A group of medical students devise a deadly game: to see which one of them can commit the perfect murder.
"Pathology" gets washed up onto the shores of DVD land this August with no apologies or academic excuses for its graphic, violent and at times distasteful content. And, in all honest truth, why should it apologise? By the title alone, any reasonably worldly cinema goer or viewer of Silent Witness would know that this film isn't going to be about sunny walks in the park. Unfortunately what the title doesn't tell you (but the BBFC consumer advice does) is that pathological procedures are now the excuse for a bunch of bright young doctors to get high on drugs, take part in blood-stained sadomasochistic sex or indulge in manic wall-splattering gore-fests. All of these activities are explored in staggering detail, and usually at the same time, making the whole film feel like one long orgy of the depraved and demented. And yet, in all of this madness, there is still some enjoyment to be gained. The insane but strangely beguiling plot stems from watching bonkers but brilliant pathologists take part in their own deadly, intellectual game of inventive killing. This game follows a charming pattern of hunt - kill - dissect, as in turn they try to perform undetectable murders for their colleagues to work out. Caught up in the middle of the body bashing is Ted Gray (Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia), who becomes deeply involved in the after-hours games of his co-workers. The deeper he gets, the more he starts to doubt what kind of person he really is. However, after viewing the ridiculously horrific final scene, the audience is left with little doubt. This is far from being "buy it now" movie heaven, but you may find yourself going along with the mayhem (even if you do feel culpable afterwards). It isn't going to win Oscars, and it's not something to show your timid Auntie Dora, but it aims to thrill, and does it passably well.
