 Serial Murder Thriller December 21, 2008
The Movie Man (Maywood, New Jersey USA)
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
"Anamorph" focuses on veteran NYPD detective Stan (Willem Dafoe), who's drawn into a gruesome case involving a string of ghastly serial murders perpetrated by a killer who commits his crimes as an artist. As he investigates the killings, Stan finds he must confront his own deadly past. With each murder, the investigation takes a different, uglier turn. The closer he's drawn to the murders, the closer Stan comes to being a victim himself. The R-rated film has the look and feel of such movies as "Seven" and "Saw," with disturbing images and a sustained mood of pessimistic gloom.
Dafoe is hardly the perfect casting for a guy who may become a victim. He simply looks too rugged, too intimidating. But the script isn't bad, director H.S. Miller creates suspense, and the New York City setting has a sinister look reminiscent of "Taxi Driver." The title refers to anamorphosis, a painting technique that manipulates the laws of perspective to create two competing images on a single canvas -- a conventional image and a deformed version that appears when the work is viewed in some unconventional way. The DVD contains no extras.

***1/2 2007. Written and directed by Henry Miller. Five years after having killed Uncle Eddie, a serial killer, Det. Stan Aymard is asked to find another serial killer who likes to draw paintings with the blood of his victims. A treat for Willem Dafoe fans, ANAMORPH tells the improbable story of a killer piling on artistic considerations. The story and the mood of the movie are not very original but the study of Willem Dafoe's character could lead you to discover this film. Recommended.
