Anamorph, directed and written by Henry Miller, stars Willem Dafoe, Peter Stormare, Clea DuVall, James Rebhorn and Amy Carlson. The movie is a unique combination of drama, thriller, and crime. The film will be released on 18 April.

Anamorph focuses on different murders paralleling them with the life of veteran cop Stan Aubrey (Willem Dafoe). As the killings and cases of shootings continue in New York City, Aubrey’s partner Carl Unger begins to suspect that Aubrey didn’t do his due diligence five years ago when he announced that he and his five people had killed a murderer.

This case begins to haunt Aubrey to the point when he confronts the possibility he has been dreading and denying ever since.

News Blaze reports that Anamorph takes the notion of art and warped imagination to homicidal extremes.

Weirdly positioning serial killing as a depraved form of creative expression (through seeming artistically-driven destruction) and the victims as signature works of art, however psychotic that may sound as a fantasy in its own right, Anamorph does have the odd effect of simultaneous repulsion and fascination.

According to Empire Movies, the murders are a paean to the mysteries of anamorphosis, where different perspectives reveal hidden meanings for Aubrey and direct him as he tries his best to find the killer.

For the crime scenes resemble those of a previous serial killer who terrorized New York City before being tracked down and killed by Aubray and his men five years before. That case has haunted Aubray ever since, and something about these eerie copycat killings—seemingly planned and executed with him in mind—force him to reexamine the questions he’s tried so hard to bury.

Here is the official trailer.
