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.

Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

A serial-killer flick told like an art lecture, Anamorph manages to be gruesome yet dull.

Kyle Smith, New York Post

The long shadow of David Fincher's Seven falls on Anamorph, a moody, ultimately unexciting thriller.

Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News

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.

The serial killer in Anamorph shows promise, even if some of his best moves are derivative. The same is true of the film's director.
