REVIEW BY HORROR NEWS!!! What if you had the power to be God? To be unencumbered by the laws of morality as you define who should live or die based on your personal guidelines? A horrific nightmare that would be repellant to the 99.9 percent of us with a working moral compass. Yet, perhaps there is some appeal for the few in society whose compass is long overdue for maintenance. Notably those who are already mentally fractured. This exercise in manipulation with deification is explored in great detail in the low budget gem Anonymous 616 from director Mike Boss and the indie company Nail Driver Productions. Even from the deliberately ambiguous tagline: I’m the one who knows everything about U”, you get the feeling this is going to be something of an existential journey into darkness rather than a routine gorefest. Two couples, old friends, reunite for a dinner after a two-year separation. The host couple suggests that the four try out a new version of the Happiness Pill for a few laughs, a drug called DMT. A mood and mind-altering paradise is promised. Yet, one of the quartet, Jason, is a post-9/11 war veteran who is concealing some damage to his own psyche. After consuming the chemical wonder, he comes across his friend’s computer in another room where an anonymous online entity begins bating him, with knowledge of the secrets Jason has, into taking a God-like approach and acting on his base true feelings about his friends as well as his fiancée Jenna. Jason, apparently, has buried resentments and anger about his friend Eric and Eric’s future wife Kelly and a belief that Eric and Jenna once slept together. Acting on self-release of his rage, Jason kidnaps the others and subjects each to torture, mind games, and murder. But who is pulling the strings on Jason? Is it his own delusional state or a supernatural presence? Boss deftly sneaks in a take on that age-old clichéd scenario of God and Satan warring over an individual. Remember the old cartoons which had a character having a choice to make that involved positive and negative connotations and images of a devil and an angel appearing on either side of them, offering their views? For my age group, it would be the scene from the classic 1978 frat comedy Animal House where Eric Stratton mulls what to do with an unconscious female student he’s carrying in a grocery cart. Images of Eric as both angel and devil appear on each of his shoulders, warring over whether to use the opportunity to have sex. I like that kind of tug-of-war that opens the darkest points of the subconscious for the demons to come out for play. Boss, serving also as scriptwriter, purposely includes vagaries as to the catalyst for events, leaving the audience to make their own conclusions as to who and why. Is it a manifestation of the devil inhabiting the computer and communicating with Jason or is it self as the result of drug-infused hallucination? And I like the ambiguity of the finale where, while not spoiling it for the audience, the question of guilt and who is instigating it is raised. I was quite shocked to find that this was the first feature to be directed by Boss, whose only previous effort behind the camera was the 2015 short Inimicus. Remarkably, he shows a deft skill for a first-timer in setting up shock pay-off scenes and editing the pace just right as to keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. Checking his resume, it seems Boss has somewhat of a keen interest in the study of moral code dilemmas. The Inimicus short, by description, deals with a woman presented with an opportunity to kill her rapist and her brother’s pleas to spare him. Once again, the back and forth between right and wrong. Which wins out in the battle for soul. Have to give the special performance honors in the picture to Daniel Felix de Weldon as Jason. Konstantin Stanislavski promoted the idea of use of face and eyes to express emotion and thought. Don’t know if Weldon ever had the great acting coach on his reading list but he sure does exhibit the tiredness, turmoil and edge of collapse that only someone who has seen far too much can be at mentally in every eye stare. I’ve seen quite a few real war veterans myself who try for that same façade for show. Many don’t do it nearly as well. Daniel is the whole show here really in a central character tour-de-force. The other four characters (Kelly’s teenaged daughter Emily plays a role in Jason’s hidden lust for underage girls) are really merely collateral damage-headed players in the game for his soul. Bella Shepard channels a hint of Lolita with the sexually burgeoning daughter Emily. David Abramsky, Jessica Boss, and Emily Jordan manage to evoke sympathy for their roles as Eric, Jenna and Kelly, respectively. But the camera eye is on de Weldon and he does not disappoint with his riveting presence. If you are seeking ordinary stalk-and-slash fare, look elsewhere. However, if you are wanting something with a twist of the ramifications of role-playing as the Almighty mixed in with the sanguinary goings-on, this is just the film for you. You might want to steer clear of computers that anonymously text you comments such as “I know everything about you” when you walk by them. Can’t be a good thing. - @Monday, October 1, 2018 11:04 PM

