Such is the intriguing premise of
The Autopsy of Jane Doe, a
supernatural horror film that gradually gets eerier and eerier as it
progresses. Though not free from
annoying false scares, this movie does successfully build tension well. At the same time, a continuous sense of dread
of the unknown is maintained. What’s
going to happen next? What’s the deal
with this Jane Doe corpse? Will she
suddenly move? Will she eventually rise
up? It has some sprinkles of familiarity
in the flow of its plot, but it generally keeps the audience on their toes,
guessing till the end.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe is the kind of horror films that I like –
producing its thrills from having more focus on being mysterious, smart,
suspenseful, subversive, and subtle, instead of being overly methodical, gruesome,
startling, and loud.
