Reviews
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
speaksoftly This film might be tiresome for the standard fare thrill-seekers and box-office hounds. But for those of us who seek depth and texture in film, Killer Me is a much appreciated deviation from the mainstream.The music score especially draws the viewer in--with creepy sounding, wholly unfamiliar noises. More over, the raw, almost uncomfortable performances from the actors lend an excellent hand to the already rich story-line. Given that this film was made on almost no budget, it looks great and is easy to watch.For a viewer who needs a TV-style resolution and standard story-line, Killer Me will be challenging to watch. For the real film lovers out there-- Killer Me will not disappoint.
R.F. Montgomery This is a compelling, serious film about psychotic behavior, rather than a typical serial killer flick. It certainly has it's suspenseful moments but where it really shines is as a character study, and even more strangely, as a love story. I haven't seen a film in a long time that has so successfully externalized such an internal character. The film is so obsessively told in the first person of the main character, Joseph, that we nearly breath as he breaths, think as he thinks. When we first meet Anna, the future love interest, it's so uncomfortable to see Joseph's reaction that it's almost unwatchable. We feel Joseph's struggle to quell his inner demons, to cast away his violent thoughts so he can have a normal existence with Anna. This is a killer who truly does not want to kill. In this way he becomes human, sympathetic, a metaphor for anyone who struggles to cure their inner ghosts."Killer Me" is one of the most interesting, unique films to come out this year. The acting is all top-notch, especially for a cast of complete unknowns. The cinematography is very atmospheric, switching between the more sedate and extremely stark depending on the mood of the character. The sound score is brilliant. If you can manage to find a copy, check it out.
bcnla A masterful portrait of the complex mind of a serial killer. It is refreshing to see that there are still daring filmmakers left. Provoking and very original, `Killer Me' manages to put a grip on your brain. Once you start watching you can't stop. You are sucked into the mind of this dark Criminology student trying to find out whether or not he committed a series of murders. The director bravely puts on display all the tools he used but that seem forgotten by Hollywood. I am talking about interesting and powerful characters, intense acting, an outstanding sound design and wonderful camera work. `Killer Me' is without a doubt one of the most interesting and powerful movies I have seen in a long time. My advice to Hollywood.see the movie and take notes.
rje58 Zachary Hansen's Killer Me is a chilling psychological study of two people building a very unusual relationship. Even when you think you see what's coming, this film keeps you off-balance and draws you in to the emotional turmoil of the two lead characters. George Foster makes his character, Joseph, come alive in all his technicolor torment. Christina Kew gives a great performance as the strangely bold-yet-timid female lead (Anna) who sometimes seems almost to take her own breath away with her actions. Watching the relationship evolve between these two is fascinating, and only becomes moreso as the story unfolds.This film is not for everyone, but will appeal to a broad range of film fans, while refusing to neatly fit into any single category. There are things in this film that we never figure out or know for certain, but one thing that is certain is that Joseph is emotionally disturbed, and suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome. Anna is obviously not only attracted to but somehow drawn to Joseph. This is one of those rare films that succeeds in leaving the viewer satisfied without answering all the questions and filling in the blanks.Neal Fredericks, cinematographer for THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, also filmed KILLER ME.The promotional literature for this film says: "Killer Me is a mysterious, unsettling film that gets inside your head..." and this picture delivers on that promise.
