Jacob (Justin Duncan) and Shawn (Gerald Crum) are paranormal
investigators ... well, not really, neither do they believe in the
supernatural nor do they have more than a vague idea of it, they're just
in it for the fun of it and for doing fun YouTube clips. And then they
hear about a demonic doll, Anna, and they go on and steal her from a
museum of the paranormal, set it up in their basement and ... nothing -
which is less than even they expected, since the doll was connected to a
couple of disappearances. Then though they figure out that the doll only
wants women for its deviltry - so they put up an ad on craigslist and find
Kat (Rebekah Lynn Bruflodt), who's in for whatever they're up to ...
though she's actually a prostitute and was looking for something more
sexual. Anyways, she disappears without a trace. Next, our heroes hire
Satanist Jasmine (Kristin Cochell) for some assistance - but all she
manages to do before disappearing is opening the door to another dimension
or something, and Jacob and Shawn only make it out of there because they
promise the doll to regularly sacrifice women to it from now on - but
that's of course easier said than done ...
Anna is a movie that's very easy to be of two minds of:
On one hand, the bumbling leads are really likeable and mostly funny, and
the situations they get in oftentimes hilarious. On the other hand, once
all hell breaks loose, the film actually loses momentum, drags on for too
long and is often cryptic in its editing. Plus the humour of the leads
doesn't always blend with the darker atmosphere of these scenes and
derives them of full effect. Still, the movie's not a trainwreck by far,
there's really plenty to snicker about, it's just nowhere near it could
have been was it more homogenous in approach and execution.
