundtrack crashes with self-justifying footnotes on historical misogyny.

Rated: 2/5

Erick Estrada

Cinegarage

In this horror story much closer in spirit to Stephen King's novels than to cheap horror films, Ørvedal makes us feel and live with his revenge nightmare that which others (particularly women) have lived and felt. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

The movies early, slow-burning potential is squandered by its adherence to popular genre tropes, all of which seem underwhelming after the first two-thirds.

Rated: 2/4

It redefines gooseflesh. Hell your scalp will crawl right off of you and into the seat beside you and then demand some of your popcorn, if you let it.

Corey K Great pacing and unnerving atmosphere. Awesome movie especially for it’s time Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review Michael P Best horror movie I've seen, it's obvious that it was completely thought through, and it didn't try too hard to spare anybody! My favorite. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Arsalan R solid mid/10. the movie was going great, till they killed off the animal. very cheap way to get an emotional reaction out of viewers, cuz everyone knows people love animals. i'll give respect to the movie for its lack of using cheesy jump scares, a decent enough story for a horror movie, and Brian Cox's fantastic performance, but that's about where my praises end. at least foot fetishists will enjoy the final scene? Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/24 Full Review John M Look this is the perfect movie for late night can’t sleep issues, cuz this movie will have you scared under the covers! Great little gem here, it’s a much watch for horror fans. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Aidan B Though it is fairly predictable and the story is far from original, "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is one of the more terrifying films in recent years and one of the more memorable horror films that I have seen in the past few years. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Noe R Not the greatest movie in the world, but overall it was a decent watch and the cinematography was pretty cool. At least no one tried to f*** the dead girl Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/24/24 Full Review Read all reviews
