Autopsy is a 2008 horror movie directed by Adam Gierasch, starring Jessica Lowndes, Ross Kohn, Ross McCall, and Michael Bowen. The movie revolves around the events that take place in the night shift at a hospital. The film takes place in a hospital that is about to close for good. A group of employees, consisting of a nurse named Emily (Jessica Lowndes), a doctor named Travis (Ross McCall), and two policemen, John and Scott (Ross Kohn and Arcadiy Golubovich) are working the graveyard shift. The night does not go as smoothly as they thought it would when a group of mysterious strangers arrive with a body that needs to be autopsied.

As the staff begins to dissect the patient, they realize that there's something odd about the body. The organs seem to be missing, and the corpse shows no sign of life. The situation only continues to worsen when one of the autopsy tools starts to malfunction, and the group realizes they're being watched by an unknown entity.

As the night progresses, members of the group begin to die in gruesome and terrifying ways, and they slowly realize that the body they are dissecting is not human. The night becomes a mission of survival as the remaining employees try to outrun their attacker and make it out of the hospital alive.

The movie does an excellent job of creating a sense of anxiety and tension throughout its duration. The set design and cinematography help generate a creepy and terrifying atmosphere that sucks the viewer into the world of the film.

The acting performances of the cast were solid, especially those of Lowndes and Kohn. Lowndes plays Emily, a nurse with a troubled past that ties into the horrors of the night, and Kohn portrays John, a jaded cop who has seen too much and now just wants to make it through the night.

The film uses practical effects to create its brand of horror, and they work well in creating some grisly and disturbing scenes. The gore is not excessive but instead used tactfully to add to the fear factor and generate discomfort.

The movie has two main themes that run throughout its narrative: the fear of the unknown and the aftermath of trauma. The first theme is delivered through the use of a mysterious entity stalking the characters as they go through their night at the hospital. The second theme ties into Emily's character arc, and how her past trauma has not left her, and now she must go through a new one to survive the night.

The movie's pacing is well structured, with an appropriate mix of jump scares and slow-building tension. The use of flashbacks and hallucinations adds depth to the characters and helps them stand out in the genre's stereotypical horror movie lineup.

Overall, Autopsy is a solid horror movie that should be enjoyed by fans of the genre. It delivers on the classic tropes while adding its own spin on them to make it stand out. Its well-done practical effects, strong performances, and spooky atmosphere combine to make an entertaining and terrifying experience. If you're looking for a good fright, Autopsy is the movie for you.

Autopsy is a 2008 horror movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 20 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.0.
