Reviews

Anamorph is a loving ode to the wilfully nasty serial killer flicks of the 90's, obviously borrowing heavily from a few specific ones, the clearest example being Fincher's Sev7n. It's got the same dank, dispirited tone of that one, a restless urban nightmare wherein one lone detective searches for a heinous murderer that seems to elude him every step of the way, leaving increasingly grisly crimes in his wake.

This is one odd murder mystery of a movie and it kept me riveted to the plot line. And the plot and the action and the characters can be a bit of a challenge to keep pace with.

When it comes to cinema there's nothing I like more than stumbling across an independently made film with an intellectual story, an interesting cast and a fresh director. Anamorph is a psychological thriller that ticks all these boxes and combines them with a great premise, the only problem here is that the premise has been poorly executed.

This story deserves a better director. Someone who understands the subject very well.

This film is thriller and horror film. Actually, I watched this film for Willem Defoe.

Some films are intentionally ambiguous leaving the final interpretation up to the viewer while others simply fail to tell a cohesive story causing the viewer to invent all kinds of theories about what the film was trying to say. Anamorph falls into the latter category.

This film is basically two hours of Dafoe's character drinking himself - nearly literally - to death. The only surprise in this film is that you didn't have enough clues or character knowledge to be surprised.

Very entertaining "psychological puzzle thriller" without any violent action scenes but with graphic crime scenes. The pace of the movie is slow at first but begins to pick up midway through.

You must be seeing my comments over many films under Evren Buyruk ..I am off to make another comment over a movie that is not even worth a minute of talking though..
