The Autopsy of Jane Doe

Norwegian director André Øvredal (TROLLHUNTER) returns to theatres with his latest soon-to-be horror classic and first English language release, THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE, a film that finds itself squarely on the indie arthouse horror slab. A festival hit in 2016 (TIFF, 2nd Place in People’s Choice Midnight Madness; Fantastic Fest Best Horror Feature; Sitges, Special Jury Prize ) THE AUTOPSY OF JANE DOE stars veteran actor Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch (INTO THE WILD) as father-and-son coroners who experience a supernatural phenomena while examining the body of an unidentified woman, a mysterious homicide victim with no apparent cause of death. As they attempt to identify the beautiful young “Jane Doe,” they discover increasingly bizarre clues that hold the key to her terrifying secrets.

“Experienced coroner Tommy Tilden and his grown-up son Austin run a family-owned morgue and crematorium in Virginia. When the local Sheriff brings in an emergency case–an unknown female corpse nicknamed ‘Jane Doe’, found in the basement of a home where a multiple homicide took place–it seems like just another open-and-shut case. But as the autopsy proceeds, these seasoned professionals are left reeling as each layer of their inspection brings frightening new revelations. Perfectly preserved on the outside, Jane Doe’s insides have been scarred, charred and dismembered–seemingly the victim of a horrific yet mysterious ritualistic torture. As Tommy and Austin begin to piece together these gruesome discoveries, an unnatural force takes hold of the crematorium. While a violent storm rages above ground, it seems the real horrors lie on the inside…”

“One of the best horror movies of the year.” (Movies.com)

“A genuinely intriguing and compelling gothic mystery.” (Daily Dead)

“Ovredal’s first English-langauge feature makes good on the promise of his homegrown 2011 fantasy action hit ‘Trollhunter.'” (Variety)
