Autopsy - movie review

Yet another horrorfest movie review this time in the shape of “Autopsy” & as the name suggests it involves doctors & such. As a group of friends are returning home after the trip of a lifetime at mardi gras they get involved in a car accident, they soon find out that they have hit a man & before they can figure out what’s after happening a mysterious ambulance shows up to cart the man back to hospital but one of the group is badly injured so he too is brought to the hospital with his friends following. Upon arrival a doctor shows up & takes the injured guy away to be treated, one by one the group of friends get seen to by the medical staff but they start to notice not all is right with the hospital or the staff. A few things about this movie confused me but overall it did have a good scary feel to it..maybe because I’m scared of hospitals? But then the over the top gore definitely added to the scares, when the horror & gore does happen its very raw & there are not many cut away’s to shield the audience but then I guess that’s how it made it into the horror fest line up. The acting was surprisingly good with a great performance by Robert Patrick as the evil doctor Benway, again doctors & hospitals unnerve me so I expected this to creep me out but with elements of “hostel” thrown in it definitely delivered a genuine dose of weirdness, although at times some of the scenes felt a little like the movie “braindead” but all in all once I got my head around some of the confusing plot points it was an enjoyable enough movie, not the best from horror fest but a good attempt.
