Ten Days of Terror!: Anatomy

Film: Anatomy(Anatomie)
Format: Streaming video from Tubi on Fire!

There’s something inherently disturbing to me about secret societies. Anything that is shrouded in that kind of deliberate mystery is something that gets my hackles up. Add in the idea of medical malfeasance and the exploration into the world of forbidden research, and you’ve got something that is almost certainly going to be something I find disturbing. That’s where we’re going with Anatomy (Anatomie in the original German). I often find medical things difficult to watch. Once I started this up, I knew it was going to be something of a rough ride for me.

Paula Henning (Franka Potente) is a medical student with a long pedigree—her father is a doctor and her grandfather had a long tenure as a medical professor. She is accepted to a prestigious summer course at the University of Heidelberg where her grandfather taught. On the train there, she saves the life of a young man named David (Arndt Schwering-Sohnrey), who claims to have a serious heart condition. A few days later, David shows up on one of the slabs in Paula’s class.
