Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
None of the bizarre events are explained and one can only assume Jane Doe is a demon. Graphic and well-made, but too little information, and riddled with too many of the usual cliches for this type of film. I did not find it scary at all.
If you like horror then you are missing out if you give this one a miss.At 84 minutes including credits I did not expect much, but this blew me away right from the opening and it had me on the edge of my seat basically all the way through.The acting is simply sublime. Brian Cox, a long time favourite and Emile Hirsch do a superb job of carrying this one off. They are amply helped by good cinematography, music and sets.While somewhat predictable in places it still gave me a few unexpected frights.Very well done to all involved and highly recommended.Well deserved 9/10 from me and horror is not really my thing.
It's about a father/son pair of surgeons who work at the morgue. Their latest dissection is a woman whose skin and muscles are smooth from the outside, but joints are broken inside. They discover more and more layers of her body throughout the surgery. The joints broken has no bruises or exit wounds. It was very good. It started out as a mystery and turned into a very scary supernatural horror movie. Suspenseful, smart and scary. Even it's most preposterous scenes (like her inner skin filled with codes and Roman numerals) were relevant because she was originally a witch that was tortured years ago and her spirit is trying to live again through harming others which helps keep her body more "alive". Very well done.
The first part of the film is my favourite part....it builds up quite well and is genuinely intriguing whilst building up the tension. Certain parts of this film are pretty creepy and there aren't too many jump scares. Unfortunately by the half way point it kinda goes downhill for me, there were points where I was just cringing where the usual cliche horror movie sequences occur and by the end of the film, I was disappointed more than pleased. Overall I think the creepy parts of this film are decent enough to be checked out, just don't expect a masterpiece.
