"Anamorph": Dafor goes daffy over artistic serial killer . . .

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

This Netflix (2007) film is about a serial killer who specializes in artistic, graphic murders. After 5 grisly murders Dafoe and his detective team break into his house and kill him in the process of arrest. Well, let's just say the trigger fingers were a tad aggressive on entry. Dafoe has many Monk-like OCD tendencies and has a thing for chairs. Peter Stormare is his antique chairman and a real light in this story.
Well, five years hence the murders start again! Same MO and scary like the "Uncle Eddie" murders of yore. The cry of 'copy cat' goes up and the weirdness resumes.
I really liked this as it blended weird art with murder and some of it is real butcher shop. Dafoe never plays a cheezy film so don't worry about production values or script.
Gets a plus four for the weirdness. Not streamable.
