Some of the best paranormal flicks ever released are set in the most intimate of settings with just a handful of performances on show. The Autopsy of Jane Doe is one such example of this in action. A 2016 paranormal film starring Brian Cox and Emil Hirsch, The Autopsy of Jane Doe kicks off at the scene of a multiple homicide and sees one of the victims, a young unknown woman, being taken to Tommy and Austin Tilden who begin an autopsy.

Taking a lot of inspiration from the likes of The Conjuring franchise, The Autopsy of Jane Doe really succeeds in creating a paranormal flick that feels like a return to the pure basics. The mystery behind the woman, her identity, backstory and grizzly fate, all come together to ramp up the suspense of the opening acts, and culminate in a finale that is stacked full of fantastical and bloody moments.

A homage to the classics and undeniably terrifying throughout, The Autopsy of Jane Doe gives audiences one of the best collections of performances and delivers on the feeling of being trapped in thanks to its squashed in settings.
