Movie Review - AUTOPSY

After having a grand ole' time during Mardi Gras, five twentysomethings end up crashing their car on a deserted backroad in the middle of nowhere. When they crawl out of the wreck with little more than a few bumps, cuts, and bruises, they discover they've run over a man -- a man dressed in a hospital gown.

From out of nowhere an ambulance shows up. They've been looking for the missing man. The paramedics end up taking the group to Mercy Hospital that seems a mite understaffed.

What follows is a very gory and somewhat decent horror movie. Although it's said to have some "black comedy" in it, I found those kinds of scenes very few and far between.

What I never understood is why the title, when the focus of the film has nothing to do with autopsies.

Is it bloody? Well, it definitely has its moments. The acting is very credible, and Robert Patrick as the infamous Dr. Benway (google up the family history) literally hacks up the scenery.

This little flick is part of After Dark Horrorfest III. It comes with an alternate ending which I personally felt would have been a better choice. But, no, the ending you get makes the film weaker, in my honest opinion.

My recommendation?
