Autopsy of Jane Doe is like a 1970s horror movie, in both its good and bad aspects. It starts slowly, but takes time to build its Everyman characters (who are also father and son morticians). There are a couple of jump scares, but not anything like the number that are in the average modern horror film. And it attracted three first class actors: Brian Cox and Emile Hirsh, and relative unknown Ophelia Lovibond, who should get a special award for the most physically challenging role of 2016. The best thing about this film is the set; every scratch, scrape, and tacky yet ominous decorating choice is captured. Unfortunately, the script begins to unravel in the second half. It depends too much on smart characters making stupid choices. I rate Autopsy as average, but you should see for yourself.
