IFC Films' has released the first trailer for André Øvredal's stranger follow-up
to Troll Hunter, The Autopsy Of Jane Doe.
The film stars Brian Cox as Tommy Tilden and Emile Hirsch as his son
Austin. The two run a family-owned morgue and crematorium in Virginia. One
night, the Sheriff brings in the corpse of
an unknown woman found in the basement of a home where multiple
homicides took place, and it is up to the father and son duo to discover what
happened. But as the examination unfolds and unnatural forces take hold of the
crematorium, the two seasoned veterans begin to question how dead this
mysterious woman really is.
Also starring Ophelia Lovibond ("Marvel's Guardians of the
Galaxy"), The Autopsy of Jane Doe opens in theaters and VOD on December 20.
In André Øvredal’s follow-up to his acclaimed 2010
found-footage monster mockumentary Trollhunter, he moves from the
wide expanses of the Norwegian woods to the enclosed space of a small-town
morgue. It’s a slow night for father-son coroner team Tommy and Austin Tilden
(Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch) when a hauntingly pristine female is brought in.
And, as their regular forensics routine gradually reveals, this Jane Doe,
who was discovered in the basement of a massacred family’s house, is not your
usual corpse—and her presence turns their evening into a terrifying fight for
survival. A fresh, unusually character-driven tale beautifully and jarringly
told, Øvredal’s English-language debut keeps you squirming in your seat, in
large part because Tommy and Austin’s relationship is so endearing that you
can’t bear for anything bad to happen to them. An IFC Midnight release.
