David (Edgar Fox) is a schizophrenic in the care of Dr. Robert Emett Friedhoff (Lluís Homar). When David commits suicide, the doctor is interrogated by Special Agent Maia Kensington (Christy Escobar)who is legendary. David filmed much of his life and some of the feature is found footage.
For the most part, the feature was boring. At 30 minutes something interesting happens, at an hour the backstory suddenly fills in, which didn't really make things more interesting. The ending has a twist which was more confusing than entertaining.
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

Not what you expect from this kind of movie
Schizophrenic David Jacobs (an inexperienced Edgar Fox) seeks treatment from a psychiatrist Robert Emett Friedhoff (an old Lluís Homar) who treats him using experimental methods. When Jacobs is found dead in his bathtub, suspicion falls upon Friedhoff.
Maia Kensington (a young Christy Escobar) leads the investigation, confronting Friedhoff with evidence from Jacobs' increasingly erratic video diary.
As the sad tale of Jacobs' death unfolds, the audience must decide: is this just another case of schizophrenia gone wrong, or is it... ANOMALOUS?!
I rate Anomalous at 23.31 on the Haglee Scale, which works out as a mildly deranged 7/10 on IMDB.
Be careful, you don't know who is watching
I usually don't watch hybrids films, but I must say that "The veil" with Jessica Alba, and "Ejecta" were incredibly good and kept me in front of the screen untill the end. So I decided to give "Anomalous" a chance.
And it didn't disappointed me.
It is very good.
For me, was creepy and the story kept me on since the very beginning, and I did wanted to know what was going on?
Some things were predictables, but the end? dude, that was a good end! and even I was know how it would end, it was a little surprising.
So, I recommend this.
The worst: it need more expanded supernatural mythology (it deserve it) and the docufiction part (or mockumentary, if it please you) it was a little slow.
The best: acting was pretty good! good story, very creepy atmosphere, and surprisings jumpscares. Great end.
8/10
Watch at your own risk.
