Apparently, pathology students gravitate towards psychosis and meth induced orgies. At least these ones do. This is an entertaining, suspenseful movie with a fresh premise. It has a few good surprise turns and is thrilling without excessive gore or jump scare tactics. There are definitely some holes though. Most notably, imperfect murders and free for all access to the facilities so our gang can party til they puke. I also found it hard to swallow that our hero fell into the craziness so effortlessly. I would have liked to have seen a little more resistance on his part. It's a good flick though. Give it a watch.
After seeing an advanced screening, this film honestly delivered more than expected. Not being a fan of the gruesome torture-porn films so wide-spread in recent years, nor of the writers previous film (utterly ridiculous, in my opinion), I had reservations going in. Not in regards to the abilities of the cast, but as to how the concept of the film would be handled on the screen. The first 10 minutes, while well done, gave me pause as to whether the filmmakers would get beyond showing how extreme and outrageous they could be to an actually engaging story. In the end, I found the graphic and brutal nature of some of the scenes to support the development of the story and it's well drawn characters as well as the effective exploration of the darker potentials of the human psyche. My final impressions were of the solid performances of the cast and how the film was able to accomplish making the outrageous and often twisted ways of its characters seem both natural and plausible given the context of the story. I highly recommend giving this film a shot, even if it isn't a genre you'd typically see.
I was very surprised and a little disappointed to see the low IMDb rating this film has thus far (6.1/10). While the movie is definitely not for children, nor for those adverse to blood/gore, nor for those disturbed by scenes of kinky sex; for the rest of us this is an entertaining movie with lots of morbidly amusing moments.
After a freakish opening scene Alyssa Milano kicks off the movie moaning "F*$% Me..." The story then quickly progresses to the mortuary where several morbid scenes of pathologists ripping open bodies while cracking jokes and playing with body parts occurs. And thats just the beginning.
The cinematography is excellent and the setting is superb. The storyline and plot are mostly predictable with a few surprises thrown in. The acting is decent, nothing great yet nothing that detracts from the film. The dialog is well-written and morbidly amusing at times. This is by far the best film I've seen Alyssa Milano in although she has a relatively small part.
Pathology is pure escapism, glorifying sociopathic behavior while reveling in money, sex and power. A wildly entertaining film from a relatively newbie director.

Hi friends - I'm going to be honest here, PATHOLOGY really impressed and surprised me. On the surface PATHOLOGY seems like a fun, silly, popcorn movie (from the writers of CRANK) in the vein of FLATLINERS or ANATOMY however, excellent direction, great photography, and solid performances really elevate this little horror/thriller and make it so much better than I (and I'm assume you) could expect. It's a shame that MGM hung this movie out to dry in the theaters but I'm guessing it's because they didn't know how to market it. You see: PATHOLOGY is kind of immoral, mean spirited, filled with sex, and features some great medical based gore my (and I'm assuming your) kind of movie but certainly not an easy sell. I guess at it's core PATHOLOGY is a fun, silly, popcorn movie but it's executed so well that it rises above the rest of the trash in the theater right now (4.20.08). So check this movie out I think you (and you) will like it.
All pathologists know is smoke crack, be bisexual, murder deviants and lie
If the phrase "extremely horny edgelord Final Destination" means anything to you I urge you to watch this movie

- TriviaIn order to prepare for their roles, several cast members watched a number of real autopsies.
- Goofs(at around 1h 21 mins) When Ted is performing Gwen's autopsy, the entire time the body block (under her neck) is left in place which would have made the autopsy difficult. Usually the pathologist will place it under the back, causing the arms and neck to fall backwards to stretch and push the chest forward to make it easier to cut open.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: Halfway through the end credits, the film cut's back to Dr. Ben Stravinsky looking at his watch, counting down the final seconds of a poison taking effect.
- Alternate versionsThe German version was cut by four minutes in order to secure the "not under 18" rating from the FSK and avoid being indexed by the SPIO/JK.
