Milo Ventimiglia plays Ted Grey, a cocksure young doctor who joins a group of brilliant medical students at a university path lab where he immediately locks horns with the equally arrogant Doctor Jake Gallo (Michael Weston). Grey soon proves his mettle in the autopsy room, successfully pinpointing the cause of several mysterious deaths; impressed by the newcomer, Gallo and his lackeys invite Ted to join them in their twisted extra-curricular activities, which include playing a sick game that sees each player takes it in turn to murder a low-life so that the others can figure out how they died.
Pathology could be one of the most preposterous horrors I have seen, but although any sign of plausibility flat-lines early on, I have to admire the film for its extreme sense of perversity; with a cast headed by Ventimiglia of TV Series Heroes, I fully expected this to be a teen friendly piece of crud, but it actually turns out to be a surprisingly sick puppy!
Written by the guys who gave us outrageous actioner Crank, this movie is absolutely demented from start to finish: between the opening credit sequence (the disrespectful treatment of a pair of stiffs by the 'psycho-paths') and the very gruesome ending, we witness a visit by Ted and Jake to a knocking shop (where the proprietor is pimping his own grandmother), crack fuelled orgies amidst autopsy patients, S&M sex between Jake and his sexy girlfriend Juliette Bath (Lauren Lee Smith), more sex between Ted and Jake's sexy girlfriend, lots of grim, gory and gross goings-on in the path lab, plus we also hear Alyssa Milano talk dirty and get to see her dirty pillows!
I don't care how asinine a film's plot gets, with that level of deviancy going on (and Alyssa's boobs), you can colour me entertained!
