Very good German Horror Flick. I thought the idea was good and orginal. After watching this movie I am scared to get an operation now. Guess thats not a good thing. It could have been 10 minutes shorter, but I disagree with a previous reviewer that this movie is too slow. It stops the action beacuse they are trying to tell a story. You learn a lot of about the evil people as well as the heroine. Worth watching.

this movie was a kick [butt]thriller thats not even that scary but leaves you thinking if that could really happen!its not mutch of a splater flick wich is a good thing cause most horror movies just put gore to attract viewers. it seemed like an american film but isnt.plus the special features with the anna loos music video for "my truth" is the best!...and the cool thing is there making an "anatomie 2"!

Although this is a horror, the scary live-autospy didnt take first seat here. I felt through out the entire movie that it wasnt its major theme. Im not a big fan of Potente, and never saw her other movies, but im a huge fan of medical thrillers. The "scary scenes" were done so that the audience only got to watch the poor humans face as he contorted as he was beeing cut, not much else, so this wasn't really that scary.
this felt more like one of those scary wanna be teen flicks, and the secret AAA! society wasn't talked about or shown much! This is a pretty weak movie in my opinion, although it had my mom gasping, but shes a bigger scardy kat then anyone else out there. Most of the movies was about mediacl students chasing each other with scalepels and sedatives.......

The majority of people who will see this are probably those seeking out Franka Potente movies (the star of Run Lola Run) and by no means is Anatomy a complete waste. In fact, it's actually pretty good. It's just not good. The story has Paula (Potente) attending a top university to study anatomy, but soon discovers that illegal operations are going on there where innocent people are killed in the name of medical research.
What's really good about this movie is that there are several moments which will actually make you go 'eurghhhh', all of which are nicely set up, especially a horrifying scene in the final sequence. Then of course there's Franka Potente, who proves that she can just about turn her hand to any role (and this kind of praise is surely unusual for someone whose film career is still relatively young). Playing a cute-as-pie medical student she manages to tread the fine line between parody and resourcefulness perfectly. Although this might be her least distinguishable role yet (check out The Princess And The Warrior, a flawed but compelling piece in which she really shows her range), she still manages to give a different spin on the typical scream queen. There's also a lovely performance from the girl who plays Paula's roommate Gretchen, who has a lot of fun as the intelligent bimbo.
With all this it's perhaps a shame that Anatomy so often succumbs to cliché, often without a shed of irony. The sex scene murder is particularly frustrating in a movie that is obviously trying to go for some kind of new ground in its field. Okay, so maybe not new ground completely but at least this is something different when compared to the banal teen horror flicks that have flooded cinemas recently. Borrowing the paranoia of medicine, hospitals and doctors from Coma, this places them in a stylish and impersonal set that works well. It's just so annoying when predictable twists and occassional silliness enters the story - the ending may well have you reaching for the sick buckets.
Still, this is mostly above average fare and is obviously a must-see for a fan of the wonderful Franka Potente. It's slick (which certainly suits the implied insensivity of the medical profession) and will make you jump. Compared to most recent horror movies this is scary and fun, but apart from one superbly mounted murder scene of a principal character, this offers little new, especially when put alongside other international horror such as the original Ring.

I saw this movie solely because it is one of the few movies you can get in America that stars Franka Potente, best known from "Run Lola Run," and it turned out to be a good movie too. Franka Potente is perfect in her role as the somewhat reserved heroine who uncovers an evil scheme in the prestigious medical university in Heidelburg. It was great seeing a foreign horror movie after seeing so many American ones. "Anatomy" is scary because it doesn't use a recycled plot and the movie really makes you wonder about medical science. It's not from Tom Tykwer, director of "Lola," and it doesn't have that post-modern feel, but it's still definitely worth seeing this good, solid horror flick.
