Netflix has just added a brilliant thriller no one seems to be talking about

Holding an 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes, the movie was once praised highly by Stephen King.

In the film, Cox plays Tommy Tilden, a small town coroner who - along with his son Austin (Emile Hirsch, Speed Racer) - is tasked with determining the cause of death of a mysterious woman over the course of a night.

As the pair conduct their investigation on the Jane Doe's body, they begin to experience increasingly bizarre and nightmarish phenomena.

The thriller was directed by horror maestro André Øvredal (Trollhunter, The Last Voyage of the Demeter) and also stars Ophelia Lovibond (Minx) and Irish actor Michael McElhatton (The Hallow).

And with its creepy and unique premise, its constant air of an unease and its typically brilliant central performance by Cox, The Autopsy of Jane Doe certainly earns its 86% score on Rotten Tomatoes and then some.

Horror legend Stephen King also praised the movie for rivalling "Alien and early David Cronenberg" in terms of its visceral thrills.

And yet, despite this acclaim, the film did not get a massive cinema release, only earning $6 million at the box office.

Hopefully it will find a bigger audience now that it is on Netflix.

RogerEbert.com: "The Autopsy of Jane Doe is basically a great haunted house movie - the house just happens to be the morgue."
