Anne (2018) User Reviews

An attempt at... who knows what.

[mjsreg · 3/10 · 20 May 2019]

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.

Seriously? What was this...?

[paul_haakonsen · 2/10 · 14 February 2019]

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".

Worst. Movie. Ever

[bliam138 · 1/10 · 13 June 2018]

I'm serious. There is 0 even remotely interesting moments. Dreadful. I cannot give enough reasons to not waste your time with this.

WHAT !!

[tonybeatson-901-440249 · 1/10 · 21 April 2018]

Watched this film last night ,its 1 hour 20 minutes of my life i can never get back , my father was watching with me is still in shock ,think he might never watch another film that i suggest to him ...starts off slow then gets even slower if that is possible made an hour and half seem like a month of Sundays ...avoid at ALL COSTS !!

The most worsest movie ever

[estherdamiano · 1/10 · 3 July 2018]

Too depressing to watch. Too dull, too slow. Make no sense. Again too depressing

This is what you get...

[ubdb-85089 · 26 January 2019]

When you are allowed to make a movie with your new iPhone... I bumped it up one star because of the cuteness of Natalie Pitcher.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[MikeHunt1075 · 2/10 · 10 March 2019]

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.

Could Have Been Really Good

[ladymidath · 3/10 · 21 April 2021]

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.

MOST STUPID PIECE OF GARBAGE EVER DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!

[mandymoorexx · 1/10 · 30 April 2019]

Some old woman who has an obsession with dolls and watching television, then at the end shes apparently been dead all this time?? this movie made absolutely no sense stupidest movie with the stupidest ending ever, this is a piece of garbage don't waste your time this is by far one of the stupidest worst movies i've ever seen, no storyline, not scary, made no sense, just plain stupid.

One of sceriest movie I have ever seen

[gmjoni · 10/10 · 24 May 2019]

I have seen many horror movies from many region. and I must voting a movie in IMDB for first time because this movie is not getting rating it deserves. I do not understand why movie like Insidious or Conjuring has better rating, perhaps because those movies is kids age rating. If you ever seen any real horror movie who creators know how to create real fear, then you must watch Anne.

Either a brilliant portrayal of loneliness a mind quietly gone mad or a load of silly twaddle with an old lady and her dolls

[Foreverisacastironmess123 · 6/10 · 24 March 2019]

Well this was certainly a weird one! Very strange and unsettling, all atmosphere and virtually no real content or story, just an obviously insane old lady named Anne living her dreary day to day existence in her lonely old house in the presence of her collection of creepy dolls which she alternately dotes on and is cruel to, while growing steadily worse in her mental state until she needs a live-in nurse who seems to have a sinister agenda of her own... I really didn't get this, it felt like it could have been either really sad and tragic or really scary and psychologically disturbing if they had tweaked the plot a little, it feels like it's going somewhere but it doesn't, and the abrupt ending which comes out of nowhere is highly unsatisfying and aggravating, it really lost me once the nurse arrived and the old lady died and she didn't bother to tell the son about it and then she was in cahoots with the other son to get the house or something, whaaaat?? Lol it's like thin gruel, there's nothing you can really take from it, they should have just gone for the gusto and had the dolls come to life and eat the old lady after she buried the one doll that she decided she didn't like, at least that would have been something! Slightly enjoyable as a very weird meditative 'art' piece on loneliness and uh..how dolls can be seriously creepy if you get a lot of them together in one place, about the best thing about it is some very nice and creepy footage with said dolls. Too bad really, there was faint potential for some real horror somewhere, and I have actually seen a lot worse. Very odd, left me frowning and befuddled, it was a thing I watched though, that much I can say for sure! X

Ever wondered what it would be like to follow a slightly deranged senior for a few days?

[virtuafooty · 4/10 · 1 October 2020]

...well here's the answer.

My favourite bit was either watching her eat breakfast or when she did the dishes.

Pure drivel.

