The Autopsy of Jane Doe (2016)

Introduction to "The Autopsy of Jane Doe"
"The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is a 2016 supernatural horror movie directed by André Øvredal. The story follows a dad and son group of coroners who experience supernatural phenomena while examining the body of an unidentified woman. The movie stars Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch as the coroners, with Olwen Catherine Kelly as the strange Jane Doe.

Plot Overview
The film begins at a gruesome crime scene in a small-town home in Virginia, where numerous murder victims have actually been discovered by the police. Strangely, in the basement of the home, they discover the perfectly preserved, yet unharmed body of a girl half-buried in the dirt flooring. The body is transferred to the regional morgue run by knowledgeable coroner Tommy Tilden (Brian Cox) and his child Austin (Emile Hirsch) for an instant and comprehensive autopsy to identify her cause of death.

As the father-son duo works late into the night to decipher the mysteries surrounding the body, they encounter inexplicable and worrying phenomena. The body itself shows inconsistent signs-- externally remaining pristine while internally revealing extreme and mysterious trauma. In addition, their findings are unusual; the woman's tongue has been cut out, her lungs are blackened as if she had actually been burned, and she has fractured wrists and ankles, but there are no outside signs of these injuries.

Supernatural Occurrences
As the autopsy progresses, strange occurrences start to afflict the duo. Their radio inexplicably tunes to a broadcast on the history of witch hunts, the lights flicker, and violent storms rage outside. Throughout the assessment, the corpse appears to remain passively associated with the frightening occasions that unfold in the morgue. The corpses in the morgue drawers are inexplicably gotten rid of and posed in threatening manners. A mystical, sneaking sense of dread builds as the storm outside seals them in, cutting power and avoiding their escape.

Revealing the Truth
Digging deeper into the body's secrets, Tommy and Austin uncover progressively strange clues, including shroud-like fabric in the remains's stomach printed with Roman characters and a strange flower that need to only be discovered in the Northeast. As the father and kid piece together evidence, Tommy postulates that Jane Doe might have been the victim of a historically misinterpreted process-- perhaps she was innocent and tortured to death in the name of witchcraft hysteria, and her unavenged death triggered her to handle a supernatural kind that looks for retaliation.

Climax and Revelation
In the climax, the horrors within the morgue reach their peak with supernatural forces pressing both Tommy and Austin to the brink. Tommy, recognizing that Jane Doe's presence brings just death, offers himself as a sacrifice to end the cycle and save his son. He is extremely killed while doing so, however his death does not offer Austin the chance to leave. Ultimately, Jane Doe's real identity as a victim and things of vengeance is revealed, and it ends up being clear that the scaries won't stop with just one night or one victim.

Conclusion
"The Autopsy of Jane Doe" concludes with the mysteries surrounding the young woman partly resolved but ultimately unsatisfying. It turns out that she might have been an effective, innocent soul from the era of witch trials, and her unavenged pain appears to oblige her to spread death to whoever desecrates her body. Eventually, the movie ends with the morgue in disarray, Tommy and Austin dead, and Jane Doe encapsulated back in her pristine state-- ready to be transferred to another unwitting group of coroners, hinting at the continuation of the awful and frightening cycle.
