This is far more a suspense thriller than a horror film but Anna is 100percent engaging just the same. Its easy to find yourself totally wrapped up in a magnetic narrative loaded with enough twists to keep viewers guessing time and again. It may seem that this one is rather predictable but thats an initial belief that is pretty much wiped away by the time weve made it into the third act. The conclusion offers a couple looks most will not see coming. The unpredictability of the pic is damn refreshing especially since writers Guy Holmes and Martha Holmes are slick enough to make us believe we know exactly whats going on when in truth were relatively far off.

Generally speaking, thriller/horror movies centered on kids usually prescribe to the idea that the kid is either possessed by demons or is the devil reborn and everything about the marketing for Jorge Dorado's English language debut screams typical but truth is that Anna refuses to fit into the mold.

Written by Guy and Martha Holmes, Anna stars Taissa Farmiga as the titular character, a troubled teenage girl whose parents are preparing to institutionalize her because of her erratic behaviour. As a last ditch effort to avoid locking up her daughter in the loony bin, Michelle (Saskia Reeves) hires a new breed of help: mind detectives, individuals with heightened Esp abilities who, with a bit of help, can enter individual's minds and sift through their memories.

This is the first trailer and poster for Mindscape starring Mark Strong, Taissa Farmiga and Brian Cox, and an intriguing one at that. Jorge Dorado directs the thriller written by Guy Holmes and Martha Holmes, which at this time, has no Stateside release date. Folks in Spain however, can catch the film on October 31st. What I do like about this poster is that the actor names actually line up with the actor's faces. It's truly annoying when they try observe casting order but design the poster with the names unmatched. In Mindscape, a man who has the ability to enter peoples' memories, takes on the case of a brilliant, troubled sixteen-year-old girl in order to find out if she's a socioppath of a victim of trauma. The title reminds me a bit of Dreamscape, a similarly titled film of 1984 starring Dennis Quaid who tried to save the Us president who's trapped inside a dreamworld,...
