Not very good. A bunch of forensic pathologist students are competitively murdering random individuals to compete with each other as to who can do it in the most imaginative way and in an attempt to show how clever they are in bamboozling their fellow pathologists in the autopsy that follows to determine the means of death.
A new pathologist starts and is drawn into this world with predictable consequences. Far too much of the film was taken up with focusing upon the characters in the film who were invariably immensely arrogant and highly dislikeable rather than what they were doing, who they were doing it to etc. Some aspects of the film were quite interesting; the penchant for copulating around the cadaver post-autopsy, copious use of crack pipes but otherwise this film was surprisingly dull.
The lead know it all male was awful. It was easy for him to be absorbed into the scene because he was as emotionally detached and arrogant as the rest of them and only eventually tried to back out due to cold feet after one of the more unhinged members of the group got carried away on an 'offing' spree. They were all a bit poor man's Patrick Bateman a la American Psycho but devoid of charisma and humour. There was no emotional connection to this film. The protagonists were all obnoxious irritants and the victims were, almost without exception, cadavers on a slab.
Along with an unsatisfactory conclusion and little more than lip service paid to plausibility (the nightly crack taking, copulating, murder and dissection didn't impact upon their capabilities for turning up and functioning at work the next morning) it gets a couple of stars for the idea, the one victim they did show and the occasional flash of interest.

This really was such a disappointment. Really bad storyline and it just seemed like a bunch of amateurs acting to be honest. I want the hours i wasted watching the film back!!

Milo Ventimiglia is incredible in his performance, although the film was a lot more sexual then i had anticipated it was quite nice to see his bottom ;)
The film is very interesting and kept me on edge for most of the film, constantly unexpected new things throughout.
Defiantly recommend!

Absolutely awful!
This looked like it had so much potential - an interesting storyline and Milo Ventimiglia in a leading role. Read more

I'm not crazy over Milo Ventimiglia's work and only know him from the show Heroes in his role as Peter Petrelli. Read more

Not bad but not great!
Watched this film on Sky box office last night. Yes it was a bit different to the usual horror film offerings but somehow it just didn't really work and was rather cringe worthy... Read more

i wasn't even gripped to the screen
I'd heard this would be a corker of a film but when I started to watch it I suddenly realised it was a pretty dull and undemanding movie. Read more
