杰姬(凯特·迪基 Kate Dickie 饰)的工作是守候在“城市之眼”系统的操控室内,通过遍布城市的摄像头静静守护夜色中的人们,这份静默的工作就像杰姬此时的生活:在失去丈夫以后,她和冷漠的情人保持着若有如无的关系,同事之间最低限度的交流,还有疏远的双亲,这一切映衬她封冻的情感。某夜,一个出现在摄像头中的身影打破了杰姬的宁静心绪,杰姬开始整日观察这个叫做克莱德·亨德森(托尼·库兰 Tony Curran 饰)的男人,她追踪克莱德与周围人的动向,甚至来到克莱德居住的“红色之路”——一幢住着不少刑满释放人员的公寓,并混入其家中。克莱德为什么引起杰姬的注意?他们之间曾经发生过什么?
You wake up in a shabby hotel room with no idea how you got there. You can’t recall your name. You discover there seem to be other young women in other rooms in the same predicament, though one of them seems to know your name: Anne. After an unpleasant encounter with a rather large cockroach, you have a screaming fit. That’s when the nurses arrive to sedate you. And by the way, when night falls, you’ll need to escape from a killer demon with the bloodied head of a deer.
Faces of Anne relies heavily on elements of the slasher film – and in many ways, that’s exactly what it is. But the film is also a puzzle, whose central question – Why is Anne here? – allows us to explore theories as to its solution until the very last moment. Are we inside a video game? An escape room? The mind of someone with multiple personalities? The elaborate and nihilistic fantasy of a deranged serial killer? It’s nothing new to remark that the best horror films are often those that reflect the fears of society; this film builds a clever – and viscerally terrifying – analogy of some of the difficulties faced by today’s young people.
