Autopsy (original Italian title Macchie solari (lit. Sunspots), also known as The Victim and Corpse) is a 1975 Italian giallo-horror film directed by Armando Crispino. It achieved a cult status for its morgue scenes.

Plot

During a rash of unusual suicides in Rome that scientists theorize are being caused by sunspots, a young female morgue doctor (Mimsy Farmer) is told by a priest that he thinks his sister was murdered, although he is being told it was suicide. They team up to investigate the cause of his sister's death.

Cast

Critical reception

Allmovie wrote, "This creepy whodunit [...] offers a few chills but is ultimately unsatisfying."

Marco Giusti feels that the film, like all films by Crispino, is a little slow and boring.

Rob Talbot wrote "You really do wonder what you’ve let yourself [in] for when this one kicks off, but it’ll certainly make you sit up and pay attention, whether you love or hate it."
