Personally I think Pathology is just a horror movie for horror's sake. The writers and directors wanted to scare the audience through the characters' perverted psychology and bloody scenes, but I personally don't think they did a good job of either.
As far as the perverted psychology of an individual is concerned, the perverted is not enough. If there is no trigger point, they are nothing more than playing with corpses. I think the director should portray this kind of psychology more deeply through some details.
For the handling of bloody scenes, I think it's just good, but it can't be called a superior work. The so-called perfect bloody treatment should not make people feel sick, but should make people feel a kind of fear from the heart, a kind of provocation to the animality of human beings. The gore scene in Pathology doesn't do enough, but it's also novel. The shots of poop spraying in the abdomen and throwing the brain on the scales, for example, feel very novel.
To sum up, I gave Pathology a mid-level review.
