Okie dokie, to those complaining about anna's acting...

Am I the only one that thought she looked mentally challenged? Her mouth was at a curve and she seemed...twitchy, so I thought that her acting was actually pretty good, if she was playing taht role. If not I qagree with all of you.

She reminded me of an Angela with guts.

Yeah that was the impression that I got as well. She seemed a little slow and kinda brainwashed by the cult. Maybe autistic, it was never explained but she was very childlike. And I think that was a decision made by the director, not lousy acting

I thought she was like that in the game - but I haven't played it yet.

I have an idea that living in silent hill for a long time and having to cope with the darkness that's helped make her seem weird. In the film, I thought it added a nice contrast to that Dahlia person.

She isn't in the game

Anyway, I didn't think she was that bad. After her first few lines I perceived that she was mentally challenged. Being severely sheltered could also create a similar effect, I assume.

Edit: You fast posters, you!

Anna's actress portrayed her well. The character seemed child like and impulsive. I just don't get the people that thought it was bad acting on her part.

That's what I got too, her being handicapped somehow. She acted and sounded like a child, I thought it made a lot of since actually, because she was the only one from the cult who was nice to Rose and Cybill. But, I guess the people who expected all the actors to be recieving acadamy awards on here, might be dissapointed.

Or, you know, it could be induced by the trauma of living in a reality that snows ash and having been surrounded by a group of relgious nutz that insist they've saved the world from Apocalypse (in 33/16) by killing innocent children.

Yeah, that might do it too...

That doesn't change the fact that her acting was god damned aweful.

As a matter of FACT, it wasn't.

Hahaha, Aweful or awful? hehe

I thought she did an alright job, maybe her voice is a bit annoying but I could tell she was afraid and she seemed like a more believable believer in the "faith" stuff going on there. Cult if that's what it should be called.

At least Tanya Allen (Anna) acted normal on the premiere interviews.

On the interview Chris Gans said that he wanted 'unique' actors in the film, and I guess Tanya Allen fits in the 'unique' catagory

Sorry, I can't spell very well. When it comes to acting I suppose, there are no facts. Me and all the people who went with me thought she was absolute shit though.

let me just say that her character was a comedy release in the film.
every one laughed at her and kind of liked her, so when she got her skin ripped off well, it had more of an impact.

I agree with St. Thomas, that living with that cult your whole life would fill you with fear of anything or anyone unknown. Did anyone notice she was alot younger then anyone else in the cult? Everyone else seemed very old besides her. Plus Christabella did say when she was killed that she had strayed from the flock or whatever.

Okay good I'm not alone lol

Post by **kingscratchie** » 23 Apr 2006

I thought the acting was dead on, if you've ever seen a video with someone brainwashed/ committed to something, they act in a certain way. The fact that she was sheltered by the cult and didn't know about the outside world added to the acting.

Post by **Heaney** » 23 Apr 2006

i think she pulled off the character pretty well.... ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE GOT HER TITS RIPPED OFF!

Post by **JuriDawn** » 23 Apr 2006

I thought her acting was fine, and Pyramid Head is *harsh*!

Post by **Hjartu** » 23 Apr 2006

She was... awkward, but it was suitable.
