Review of Pathology (2008) by Jaredc. — 16 Apr 2008
Milo Ventimiglia (of the blockbuster TV series Heroes), headlines this dark crime thriller, which marks the sophomore directorial outing of Marc Schoelermann, following the 2006 telemovie Hexxx. Ventimiglia portrays a young intern, newly arrived at the University Hospital in Philadelphia, who stumbles onto a psychopathic group of colleagues playing a vile game.
They regularly select one of their members (on a rotational basis) to commit the "perfect murder," while the rest use forensic methods to try to determine exactly how the homicide was executed.
Alyssa Milano (of TV's Who's the Boss? and Charmed) co-stars as Ventimiglia's fiancée, while thesps Johnny Whitworth and Lauren Lee Smith are among the perpetrators. Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (of Crank fame) scripted.
With its sensational mood, Pathology is one of the most enthralling and compelling films this year, so far. And with that spectacular "David Cronenberg" plot, Pathology scores high momentum in the movie score.
From revisiting the frequent 2008 movies, there's not much of a selection, or if you want to go see Prom Night than be my guest. But Pathology was mind-twisting, stomach,gushing, and heart-pounding hothouse gripper.
So far, it's bound to win for Best Picture. Highly recommended.
