Pathology

Stupid arrogant psychopath teenage mind professionals total waste of time

This is interesting. I lower budget gorefest that I expected to love because it was so cheesy and instead end up liking because it is actually good! I love B rate cheese fest horror movies, and thought this would be another.... but. This story is well written and not too far out of the realm of possibility. Sure at some point hospital security or what not would have noticed bodies being moved into an empty wing and incinerated yada yada yada. However, it is believable that some forensic doctors might go crazy and do some of the things in the movie.. especially with all the drugs/alcohol these doctors were consuming. The acting is overall pretty good. The only performance that was kind of flat for me was the professor that mentors these students. The doctors themselves all did a fine job and were really believable. Was there too much gore and gratuitous sex as others have mentioned?? Let's put it this way, there was enough gore, but not too much. Not for the squeamish, but not over the top either. And I only remember 3 sex scenes, one of which had no nudity whatsoever and the other 2 had quick flashes of breasts only. These scenes were instrumental to the plot and not there just to show nudity. There are a couple of scenes of dead women with their breasts exposed but what do you expect in a morgue? And it's nothing more than you would see on National Geographic or Discovery Channel. Overall I give this movie props.... surprisingly. Now for the Gargamel Scale : 1 for nudity, 1 for story, 1 for acting, there were no car chases.. so 0 there, and no gunfire/explosions, but there was lots of killing... so I'll give a 0.5 there. That's 3.5 total for you non-math majors. That equates to a 7 on the IMDb 10 point scale. This movie season is finally starting to get better!

Just wasted some of my life watching this pointless rubbish. I was not going to comment. But I know sometimes I read these reviews and wish they could have warned me. If you are a horror buff who hates, Hostel, Freddy vs Jason and similar genre. Avoid this crap at all costs. It is a gore with no meaning. Which In my opinion takes away all the impact. It is unbelievable as a story and the scenarios are stupid and childish. Arguably teenage. I would say childish is an unfair word for this movie. Because children can have interesting and creative ideas. I say this is teenage because I feel it reminds me of spoilt white western teenagers. Rallying against their terrible lives. And trying to be dangerous and threatening. When all they need is a good hard days works and a slap. This is spoilt Peaches Geldof style girls and Metro sexual weaklings, pretending to be scary. And just coming across as laughable. Also it has you rooting for a completely morally devoid bastard. Evil people do not walk around being evil. Most dangerous people want to blend in. I watched No country for old men after this. It proved to be the exact opposite of this trash. It showed how to really portray threat and fear. This is junk cinema, avoid Also want a good scare ? Then steer clear of this

Pathology, a slow-burning, atmospheric, slickly-filmed thriller, is the second most original movie of the year, second only to Cloverfield. However, Pathology is the better of the two films simply because of its terrifying subject matter and the very dark humor that is sometimes over-the-top. Milo Ventimiglia, Alyssa Milano, and Michael Weston are the front-runners in this horror/thriller, expertly directed by Marc Schoelermann and written by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the writing team behind the hugely underrated Crank. Harvard Medical School graduate Dr. Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia) arrives at one of the nations most prestigious Pathology programs and is quickly noticed by the program's privileged and elite band of pathology interns who invite him into their crowd. It is also here where he is introduced to Dr. Jake Gallo (Michael Weston), who brings him to a secluded wing, where he and four other indulge in there after-hours, extra-curricular activities...finding ways to commit the perfect murder. As Ted's life spirals out of control, he has to worry about the job as well as his engagement to Gwen (Alyssa Milano). The acting is top-notch and 100% believable, helped along nicely by the layered script with witty and realistic dialogue. On the surface, Pathology may appear to be a fun, quick, and forgettable popcorn flick, but it has a very subtle and deep message that is hard-hitting and relevant, especially in today's chaos-riddled times. My favorite performance of the cast was obviously Milo Ventimiglia, who completely stole the show every single time he was on screen. His boyishly good looks only serve to strengthen his charisma and delivery of each line. He makes Dr. Grey feel like a real person with such a realistic performance. And of course this is without mentioning the sensational sex scenes, riddled with numerous shots of Ventimiglia's gorgeous and tan behind thrusting in and out. It took courage to film such scenes, and I applaud him for such a spectacular performance. He carries the entire movie on his shoulders, and he has proved without a shadow of a doubt that he really has what it takes to be a great leading man. I hope he gets more roles that are as layered and difficult as this one. His last film, Dirty Deeds, was a fun guilty pleasure, but it was almost instantly forgettable and the writing was very faulty. He was hilarious and memorable as Bo, the gay jock, in Wes Craven's 2005 werewolf romp, Cursed. He has apparently stepped up his game since Heroes, and I can't wait to see what other films he has on his slate. Alyssa Milano, who is most widely known for her role in Charmed, does a great job here, although she gets a very minimal amount of screen time. Michael Weston, who I loved as the creepy car-jacker in Six Feet Under, was great in his role as Jake Gallo. Throughout the course of the movie, he basically goes completely psycho and Weston pulled it off beautifully. He hasn't been in many mainstream hits, and it's almost a shame that more people haven't seen this incredibly underrated actor. The directing was slick and intriguing, never getting repetitive, but always keeping it interesting. All of these actors give off some of their best performances, and it's strange because a lot of them are TV actors. This further strengthens the argument that the quality of TV shows has greatly increased since the 2000's, with people who can actually act taking the main roles. Pathology was one of the best thrillers I've ever seen and it's well worth your time if you're a lover of the horror genre or just plain interested in medical proceedings. There is a huge level of realism, and even the gore looked very real. This is a movie not to be missed. Seek it out in its limited theatrical release, or check it out when it hits DVD shelves! You won't be disappointed.

