The Autopsy of Jane Doe, a supernatural horror movie from 2016, has one of the most complicated witches in horror movie history. This is also the first English-language movie that Norwegian director André vredal has made.
Austin and Tommy Tilden, played by Emile Hirsch and Brian Cox, are father and son coroners who have to figure out what happened to an unknown woman’s body. As soon as they start looking for a cause of de@th, the two are confused because there are no obvious signs of trauma.
Austin and Tommy keep looking inside Jane Doe and find strange things and scars that they can’t explain. They notice that the scars on her organs and the burns on her lungs can’t be explained because there are no visible signs of these things happening.
Also, Tommy finds a Jimsonweed, which is a paralyzing plant that doesn’t grow naturally where they are. As they dig deeper, they find a piece of cloth with sigils and Roman numerals written on it and a tooth wrapped in it.
They find out that the sigils were used to get rid of her evil spirit, that the Roman numerals show that the year was 1693 and that the Jimsonweed is native to the Northeast. During the Salem Witch Trials in Massachusetts, Jane Doe was accused of being a witch.
How the New England Puritans tried to k!ll the witch is shown by the scars on her organs, the fact that her tongue was cut out, the burns on her lungs, and the drug that made her unable to move.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe’s Witch and Her Powers
When Tommy finds out that Jane Doe is a witch, he thinks about how wrong the witch trials were. He tells Austin that most of the women who were tried and found guilty of witchcraft were innocent and were blamed because of what the children said.
Jane Doe wasn’t a witch at first, but her accusers were so cruel that she turned into the angry spirit of a witch. She was t0rtured so badly that Jane Doe became a symbol for all the innocent women who were k!lled in Salem, and her body still lives to get revenge.
The moment Jane Doe was t0rtured is when she got her powers. The passage from Leviticus that is written on the cloth she is wearing is meant to condemn witches. Since she wasn’t a witch, the fact that she was tried for being one turned her into one. She wouldn’t have turned into a witch in the first place if the prosecutors hadn’t forced the cloth down her throat.
The body of Jane Doe will get back at anyone who tries to take away her body’s freedom, whether it’s through an autopsy or some other way. She stands as a symbol of how cruel the Salem Witch Trials were.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe gives a unique look into the brutal workings of one of America’s oldest supernatural stories. It also gives a modern spin on the stories about witchcraft and one of the darker times in American history.
