Wikipedia article
'Autopsy' (original Italian title 'Macchie solari', also known as 'The Victim' and 'Corpse') is a 1975 Italian giallo-horror film directed by Armando Crispino. It achieved a 'cult' status for its truculent morgue scenes. The Italian title translates as 'Sunspots'.
Plot
During a rash of unusual suicides in Rome that scientists theorize are being caused by sunspots, a young female morgue doctor (Mimsy Farmer) is told by a priest that he thinks his sister was murdered, although he is being told she was a suicide. They team up to investigate the cause of his sister's death.

Critical reception
Allmovie wrote, "This creepy whodunit [...] offers a few chills but is ultimately unsatisfying."
Marco Giusti feels that the film, like all films by Crispino, is a little slow, a little boring.
Rob Talbot wrote "You really do wonder what youve let yourself [in] for when this one kicks off, but itll certainly make you sit up and pay attention, whether you love or hate it."
