This is interesting. I lower budget gorefest that I expected to love because it was so cheesy and instead end up liking because it is actually good! I love B rate cheese fest horror movies, and thought this would be another.... but.
This story is well written and not too far out of the realm of possibility. Sure at some point hospital security or what not would have noticed bodies being moved into an empty wing and incinerated yada yada yada. However, it is believable that some forensic doctors might go crazy and do some of the things in the movie.. especially with all the drugs/alcohol these doctors were consuming.
The acting is overall pretty good. The only performance that was kind of flat for me was the professor that mentors these students. The doctors themselves all did a fine job and were really believable.
Was there too much gore and gratuitous sex as others have mentioned?? Let's put it this way, there was enough gore, but not too much. Not for the squeamish, but not over the top either. And I only remember 3 sex scenes, one of which had no nudity whatsoever and the other 2 had quick flashes of breasts only. These scenes were instrumental to the plot and not there just to show nudity. There are a couple of scenes of dead women with their breasts exposed but what do you expect in a morgue? And it's nothing more than you would see on National Geographic or Discovery Channel.
Overall I give this movie props.... surprisingly. Now for the Gargamel Scale : 1 for nudity, 1 for story, 1 for acting, there were no car chases.. so 0 there, and no gunfire/explosions, but there was lots of killing... so I'll give a 0.5 there. That's 3.5 total for you non-math majors. That equates to a 7 on the IMDb 10 point scale.
This movie season is finally starting to get better!
