No more interesting than any standard episode of "CSI" or any of the other myriad of cop-centric whodunits polluting our airwaves.

Consensus: Thin on plot but heavy on academic references, Anamorph proves more derivative than terrifying.

Reviews for Anamorph
O 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.
07/10/08
Anamorph dances around ponderous issues and grotesque scenery but fails to really engage, startle or disturb.
06/19/08
A 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.
05/10/08
Director 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.
05/02/08
Top CriticSure, it's better than 88 Minutes [what isn't?] but it's still pretty pointless, with unclear exposition and murky plot developments.
05/01/08
Weirdly positioning serial killing as a depraved form of creative expression and the victims as signature works of art, Anamorph has the odd effect of simultaneous repulsion and fascination.
04/27/08
A movie about a premise that metamorphoses into twaddle.
04/21/08
On a scale of one to Se7en, Miller's doomed rip barely rates.
04/18/08
This serial killer movie is nothing but a copycat.
04/18/08
The unfortunate fact is that it's more than a little dull when it isn't preposterous.
04/18/08
A serial-killer flick told like an art lecture, Anamorph manages to be gruesome yet dull.
04/18/08
Top CriticThe long shadow of David Fincher's Seven falls on Anamorph, a moody, ultimately unexciting thriller.
04/18/08
Top CriticAn academic thriller likely to engage only avid collectors of serial-killer flicks.
04/18/08
Wears its influences...a little too heavily on its sleeve. But it does effectively convey a lingering sense of dread that can't be easily dismissed.
04/18/08
Top CriticThe atmosphere created by director H.S. Miller is gothic, tortured, stylized yet tinged with a classicist's sense of composition, symmetry and, yes, perspective.
04/18/08
Top CriticThe serial killer in Anamorph shows promise, even if some of his best moves are derivative. The same is true of the film’s director.
04/18/08
Top CriticCompelling as it often is, Anamorph feels positively cloddish next to David Fincher’s Seven or Zodiac, with which it shares a fondness for shadowy rooms and dimly lit obsessions.
04/17/08
Beyond its cool, reflective surfaces and infinite plays with perspective lies nothing -- character, relationships, motives all seemingly irrelevant.
04/17/08
Top CriticA pale imitation of David Fincher's Seven.
