Watch Anomaly For Free

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

ANOMALY is another vapid indie horror flick with little to recommend it to the discerning horror fan. Ostensibly about a case of supernatural possession, this is instead a talky drama in which the characters incessantly drone on and one until the running time is complete. It's clear that the director is hoping to make a film in the same vein as THE AMITYVILLE HORROR but his efforts are in vain with all of the phenomena talked about rather than shown due to budgetary constraints.

I watched this movie because it was on Amazon prime and the poster looked interesting. Do not judge a book by its cover, as the saying goes. The story is a basic ghost movie. The script doesn't make sense sometimes (I can't really explain without spoiling, but there are several scenes where the characters do or say things no real person would do or say in the situation). The only reason I give this movie a 2 and not a one isn't the movie poster (real streaming bait, this kind of things should be illegal), but the fact this movie might become good entertainment if you watch it with some friends drinking and laughing at it (oh, every scene with the priest...). Because, it's not only badly scripted, but ridiculously acted too. I can't really recommend this even as "so bad it's good" kind of movie, however, as some slow scenes are painful to sit through. Don't watch.

There's really no foothold to gain in order to redeem this film; none other than watching it for a laugh. Bad cinematography, bad editing, bad acting (the male character above all others) and what's more important, bad storytelling. The scenes with the priest were the ones where we laughed more hysterically: the one where the guy budges around as if he was annoyed by a mosquito rather than a demon takes the cake. (MEMO: bring insecticide rather than holy water next time.) Oh, don't forget to take a look at the fake 10 star reviews here on IMDb for an additional laugh.

I am dying to know how this big old POS rated 7.1 stars (out of 10, no less). It has got to be one of the worst movies to ever make release. I have absolutely nothing against "low budget." Sometimes that's all you have to make your film, but low budget doesn't have to be awful as well. A couple and their brood move into a house. Yawn. The wife giggles constantly and just seems to be high on life (gag), while the husband runs the acting gauntlet from A to B. Those who played the children got on my nerves something awful. Whomever narrated this piece of do-do displayed absolutely NO emotion. It's obvious the "house" was some long-abandoned dwelling the producers of this mess just happened upon. The walls and doors were FILTHY. As I was watching, I kept thinking why are you bothering to put up pictures, curtains, or anything else when it is obvious the damn thing needs painting? That is how distracting this was. You can never tell when it's light or dark. I suppose they couldn't plug in more than one lamp at a time for fear of a fire. Of course all the "demons" appear after sis and brother dig out a Ouija Board. Ain't we beat that horse to death yet? This was a total disaster from all angles. However, I'm sure the people involved can get their money back by working an extra shift at Denny's. Awful, just awful.