There's NO Hope for this movie

[mjvdkleut · 1/10 · 4 June 2019]

I don't even know where to begin. I think the majority of the 'real' reviews speak for me. Started watching this with my wife....we weren't even 15 minutes in and opted to turn it off , watch a Hallmark Mystery movie, then, eat a brownie, and return to this flick, in hopes that it would be more entertaining.... We fought to stay with it to the end, and then promptly regretted doing so. As been said by other reviewers, avoid this movie. Even if you are remotely curious, just DON'T. A whole lot of WTF going on, and none of it entertaining, or artistic. Don't let Nick prune your shrubs...he sucks at it. Don't let Hope have a local tv show, she sucks at it. Don't let Sarah care for your elderly, she sucks at it. Don't let Kyle sell your house, he sucks at it. Nuff said.

Make it stop

[ImdbAllowsLeftwingExtemistBots · 3/10 · 4 July 2019]

Do you know what would really improve this film?

Dialogue. Or events. Or pace.

This film has none of those things.

On the plus side, I'll give it 3 stars because it's practically the only film I've seen in the last two years where far left politics haven't been unnaturally inserted

So very, very bad

[morticiap · 1/10 · 11 May 2019]

If you have problems, your hamster died,, your uncle stole your bike and you want to see Robert de Niro in a wig and a dress, eating cereal and dancing with dolls, this movie's for you. Have fun

so boring...

[benzmendozajr · 1/10 · 29 May 2019]

I felt asleep while watching this...please don't give a shot..

Don't bother

[janfost-85628 · 1/10 · 3 May 2019]

This movie does not even deserve a 1 out of 10.. one of the worst movies of all time

Don't watch this

[ukheather · 1/10 · 12 November 2020]

Absolutely horrific. No way anyone can enjoy this. Nothing even ok to say about this. It's beyond horrific.

Watch a wall, more interesting than this awful film

It's twisted, but I did knit while viewing

[nsugamori · 8/10 · 25 February 2019]

My mom is insane and sits doing nothing all day everyday . She has the same hairstyle. The actress pegs crazy as bleep. Yhe dolls are a good reflection of 1930 composition (they crack) and early plastic dolls (1940-1950). If you enjoy torturous continuous tension- this is IT! There are gross scenes... I covered the screen with my hand up sideways near my eyes. I DID peak. The ending is a satisfying convolution. It leaves a little for the audience to argue. To appreciate the crew's tongue in cheek: you must wait PAST the credits to meet each doll. Ha ha! Classic.

So I enjoyed it- but you cant be off your ADD meds watching this crawler. So. Accurate crazy. Plot twist. Teaser ambiguity...gross scenes. Yup. HORROR!! You dont need to meet my mom after meeting Anne.

Abysmal

[tim-worthington-489-386890 · 1/10 · 1 May 2020]

This has to be the worst film I have ever sat through, and I've seen The Amityville Cinema!!!! Please don't waste your time on this garbage

Weird

[wandernn1-81-683274 · 3/10 · 3 January 2020]

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.

Scariest movie I've ever seen

[annieapple-07209 · 10/10 · 2 September 2018]

After reading the other reviews, I am writing a one for the first time because this movie is not getting the credit it deserves. I watch horror films constantly, and am always disappointed that movies don't try hard enough to create fear. Horror movies usually seem to throw in tons of money, some sexy actors and actresses, create a storyline about a perfect life that has been intruded on with a couple of jump scenes and a cringy ending. Its great to finally watch a movie where it's creators understand how to create genuine fear, right down to the lack of narrative to make us feel uncomfortable. If you want to watch another expensive jumpy horror movie with a cgi monster then don't watch this, but any 10 second clip of this movie creates more fear than any other horror film/franchise could ever dream of.

BEST MOVIE EVER!!

[kaiidek_lol · 10/10 · 20 December 2023]

This is the best movie ever hands down 10/10. I really enjoyed this film it was produced so well and everything came together beautifully. This movie is so scary i had nightmares of this last night! This movie is a remake of the exorcist but wayy better! I cannot get this out of my head all day today, i need a night light in my room before i go to sleep. I dont think i could ever look at a doll again to this day after seeing this horrifying movie "Anne"! I really do recommend this movie to anyone who likes the genre "horror" this movie really impressed me and looks like a high budget movie. The acting is incredible im just so amazed how this movie turned out. Especially that part where the son came to Anne's house and they had a party and was laughing and giggling was my favorite part! The music is incredible so well done. There was medium violence, i do not recommend to kids!! This should be a 18+ movie. I will not be able to sleep again.
