New Showbiz Analysis

Anomalous is a localized psychological horror film that centers on a single protagonist's journey with schizophrenia. The plot focuses on the internal experience of the main character, rather than broader social critiques. Due to its narrow focus, the film does not explore multi-layered complexities or diverse casting. The diversity in the film is limited to the central theme of neurodivergence, neglecting other forms of representation.
