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.