REVIEW by Josh Millican of DREAD CENTRAL!!! Anonymous 616 could be course study in a class or clinic devoted to filmmakers looking to make a big impression on a small budget. Basically, it fits the early Blumhouse model: Anonymous 616 utilizes a single location and a small cast; it’s driven by compelling characters and a knock-out story, emphasizing substance over style. At the same time, skillful camerawork and a solid understanding of important techniques give this micro-budget production a professional aesthetic. Barring a single instance of an outdated morphing effect, it could go straight to big screens; a rarity that could find company with films like The Blair Witch Project and the first Paranormal Activity. Since Anonymous 616 is based on a very straightforward premise with a crucial turning-point, I’m hesitant to reveal any plot points beyond the film’s official synopsis as revealed on IMDb: “A reunion between two couples becomes a massacre when one of the guests meets an anonymous person online and willingly becomes a participant on a bloody path to becoming God-like.” The opening will remind well-viewed genre fans of films like The Invitation and Coherence. Like these examples, Anonymous 616 is set at a dinner party amongst a diverse assortment of friends with connections both solid and tenuous; there’s a smattering of cultural background along with subtle differences in economic standings and social status. It seems like the kind of common gatherings we’ve all attended, but there’s a dark undercurrent from the get-go—along with dualities and juxtapositions hinting at potentially explosive combinations. The film hinges on the actors portraying complex and compelling characters with emotional legitimacy—and these aren’t easy roles to play. That’s why no review of Anonymous 616 would be complete without giving due praise to the film’s 4 leads: Jessica Boss, Lena Roma, David Abramsky, and Daniel Felix de Weldon. These may not be full-time actors with name recognition, but all deliver performances that are nothing short of professional. Many micro-budgets suffer from using actors they can afford as opposed to thespians who can truly deliver. This cast delivers. Bella Shepard also excels in a supporting yet integral role. Anonymous 616 has a 2nd Act twist that produces a potential telescoping of reality, one that caused this reviewer to question everything. The story of a misunderstanding with fatal consequences, or perhaps an episode of PTSD, seem like easy subterfuge for hidden subtexts that lead straight into The Matrix (metaphorically speaking). It’s open-ended enough for inquisitive minds to detect everything from supernatural intrusions to MK-Ultra level experimentations. Anonymous 616 becomes a petri-dish for germinating conversations about the root causes of war, not to mention the devastating power of paranoia and its combustibility when paired with extreme narcissism (and alcohol). While the filmmaker’s intentions are clear, it doesn’t disallow for creative interpretations; if anything, it rewards them. Anonymous 616 offers the kind of genuine, psychological suspense that will appeal to fans of They Look Like People and the Creep movies. It’s anchored by a crackling script filled with stories within stories, not unlike Reservoir Dogs or Bullet Head (a recent favorite of mine). And despite the small budget, Anonymous 616 delivers serious substance with enough gore to please a fan of torture porn (without thoroughly alienating fans of character-driven horror cinema). Besides the previously-mentioned outdated morphing effect, Anonymous 616 leaves little to criticize in terms of serious impediments to its delivery. As for constructive criticism, were the film picked up for re-release by a bigger studio with distribution, for example, I’d recommend looking for a more compelling title as Anonymous 616 barely hints at the most compelling aspects of the film. It highlights the techno-terror aspect, but this is more a plot motivator than an exploration of technology like Unfriended or Chain Letter. I’d also trim the climactic exposition by at least 60%. While Pastor Warren, played by Myles Cranford, is a compelling and effective last-minute arrival, I’m certain that viewers who make it to the end will already suspect what’s “really” going on; the citing of specific Biblical passages doesn’t add anything at this stage of the story. Anonymous 616 will be best enjoyed by fans of slow-burn, character-driven storytelling with an appreciation for (and an understanding of) the nature of micro-budget films. In this case, especially, cheap doesn’t equal fake or ineffective by any measure, and it never suffers from a lack of recognizable names and faces. Anonymous 616 won’t appeal to a lot of people, especially those thrilled by jump-scares and crazy special FX, along with those looking for monsters or specters, phantoms or Cenobites. It’s drama first, extreme horror second, but intelligent and skillfully textured throughout. Anonymous 616 is available to watch now on Amazon Prime: http://bit.ly/A616_on_Amazon Summary: If you’re a fan of micro-budget, character-driven genre offerings like The Invitation and They Look Like People, chances are, you’ll enjoy this one as well. As opposed to those films, however, Anonymous 616 offers a hefty dose of extreme horror with elements of torture porn, bravely venturing into some truly dark territories. Not for the easily-triggered and definite not for the kiddies. - @Tuesday, August 28, 2018 8:57 PM

By Antonio Pantoja at Amazon: Hands down one of the best movies I've seen in a long time!! Hands down one of the best movies I've seen in a long, long time. Further proof that you don't need an enormous budget to make an amazing film. The film is driven by it's AMAZING performances and clever story that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Daniel DeWeldon blew me away completely. He had me laughing and then sick to the pit of my stomach within minutes apart. The entire cast was absolutely amazing. Can't wait to show this gem to some friends! - @Friday, May 4, 2018 9:03 PM

From Amazon Customer: VERY IMPRESSIVE! Suspense indeed! I like the opening and I kept wondering HOW this story could get so ugly, but it DID!!! This is one of the first films in this genre that actually made me think about life. I’m really impressed by the story, the acting and the subjects of the film. I can honestly recommend it! - @Friday, May 4, 2018 9:00 PM

From JENNIFER at Amazon: This film leaves an indelible impression, showcasing how great art is expressed from an original source of humanity and creation. The film leaves you wanting to watch it again to fully grasp the magnitude of its message. What I found most compelling is how the film allowed me to interpret the overarching message: an individual soul on an inward journey to heal pain. And all this before I arrived at the reality that the main character has brought "the war home from the war." The impact of PTSD is portrayed authentically in this film like no other. Every human being is a spiritual soldier – there is no escape but to look within and ultimately become one with everything. This film awakened me in a way I could only have imagined until now expressing pure power and vulnerability. The entire cast was playing for real, and the film's lead actor Daniel DeWeldon made me question my own authenticity. I had to remind myself, was this acting or real? DeWeldon set a new bar for what is great acting. At its heart, this movie demonstrates evolved filmmaking in 2018. Hats off to the original writing, creative direction, captivating cinematography, and a striking musical score. The storytelling is best compared with that of the Cohen brother's "No Country For Old Men" and a bit of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", yet Mike Boss' "Anonymous 616" stands on its own as a masterpiece. This is a horror film that needed no special effects, no frills, no green screen – just blood, sweat, and tears! - @Friday, May 4, 2018 8:58 PM
