    • Trivia
      The Norwegian director André Øvredal was inspired to do a horror movie after attending a screening of The Conjuring (2013). He immediately called his agent and told them that they should try and find a good horror script for him. A month later they showed him this script and he was immediately interested.
    • Goofs
      Jimson Weed, Datura stramonium, is believed to have originated in Mexico, not New England, and can be found throughout the United States, (including the South and West,) and the rest of the world. The plant also has no paralytic properties, though ingesting it can cause seizures, strong hallucinations, delirium, tachycardia, hyperthermia (high body temperature), mydriasis (dilated pupils), bizarre behavior, and death.
    • Quotes

      Emma: What's that for?

      Tommy: To make sure he's dead. There used to be a time it was hard to tell a comatose person from a dead one, so coroners tied bells to everybody in the morgue. So if they heard a 'ting', they knew somebody down there wasn't quite ready to go.

      Emma: So, why do you have one?

      Tommy: Well, I'm... I'm a bit of a traditionalist.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the "Special thanks" section, the last entry is the single word: "Troll". André Øvredal's previous feature film was Trollhunter (2010).

    Creepy, Claustrophobic and Scary
    While investigating the murder of a family, Sheriff Sheldon (Michael McElhatton) and his team are puzzled with the discovery of the body of a stranger buried in the basement that does not fit to the crime scene. He brings the corpse of the beautiful Jane Doe (Olwen Kelly) late night to the coroner Tommy Tilden (Brian Cox) and requests to have the cause of death until the next morning to have an answer to the press. Tommy's son and assistant Austin Tilden (Emile Hirsch) is ready to go to the movie theater with his girlfriend Emma (Ophelia Lovibond), but he decides to stay to help his father in the autopsy. Along the stormy and tragic night, they disclose weird and creepy secrets about Jane Doe.

    "The Autopsy of Jane Doe" is a creepy, claustrophobic and scary low- budget horror movie. The screenplay is very well-written and the tension increases as long as the mystery about Jane Doe is discloses by the coroners. The limited use of special effects is another plus in this little gem. My vote is seven.
