Anamorph brings art to homicide scenes this December

Disc Announcements, News

The art of killing is brought to the next level with the upcoming Anamorph. What artist is terrorizing the town? The folks at Genius give a hint in this press release:

SANTA MONICA , CALIF. (September 8, 2008) – Delve into the dark, mysterious world of a deranged serial killer as Genius Products presents the intense psychological thriller Anamorph with Academy Award®-nominee Willem Dafoe (Upcoming in Daybreakers and Fireflies in the Garden, Spiderman, Platoon ), Scott Speedman (Upcoming in Adoration, The Strangers, Underworld: Evolution ) and Clea Duvall (Heroes & Carnivale). The suspenseful DVD will be available for $19.95 on December 9.

In the gruesome vein of highly disturbing films such as Seven and Saw, Anamorph is based on the concept of anamorphosis , a painting technique that manipulates the laws of perspective to create two competing images on a single canvas – deformed image that appears in their true shape when viewed in some “unconventional” way. Director Henry Miller ( I Remember You Now… & Quitters ) takes this artistic concept to a haunting and terrifying level by weaving together a tale of horrific murder and mystery.

A seasoned NYPD detective (Dafoe) is drawn into a gruesome case involving a string of unusual serial murders, perpetrated by a killer who fashions himself an artist. Haunted by the killings, he soon finds himself confronting his own deadly past. With each slaying, the investigation takes a different, darker turn. And the nearer he’s drawn to the murders, the closer he could become the ultimate victim – or take the fall.
