“Doesn’t look like someone broke in; to me it looks like they were trying to break out.”

The Autopsy of Jane Doe opens right at the end of very strong year for horror. There were critical and theatrical hits like The Conjuring 2, Don’t Breathe, and Ouija: Origins of Evil, as well as plenty of noteworthy films uploaded to various streaming sites. I saw the preview for The Autopsy of Jane Doe and it genuinely creeped me out. Directed by Scandinavian filmmaker Andre Ovredal (Trollhunter), The Autopsy of Jane Doe is a claustrophobic, atmospheric, and an overall scary movie that fits comfortably amongst this year’s horror best.

IFC Films has released a trailer for The Autopsy of Jane Doe, the latest movie from André Øvredal, the Norwegian writer and director behind the fun found footage flick Trollhunter.

The movie stars Brian Cox (Braveheart, Super Troopers, NOT Game of Thrones) and Emile Hirsch (Into the Wild, Lone Survivor) as a father and son coroner team dealing with a mysterious new homicide victim.

It’s being reported that Lee Pace has entered into final negotiations to star in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which is being directed by James Gunn (Slither, Super).

Pace is said to be playing the villain in the movie, though it’s not specified who the villain will be yet. The actor was also listed as one of the candidates for the lead role of Star Lord, which eventually went to Chris Pratt (Moneyball, Parks and Recreation).