I went to see this movie without any prior expectations (I hadn't seen the trailer). After a slow start the plot progressed steadily and managed to hold my attention despite Milo Ventimiglia's "smell the fart" acting. The copious amounts of gore seem excessive in the beginning, but generally add to the overall "shock factor" of the movie. Along with some in your face, sometimes slightly disturbing, sex scenes, this film is definitely NOT FOR THE LIGHTHEARTED. Without giving too much away, this movie relies upon a classic mentor/apprentice rivalry. Despite being involved in sick extra curricular activities, main character Ted Grey manages to hold the viewer's empathy. The climatic ending of the film leaves you feeling satisfied yet a little sick in the stomach.

Ted Grey (Milo Ventimiglia) joins the pathology department at a major New York hospital. He quickly discovers that some of the pathologists have a deadly game--they kill people in devious ways and see if the other pathologists can figure out how. Jake (Michael Weston) draws Ted deeper into the "game" and things slowly get out of control. To say this movie is disturbing is putting it lightly. The sick game the other pathologists play is disgusting--but it seems somewhat plausible. Seriously--who KNOWS what happens to your body after you're dead? Also the sequences of them cutting open dead bodies takes a strong stomach to get through. Aside from Ted the movie doesn't have one likable character (I especially hated Griffin) and they're mostly played by unknowns. The only name in the cast (Alyssa Milano) has a very small role. On the plus side this is VERY well acted (Ventimiglia, Weston and Lauren Lee Smith are exceptional), well directed and I was never bored. There's also quite a bit of female nudity and Ventimiglia bares his butt but NONE of it is remotely exciting in this context. And, thankfully, this is the first horror movie in a long time that doesn't have any of those stupid "jump" scares. Grim, depressing and just great--one of the first good horror films in a long time. I only give it a 9 because if you look at it closely it doesn't hold together. Still--well worth catching. Let's hope this entire cast makes it big.

I like tasteless movies, sexy movies, twisted horror movies and I also liked Crank, which was penned by the writers of Pathology. So, I was looking forward to this one. If you imagine the Lost Boys, crossed with CSI, Saw, throw in some Cronebourg type sex and that should give you some idea of the concept behind Pathology. Sound good doesn't it? Now imagine a team of brilliant young doctors who are also serial thrill-killers who go into a psycho-sexual frenzy when performing post mortems on their colleagues victims. Not terribly plausible you may think. Now can you imagine an even more brilliant young doctor joining the hospital, he's arrogant, he's the top guy from Harvard, he's loaded, and within minutes he's a serial thrill-killer who goes into a psycho-sexual frenzy when performing post mortems on his colleagues victims. Having trouble? Incredibly, it's even more ridiculous than it sounds. But completely unbelievable is not completely unforgivable. My real moan is that no one is likable, and there is clearly no attempt to make anyone remotely sympathetic. So the reasoning behind purpose this can only be for the gore and the kinky sex. This would make it an exploitation movie, which I normally love. So what's the problem? Well, it's the "level of unlike-ability". Everyone is so detestable, that it goes beyond the type of movie where you're waiting patiently for characters to be get naked or be bumped off. Here they take you deep into the realm of the really bloody irritating. Everything about them makes you hate them so much that their faces become more and more punchable as the minutes crawl by. Their witless babbling and pseudo-philosophy grates on you so much that their frenzied pervy couplings just make you glad they've shut up for a minute. Borders on unwatchable.

I was very intrigued to see this film. I was impressed by how real it was on many levels. It started me thinking about human nature, ethical limits, and our ability to influence those around us. I disagree with those who say it was gross for effect as working in the medical field, one knows that this is a part of life that people would rather not be aware exists. I see it all the time, It is reality --just not in such a condensed form. There was an intelligence about the film that ALMOST blossomed. But I soon became frustrated when it couldn't decide if it was a love story or a psychological thriller. The actors they chose were very believable character actors, no CW actors here. I've been following most of their careers. Props to casting. There seemed to be a lot of research to make this film realistic as usually when I see a medical type show, I can tell when the actors are just swinging around tools and don't know the last thing about them. Not the case here. That being said, I don't understand why one would go through the trouble of casting a great group of actors and talk about "The Game" they are playing and then show "the game" in a goofy quick shot type form? I was up for the ride. The part with the Pimp and Michael Weston, reeled me in and I thought that the plot would continue with this type of precision with the other characters. But instead I was left guessing what was the glue that brought this group together? Alyssa Milano is beautiful and I think she was right for this part but there was this dreary tone to her scenes that should of been the bright spot of the film. I wanted her to light up Ted Grey's life! Wrong choice for the film makers in my opinion to not showcase her with a more positive slant. But some amazing scenes, amazing speeches by most of the actors especially Michael Weston who just jumped to my top male actor list to watch, just confusing. Yes, I'm confused.
