Autopsy (2008)

This movie feels like an episode of The Twilight Zone at times, but it has one of the best lines I've heard in a horror film lately. One guy asks for some antibiotics because a guy bled in his mouth (after an automobile accident) and the creepy nurse guy says, "Did you ask him to?" Awesome.

Oh, and Robert Patrick is in it. Yes, the T-1000. Also awesome.

This is, all in all, a sufficiently creepy little hospital horror movie. Weird things happen, the workers at the hospital are suspicious characters that make you wonder what's going on even as you realize that you don't want to know, and the mystery of exactly what the heck is going on is enough to keep you watching. There are a lot of horror movies set in hospitals, but most of them are straight ghost stories; this one is different and has a bit of mystery (which I think most horror movies could use more of, instead of just getting in your face with obvious situations and tired endings that you see coming a mile away). And one final tip? If you're taken to a hospital in the middle of the night and your friends start disappearing, you should run. Especially if you see the T-1000.
