What are critics saying?
A no-holds-barred, thoroughly generic follow-up to the medical horror-chiller that wowed German wickets in 2000.
L.A. Weekly by Hazel-Dawn Dumpert
German filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky sticks to the formula that made his 2000 thriller Anatomie a German hit, offering up a whos who of young German stars and plunging them into hot-and-cold color schemes, freewheeling camera work and diabolical master-race conspiracies. If Ruzowitzky were as good a storyteller as he is a stylist, hed have something.
