Stan is a quiet, solitary detective in New York City. A few months ago, he solved a gruesome case of serial murders, although an undercover police officer lost her life. A new set of similar murders begins: the bodies are elaborately displayed and the killer uses equipment from art and early movie making in the tableau, or he leaves a clue as to where the investigators are to stand to get the full artistic effect. Stan is paired with a younger detective, Carl, whom he brushes off when Carl wants to get to know him. As pieces fall in place, it's a race to prevent the next killing, quite possibly someone close to Stan.
Leave your thoughts about Anamorph.
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonA visual treat for Dafoe fans that goes well beyond the conventional horror genre into questions of reality and fantasy and how, or if, we tell the difference. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzCreepy, turgid and cerebral mind-game serial killer flick. |
| Los Angeles CityBeatAndy KleinSure, it's better than 88 Minutes [what isn't?] but it's still pretty pointless, with unclear exposition and murky plot developments. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaO roteiro carregado de clichés desperdiça o que até poderia ser uma premissa interessante, ao passo que os esforços estilísticos de Miller soam patéticos, como uma imitação barata dos trabalhos de David Fincher. |
| Boxoffice MagazineJohn P. McCarthyAn academic thriller likely to engage only avid collectors of serial-killer flicks. |
| New York PressMark PeikertA grimy, ugly film about death and the living dead in New York City, without the redeeming ambition of Seven or even the cultural commentary of Summer of Sam. |
| Dread CentralJohnny ButaneNo more interesting than any standard episode of "CSI" or any of the other myriad of cop-centric whodunits polluting our airwaves. |
| Slant MagazineNick SchagerSuspense is something foreign to Anamorph. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleDirector H.S. Miller thinks he's made something broodingly visionary when you're more likely to be aesthetically shaken up by one of Mad magazine's Fold-Ins. |
| User ReviewMike PThis movie was awesome. A little Gory, but awesome! |
