    • Trivia
      André Øvredal said that Olwen Catherine Kelly had the most difficult role in the film, and he credited her with making everyone else comfortable on the set.
    • 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 Troll Hunter (2010).

    A little gem that gets underneath your skin ...literally.

    This movie is like a well wrapped present. You might have an idea what it is, but you can't really be sure before you unwrap and open it.

    The music and overall ambience quickly tells us it is going to be dark, scary and bloody. As the movie progresses we are introduced to the aftermath of what seems like a slaughter within an ordinary home.

    It quickly takes a turn as the body of an unknown woman (Hint: Jane Doe) is discovered in the basement. Partly burried, but in mint condition.

    ... wuush we change location an meet the main characters, a father and son, both coroners. Lucky as they are, they get a new patient(?) - well a body. This is of course the Jane Doe and as they begin to cut her open, the well wrapped presents presents itself as a true and horrifying horror film.

    The father and son-relashionship makes us care for the characters as they try to discover the dark and creepy truth that lies beneath Jane Does skin.

    I really liked. I even made this review ... It is worth your time. Watch it with your lads or perhaps on a second or third date .. a winner ;-)

    Enjoy - I did.
