The Autopsy of Jane Doe	comment	The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a 2016 American horror film directed by André Øvredal of The Troll Hunter fame and starring Emile Hirsch and Brian Cox.One day, the police investigate a particularly gruesome and mysterious murder case, but the most intriguing element is the corpse of an unknown woman discovered in the basement. The same night, the local coroners Tommy Tilden and his son Austin are tasked with performing an autopsy on that same woman, given the name "Jane Doe" for the time being, in their underground morgue in order to uncover the cause of death.As they perform the autopsy on Jane Doe, the corpse becomes more and more puzzling and supernatural events threatening their lives begin to occur in their morgue. Trapped, Tommy and Austin struggle to survive the night with Jane Doe.Not to be confused with The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, a very different film.Due to the nature of the film, spoilers will be difficult to avoid. You Have Been Warned.

But when things go way beyond of what can be described as "normal" or even "weird", they quickly try to leave the morgue.

Jane Doe is a witch with illusion abilities who is not only still alive but aware of what's around her.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe / int_affd30b0	comment	Stupid Evil: Jane Doe. By the end of the movie, Tommy and Austin have figured out that she is alive and sentient and can feel everything done to her, have figured out a large chunk of her history, and even succeed in communicating with her. Then she kills them both, eliminating the two people who could've prevented her from experiencing any further trauma, and thus ensuring she'll most likely go through another agonizing autopsy at the very least before anyone else figures those same things out, provided she doesn't kill them, too.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe / int_bc00493f	comment	Precision F-Strike: Tommy continues with the autopsy and remains unfazed by the initial weirdness. In fact, he's getting more and more curious with each new discovery, ignoring Austin's increasing fear. But the moment the lights are blown up, power is cut and most importantly, the morgue's freezer is suddenly empty of three bodies stored there, he quickly concludes the show is over.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe / int_c3c18143	comment	Hope Spot: The Tildens leave the morgue room without any issues and go directly to the doors. Unfortunately, due to a heavy storm, a nearby tree has blocked the doors. The elevator suddenly comes down. But it barely moves few inches up before the power dies back again. Zig-Zagged with the Cruel Twist Ending. Apparently "Jane" kept her word to bargain Tommy's life to let Austin go free and unharmed. He goes to the door, the sheriff is already there, clearing the tree, and you might think everything's going to be (relatively) okay... but then you realize that everyone who could have explained why Tommy's fingerprints are all over two murder weapons is now dead, making you think the movie's about to end with Tommy getting framed for committing double homicide... and then the sheriff starts singing "Open up your heart"....

Dead bodies and weird things with them really don't bother them that much, especially in case of Tommy, who has twice as much work experience as his son. They remain collected until the very end, even if things definitely go past the point of what they've already seen in their lives.

We never see what happens to Tommy in the dark or who/what is doing it when he's attacked by what appear to be reanimated corpses from his morgue. We only see him badly cut and bruised when Austin finds him afterwards.

A final unnerving instance of it occurs when in the last moments of the movie, when the police investigate the morgue following the deaths of the Tildens and the corpse is shown to be perfectly intact, which we saw resulting from the transfer of her injuries to Tommy.
