Goofs
After Jane Doe's body is brought in to the morgue on a trolley/gurney, Emma leaves. The exterior shot showing Emma's car drive away shows the drive was blocked. There is no room for an ambulance or any other vehicle to have passed Emma's car, nor is there enough room to have pushed a gurney up the drive to the house. See more »

Without spoiling this movie, let me sum up my impression after I just finished watching "The Autopsy Of Jane Doe". I went out without seeing the trailer, so I thought it was a police/detective movie at first.
But it didn't take long for us to realize it was a horror movie.
Acting : excellent. Bryan Cox and Emile Hirsh play a very believable pair of father-son, working at the family morgue.
Story : very different from the usual horror movies. I appreciated it, as I grew tired of the same ghosts, zombie, vampire stories.
Directing : smart use of the shadows without being excessive.
I highly recommend it.
