Anomalous is the story of a strange interrogation between a mysterious government agent and a suspicious psychiatrist concerning a supernatural event. The doctor's patient, who much of the story revolves around, recorded many of his unexplained experiences, lending an element of sinister found footage to much of the story. As more of the story is revealed, the relationship between the characters become more complex.
It's a low budget movie but it does a good job showing what it needs to tell a story and the special effects are well-used and effective. The main performances are good, particularly that of the patient.
There are some rough edges, like the role of the police assisting the investigation, that could have been explained better and just seem sort of off tone. Unfortunately, the ending was too unclear. I wasn't sure what I was supposed to infer from the last few scenes. I can see that the intention was to be mysterious but it was kind of disappointing that they made that choice after so much intriguing set up. Overall, it was better than I expected and often surprisingly engaging but ultimately unfulfilling.
