Was drawn into seeing 'Anonymous 616' with a cool poster/cover, a very intriguing if not creative premise and as someone with a general appreciation for horror. That it was low-budget, which from frequent personal experience is rarely a good sign due to that there are so many poor ones out there, made me though apprehensive.

'Anonymous 616' is a film it doesn't do enough with its potential (although there are far bigger wastes of potential in film) and could have been much better. 'Anonymous 616' is very weak with a lot of big problems. It certainly could have been far worse, considering the large number of films seen recently being mediocre at best and terrible at worst.

Lets start with the positives. The setting is atmospheric and spooky and 'Anonymous 616' is surprisingly well shot and easy on the eye, was expecting a cheap looking film and to me that wasn't the case here.

'Anonymous 616' has some suspenseful and creepy moments in the first third and it started off on a fun and intriguing note.

Albeit, there is nothing new here, it's all familiar territory and executed in old-hat fashion. The second half also takes itself far too seriously and gets incredibly idiotic, a very completely different film feel here. The creepiness dissipates completely fairly early on, with the horror and tension being nowhere near enough. Things start not making much sense and gets silly, with one of the most ludicrous and easily foreseeable plot twists ever. The acting

Further issues are that it was clear that it was written in haste. There is a very rushed and careless feel to the story, especially in the second half where confusion and choppiness can be found in editing and narrative, and the underdeveloped and scrappy script likewise. Then there is some padding and aimlessness that also gives the film a dragging sensation. The characters are flimsily developed, annoying and bland, the direction lacks focus and the music and sound editing are far too intrusive and obvious.

In summary, weak. 3/10 Bethany Cox

Awakening in a bloodsoaked apartment, a man struggles to regain his memory of what happened the night before and gradually recalls the series of events that caused him to go on a crazed rampage through his friends and then races to prevent any evidence of the crime from getting out.

Overall, this one wasn't all that bad of an effort. One of it's strongest attributes is a wholly intriguing and mysterious setup that gets this going on a strong note. Seeing the aftermath of the carnage and being forced to relieve what happened is a rather common setup here yet this one manages to work in some rather enjoyable elements here by going about it with a decent setup. Looking at the apartment with the dead bodies strewn around the room covered in blood while he also has plenty of splatter on him as well, there's a definite need to know more about what happened the night before that gives this a fine setup to get going. Likewise, the flashbacks to the party the night before and what happened there are rather enjoyable. From the friendly banter and catch-up stories that start this off on nice mark as it seems like a genuine gathering of friends, the party that transcends into the more horrific elements featured here is a fine start that makes for a truly disturbing outcome when it all plays out. These scenes of him going through the motions and taking out the anger and frustration that occurs here is built entirely around the brutality and carnage that occurs here as the psychological impulses governing him allows for some really intense moments throughout here. Coupled with a fine professional gloss for an indie film and some decent gore, these here are what really work for the film. There are some minor problems with this one. The biggest issue here is the actual motivation for why the snap occurred and sent him on his spiral, which just makes no sense whatsoever. The fact that it's from a serious of anonymous messages over the computer from an account that he doesn't know, has just one session with and then suddenly turns into a pedophile capable of killing people or spouting off the threats about the past that he does is purely coincidental and means very little to the film itself. It's not explained why he feels this way, what about the messages send him over the edge or what the entire purpose is supposed to entail. That also brings up the other major issue with the film in that once he snaps, it's really not that interesting anymore. Since the purpose of why he snapped isn't that intriguing, seeing him engage in these activities has no meaning. The continuous ranting, raving and cursing of everything that happens just becomes bland and repetitive, and being so matter-of-factly in their execution that the only thing that registers is the actual carnage and torture being inflicted since nothing else is really all that interesting. With a final twist that makes the entire experience all the more laughable, these here are what hold this one down.

I didn't know what to expect from this. When it got going I'm sorry but i was laughing my butt off. The lead character was a pretty good actor but the dialogue was hilarious. Even when horrific things were going on I was laughing. When everyone was gone I was disappointed as I knew it was pretty much over from here. i wasn't terrified at all. It was pretty much like campy, dark humor to me. That's where they should of kept it. I could not for the life of me remember the correct name. I'm glad I found it as I wanted to see others comments. I'd watch the first hour again for the laughs.
