Truly Dreadful Film

Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This film is so bad that I did not even laugh. And I mean really really bad. The plot, the acting, the ending, the alternate ending...Clichés abound from start to finish. Every single scene is predictable, as is the ending. After a while, I began seriously to think that these guys were so stupid to deserve all this was happening, if not worse.Cellular are broken, if they are not broken, there is no signal. But what about hospital's telephone? Is it only for internal use? Nobody suspects something about an hospital with no people, no nurse and patients who try to run away?

I rented this, because it did sound interesting. Now I am a classic horror fan, I love those movies like Friday the 13th, Halloween, Black Christmas, E.T.C.. I also realize my video store doesn't carry those great films, only the horror films of today, I have seen some classics, surprise. I also rented it because of Janette Goldstein( Aliens) and Robert Patrick(T2). I do like films about psycho doctor's and that's why I picked it up. I found this film with a lot of plot holes; and of course medical inaccuracy. We start out with friends having a great time in New Orleans, having one hell of a time on Spring Break . They are filming each other and enjoying their time. The movie then cuts and we find they have been in a serious crash, with a tree on a deserted Louisiana road. They find out they ran over this patient who is still alive. An ambulance quickly arrives and takes the patient and them to a hospital for treatment. Little to the kids know that this is not a functioning hospital. They soon find out they walk into a trap, the hospital has been closed for some time, and it's a hide out for a doctor who is conducting experiments on innocent people. He uses their bodies to conduct a new experiment trying to save his wife from Cancer. This is not a movie for those who cringe at the sight of blood and gore. It is your typical new age horror film , lacking on plot, if you like blood and gore- go for it. This movie, could have been at least a 7, if it wasn't for the blood/gore; and some of the ridiculous scenes. I felt they went way overboard on gore especially the ending where she finds her boyfriend. I mean get real, who is going to believe that S**T. I probably made this movie sound good, but it is far from your old school horror films.

I knew this may have been a straight to DVD release, obviously this was confirmed, especially by the fact that critics have not reviewed it or given it a star rating, but it doesn't matter, I watched it and I am giving it an opinion, so that's fine. Basically in the middle of the night, on their way home from the New Orleans Mardi Gras, five friends: Emily (Jessica Lowndes), her boyfriend Bobby (Ross Kohn), Clare (Ashley Schneider), Dmitriy (Arcady Golubovich) and Jude (Ross McCall) crash their car on the State Route 53 in Louisiana, but they and the man they hit are picked up by an ambulance that takes them to Mercy Hospital. Nurse Marian (Jenette Goldstein) tells them all to be patient as they are called one by one to have their injuries looked at, even if they only look minor, and Bobby is seen to be the worst case after he pulls a piece of glass from his chest. As each character is taken to an examination room, Emily becomes concerned for her boyfriend, and with no one looking decides to investigate for herself, and that is when she meets the very suspicious head of the hospital, Dr. David Benway (Robert Patrick). Soon enough the characters realise they are not in a safe environment, and all fall victim to the evil tortures and experiments by the sick staff members, including taking a drug that creates savage hallucinations, smashing a head in until the brain is caved in, and various surgical implements used as torture devices and weapons. Emily eventually knows she is the last one left, and after trying to escape, calling the police and the officer being killed, and finding out the hospital has been closed down for years, she is almost a victim to the vicious pain herself, but she gets away. The big discovery comes when she finds the wife of Dr. Benway, who he said was recovering from terminal cancer, when in fact she is being kept alive by a machine, pumping some kind of chemical liquid, and also she finds Bobby, with all his organs taken out of his body and connected by above tubes and electrodes to run the equipment. Emily ends the lives (in euthanasia) of both Bobby and the Doctor's wife by turning off the machine, and when Jude shows up one more time he sacrifices himself to save the day, by lighting gas creating an explosion, and in the end Emily gets her moment of revenge with her own torturous way. Also starring Michael Bowen as Travis and Robert LaSardo as Scott. Obviously the acting is as good as you can get in a low budget scary movie, Patrick fits the lead villain role perfectly with his stone faced evil character, and the story is simple enough, with plenty of unexpected and inventive blood and gut scares, accompanied by very uncomfortable torture, all in all a pretty alright horror film. Worth watching!

Maybe the worst thing a horror film can do to a fan is bore the hell out of them. But that is exactly what Autopsy did to me and my fellow viewers during a recent screening.Autopsy, an entry in the After Dark Films series, begins with a group of students awaiting an ambulance after a car crash that has left a stranger dead under the vehicle. The students are taken to mercy Hospital which is run a small group of staff headed by Dr. David Benway (Terminator 2's Robert Patrick).Easily separated while awaiting minor treatment, the young stars (which include Jessica Lowndes, Ashley Schneider and Ross Kohn) soon find out that their health and safety is anything but assured while contained within the halls of the hospital.The first half of Autopsy was boring, predictable and lacking in any enjoyment whatsoever. Director Adam Gierasch brought nothing truly original to the screen and a contagious yawn could be heard throughout my screening group.But about half way through the film, it was as if Gierasch finally got it. He went from trying to establish mood and worthwhile characters to just having fun with the genre. There are more than a few wink wink nod nod type scenes in the second half that catapult Autopsy from a boring, meandering mess to a fairly watchable and at times enjoyable horror film. When you reach a fleeing female victim gets punched in the face by a sadistic intern, you know you have it the killerreviews turning point and that things will be more fanciful for the remainder of the film.The gore is definitely there. There is a scene with a naked man spewing his guts onto an ever-fighting female and the scene where we see a male victim with his guts hanging on strings and slings outside of his body was top rate.Autopsy then gets a mild recommendation based solely on the final 40 minutes. Robert Patrick is always a treat to watch and he is in full bad guy mode here (think Dr. Giggles except without the giggles). You won't care which of the young characters live or die or if any of them make it out alive for that matter. Maybe that's what made the second half so much fun. Once you stop thinking it a horror film and enjoy it as a black comedy with blood and body parts, the film takes flight.www.killerreviews.com
