I understand this is a low budget film.. that being said independent films need to make up for money with originality and spirit. Cookie cutter plot and flat acting accumulating towards ...nothing. We continued watching out of sheer amazement. Movie date night has had some real doozies in the past but nothing so empty and sad as 'anomaly'. The cast looked downright bored during key moments. The director Succeeded in demonstrating he has never spoke with any law enforcement official or clergy member. The director wanted to play it safe. Regurgitate "The Exorcist" climax and make money. No vision required.If you have ever complained about Hollywood just making the same -old movies than you will not enjoy this train wreck.

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 had to give this film a 10 star rating. Being In the horror genre myself, this film was extremely well put together from every aspect. Quality of the film is awesome, actors were very believable to convey this story. Extremely well done. I am happy to see the quality of horror film coming back, it has been a long time waiting, since the classics. Too many people want to make a horror film and disregard quality, and this director brought quality back to viewers. Excellent. I was more than pleased to watch this film. No cheesy editing and sound was superb with incredible actors. A must watch! I would have to agree with a previous review. I would like to see a sequel to this film.

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.
