Paul Lê Bloody Disgusting While Anatomy is remembered as a Deutsche stab at the Scream formula, Ruzowitzky’s film is far less straightforward than a basic teen-slasher. Rated: 3/5 Jul 23, 2023 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews German made horror/slasher pic that rocks, as it makes the viewer uncomfortable. Rated: B Sep 6, 2014 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 9, 2005 Full Review Apollo Guide Rated: 68/100 Mar 16, 2004 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews [Anatomy's] premise is so strong and so creepy, that it keeps the film afloat even during its conventional slasher movie conclusion. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 11, 2002 Full Review Patrick Byrne Apollo Guide Rated: 68/100 Sep 10, 2002 Full Review Read all reviews

Gerald H Pubertärer Scheissdreck. Liebe Regisseure: wann seht Ihr Euch mal einen Spielbergfilm an und kommt zur Erleuchtung, dass all Eure erbärmlichen Sexszenen völlig sinnlos und oft sogar völlig kontraproduktiv sind? Unpassender filmscore/soundtrack zusätzlich. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/25 Full Review JJJJJJ J An okay film overall that is in some ways a bit of a mixed bag. It has some really good parts and some of... lesser quality. Some truly, truly beautiful shots, and some where you can see the microphones.... The film does get better as it goes. There is some straight up ridiculousness to the plot towards the beginning but like I said better as it goes on. This film does not take it self to seriously which helps the film. Overall I really think this film is worth a watch for fans of horror genre. It breaks away from much of the cliche subject matter of many eurofilm's giving it enough depth to warrant a watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoyed the film, I think it was done in German and instead of adding subtitles they've replaced it with english which lets it down. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Young Franka Potente is very cute and resolute as ace medical student uncovering the least secret Secret Society in movie history. Starts with some promise but gradually loses all credibility as things like missing students, massive bloodstains, and psychotic pseudo-surgeons are never noticed by anyone on a university campus. How can so many smart people act so dumb? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty cool German horror flick. Cool idea about a secret society of doctors experimenting on live bodies, for the betterment of mankind. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A SCREAM-kind of slash, in German. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
