Anne

Well, first of all I had not even heard even the slightest about the movie titled "Anne" prior to stumbling upon it by sheer random dumb luck. I looked at the cover and deemed it a horror movie. I didn't even read the synopsis for the movie, which I might should have done in retrospect.

In defense of the movie, then I will say that the movie's cover/poster definitely is interesting and serves as a lure quite well, because I was hooked and wanted to check out the movie.

This movie might be labeled "horror", but wow, it was anything but horror. Well, at least the mindboggling 25 minutes of the ordeal that I managed to sit through before I gave up out of sheer boredom. The movie felt like a random conjured series of events handed to director and writer Joseph Mazzaferro and then he had to put something together.

And that he did, but it was just not something that impressed me, captivated me, entertained me or made me want to stick around to finish the movie. I didn't care an ounce about the storyline, nor about the main character. It was definitely not the fault of actress Gail Yost, but she seriously had been given nothing in terms of a proper storyline, script or a character to work with.

The music in the movie was abysmal, and it was so ill-suited for a movie of this kind. It was really misplaced and out of tune with whatever mood that the director was trying to establish with this project.

I gave up on the movie 25 minutes in, and I can honestly say that I am never returning to watch the rest of the movie, because I couldn't care any less about the movie and everything in it. So if you like horror movies, then you are far better off with anything else aside from "Anne".

I found Anne on Tubi and it looked interesting, creepy dolls, creepy old woman living alone. Sadly it couldn't seem to find its feet. The music is at times annoying but other times atmospheric, the acting is off and the movie drags on so much. The story itself is interesting but the execution is just bad. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this move but I just couldn't. I could see where the cast and crew really tried, the photography and sound where quite good but that's the only real compliment I can give to this film.

Any review here giving more than 5 stars is fake. This is the most boring movie I've seen this year. Barely any dialog, and tries too hard to be some artsy-fartsy creepy movie, but just starts as a snore-fest and never picks up the pace, then dies off even slower than it began.

This film isn't a horror at all. In fact I'm not sure what it is supposed to be.

It seems to be a low budget film, and it shows. But this (and the moments of poor acting) could be forgiven if the story was interesting - which it isn't.

I can see the concept of the film and what the makers were trying to achieve but it doesn't come through in the production.

According to the description the guy is supposed to be unfolding the 'strange truth' about Ann's illness - but he hardly features in the film, and what he is supposed to be doing is far from clear.

This is a film that tries to be something it isn't and ends up being quite a tedious watch.

I was going to give this one 2 stars but the ending was actually unexpected so I'll give it an extra star for that. Agree with the featured reviewer it was a 'tedious watch'. Nothing scary. Just Bizarre.
