MPAA RATING: R for disturbing and perverse behavior throughout, including violence, gruesome images, strong sexual content, nudity, drug use and language
Starring Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Weston, Alyssa Milano, Lauren Lee Smith, Johnny Whitworth, Keir O'Donnell, Dan Callahan, and Mei Melancon
Some say that the field of pathology is a window to God. Pathologists see the perversion and corruption of the flesh by all means unnatural...by violence...by toxin...by madness...to determine the cause of death. As a result they are the experts in all signs of foul play, and the best in the field can uncover all means of killing, even those that are seemingly undetectable. When medical student Ted Gray graduates at the top of his class, he joins one of the nation's most prestigious pathology programs. With talent and determination, Ted is quickly noticed by the program's privileged and elite band of interns, who invite him into their crowd. Intrigued by his new friends, he begins to uncover secrets he never expected and finds that he has unknowingly become a pawn in their dangerous and secret after-hours game at the morgue of who can commit the perfect undetectable murder. As Ted becomes seduced into their wild extracurricular activities, the danger becomes real--and he must stay one step ahead of the game before he is the next victim. (MGM)

This movie is only to be watched by guys. Excessively VIOLENT. Not much of twist or interesting ideas.
Jay H. gave it a5:
This is certainly not for the squeamish. It is well made, good photography, nicely edited but it's an unpleasant film with shallow characters. A lot of style, but not much substance.

A superb dark thriller starring Milo Ventimiglia as a smart yet confused young doctor pulled into a life of crime and coruption. Made by the creators of Crank, this movie is one of the best movies ițve seen.It takes a rather original and cruel perspective and it unleashes it in the most violent manner. Great movie.

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.
