Reviews:
“At over an hour and a half long this feels very drawn out and has all kinds of pacing issues […] Shawn and Jacob are likeable idiots, and their larking about raises a few laughs, even if they do overplay the dumb and dumber hand a bit. But the whole thing needed to be a bit less amateurish and much more tightly edited to hold the attention.” Dark Eyes of London
“Anna has a funky script, perfect audio, great gore effects from Gerald Crum, good acting and a special hook […] It’s got a higher body count than I expected for a movie like this. It’s got some nudity in it. And it has that independent quality to it that fans are going to love.” Horror Society
“Mainstream horror fans craving big-budget studio pictures are out of luck on this one. That just isn’t how most indie horror features roll. Fans who enjoy fun indie comedic horror that somehow retains a creep factor will thoroughly enjoy Anna.” Pop Horror
“As the film heads into its second act there are enough redeeming features in the form of cool creatures and practical effects to at least save it from the ignominy of being dubbed as a total failure. I’d still struggle to recommend it, even to the hardcore DTV aficionados among you…” The Schlock Pit
