Mini mainstream movie review of Autopsy
Autopsy trailer
After a night of Mardi Gras partying, a group of young people end up crashing their car. They are then taken to a dreadfully understaffed hospital for examinations to make sure they are all right. Arriving everyone seems to be OK until one of the guys pulls out a piece of broken glass from his stomach. As he pulls it out the piece turns out to be about three inches long. He is immediately whisked away as the other await their turn for examination (say ahhh…and close your eyes ;-). One by one they are either taken away or explore on their own….never to return.
Gimp wise there is a very good scene towards the end. Emily (played by Jessica Lowndes) is strapped to a table and tormented by having her head drilled into. The first two attempts are with hand drills that at one point stops working properly…..but still after having done their damage. After the second attempt the doctor goes looking for an electric drill leaving an orderly to look after Emily. Instead of just keeping an eye on her he ends up torturing her by sticking his finger into the wound on her head. He then slaps and punches her a few times. Not finished yet he grabs a bottle of alcohol and pours it into the wound, then breaks the bottle on her head. He follows this up with a few punches to the stomach.
Even though there is nothing sexually going on here I still found this segment very effective. For one, the victim is wearing a tight tank-top and you get that same type of vibe as the Rhona Mitra/Doomsday bit. Second, Jessica Lowndes is ultra hot! And third, her reactions are spot on!
There was also an opportunity for another Gimp moment but the filmmakers went a different way (of course…..could we really expect anything else) as Claire (played by Ashley Schneider) goes exploring (due to the Hospital being so empty) and gets attacked by a naked man. If I were filming and a girl gets attacked by a naked man, he’s naked for a reason…..like not having to waste time to un-zip. ;- )
Entertainment wise, there is no other way to describe this as a splatter movie. Extremely bloody and graphic in it’s handling of a Hospital front for organ harvest. Grade C
Gimp wise, high marks for Jessica Lowndes’ part in emoting pain and terror for a grade of B-
