TV stars Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) and Alyssa Milano (Charmed) make a rare jump to the big screen in this gruesome thriller about unorthodox fun and games in a morgue. Ventimiglia is a med-school grad who discovers a perverse sleuthing game at his new hospital job--one member of a gaggle of fellow residents is selected to carry out a murder of an "undesirable," and the others must determine the cause of death. Since Ventimiglia's own bedside manner is only slightly north of amoral, he falls in quickly with the homicidal crew, only to discover that it's less easy to extricate one's self from the competition. Filmed with an appropriately clinical eye by German director Marc Schoelermann, Pathology suffers from a riotously bad script loaded with clunky dialogue and an unpleasant premise which is mined solely for the opportunity to show scene after scene of autopsies and post-mortem surgery. Gorehounds may groove on its blithe ugliness; all others will wonder why they should be asked to care about the fates of such one-dimensional and mean-spirited people. --Paul Gaita

 Pleasantly Surprised December 14, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this movie on a whim...and I'm *so* glad that I did! I don't like really scary movies, but mental trips are fun. While this one seemed to be lacking a necessary turn or two to make it a complete mental mind screw, it was still a pretty excellent movie. It had just the right amount of gore to not make me icked out, but still had plenty of "darkness" to keep me interested. Definitely buy this!
The lesser of the two evils!!! November 24, 2008

This movie follows Ted, a fresh internship grad into his first year at a very unorthodox pathology program. The stellar student soon falls prey to an unusual "game" being played by the "best" in the class. Can he recover from this?
This movie was a pleasant surprise because the intensity did not let up, and had several plot twists that were predictable in some aspects, but how it got to it was different. Ted is not the typical good guy by anymeans, and despite some of the things he does during the movie, I found myself sort of hoping he would "win" the game. He is the lesser of two evils. I highly recommend seeing this movie if you like psychological thrillers.
 It's OK. November 23, 2008

I'm not crazy over Milo Ventimiglia's work and only know him from the show Heroes in his role as Peter Petrelli. He's good in that role but I still find him annoying with his raspy "look how mysterious I am" voice and his floppy bottom lip. I just can't take him seriously and although he does seem to be trying to branch into more prominant acting roles, he's still that annoying Peter Petrelli. Michael Watson who's the general catalyst of the whole movie I only know him for his short part in season 5 of House M.D. as the private investigator. I like him in that and generally like him all round, he would have suited the lead role much more than Milo, but there you have it.
Pathology tells the story of Medical student Ted Grey (Ventimiglia) who's just graduated top of his class and has been accepted onto the most prestigious pathology program in the country. One of his fellow Pathologists Jake Gallo (Weston) indulges Grey in their extra-curricular activities which is to commit the perfect murder. This is the point where the movie gets interesting as it's not just a competition were creepy pathologists go killing, it turns into an orgy of sorts as part of the game. It involved death, disection, drugs and just wild and filthy sex. It gets into a bit of a creepy storyline that can hold your attention throughout so I guess that's a big plus. Throughout the murder games, Grey becomes acquainted with the fiancé of Gallo and this turns the movie into a whole different ball game.
It starts off as one of those movies we see a lot of recently which generally seems to be of the "gorno" genre, but it turns into a genuine thriller/horror that becomes in some senses quite disturbing. It's a dark film with a relatively dark setting, with most of the craziness of the movie taking place in the dark autopsy room. On further reflection I guess Milo isn't as bad in the role as I originally thought, but there could have been a better choice. I would recommend this to those fans of the horror/thriller/"gorno" genre but this may not be for everyone.
Neat and Gross, all at the same time! October 18, 2008

This was neat and disgusting all at the same time. Half of you wants to keep watching while the other half goes "oh my god?!" and wants you to look away. This is an interesting look at life and death through the context of a murder-mystery thriller. Fans of Milo V. should check this one out and those who want a different movie experience and are not weak of stomach should watch this one. Overall: B+/A-
Pathology the Thriller October 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Pathology is a great thriller movie. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing the entire movie. There are some gory parts in the movie BUT they are not too gory or too overdone. If you love medical shows then I recommend this movie. This movie is a hospital morgue gone WRONG. Pathology is definetely creative and twisted but it is a new movie with a new plot. I highly recommend Pathology if you like a good thriller. Also you can't forget the great cast including Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes) and Alyssa Milano (Charmed).
