Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Suspenseful entertainment -- but it's also a suitably chilling cautionary tale.

Variety Derek Elley

A no-holds-barred, thoroughly generic follow-up to the medical horror-chiller that wowed German wickets in 2000.

LA Weekly Hazel-Dawn Dumpert

German filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky sticks to the formula that made his 2000 thriller “Anatomie” a German hit, offering up a who’s who of young German stars and plunging them into hot-and-cold color schemes, freewheeling camera work and diabolical master-race conspiracies. If Ruzowitzky were as good a storyteller as he is a stylist, he’d have something.

The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt

Where the first film was something of a teen horror film, the follow-up, again from writer-director Stefan Ruzowitzky, is more of an unintentional comedy.

TV Guide Robert Pardi

Ruzowitzky concentrates on delivering on sporadic scares at the expense of figuring out how to make individual scenes coalesce into a coherent chiller about medical megalomania.

Leif gave it a 7:
I liked this movie - not as much as the first anatomy, though. I disagree that the movie is uninventionally funny - Was it funny? sure, I thought so. I don't think that in a wierd, strange movie like this it is easy to judge if the fun is interntional or not. I liked both anatomy 1 and anatomy 2 for being wierd, chilli, funny and total non-sense.
