Low budget, high entertainment, June 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Hunting Humans (DVD)
I had the privelege of seeing this at a local screening. It's clearly very low budget, but for once I think it didn't hurt it.
The star of the movie is Aric Blue, a serial killer. Is that strange? Yes. For most of the movie you are sort of rooting for this guy. Try not to think about the fact that he's a murderous psycho.
I'm not ruining anything(I mean, they say it on the DVD cover) by telling you that at some point Aric finds out that HE'S become the prey of another serial killer. It's a very cool twist, I thought, and I was surprised since I had no idea.
The two killers go at each other for the rest of the movie in some very clever ways. The strength of the movie is it's script and the performance of Rick Ganz who plays the lead. The other thing that surprised me was how good the music in the movie is. Whoever did the score is incredible. I've heard worse scores on big studio pictures.
The bad: Some of the other actors are less than good. It didn't bother me too much as none of them are really in the movie for very long.
All in all, a very entertaining movie. I don't know what extras are going to be on the DVD, but I'll be picking it up regardless. If you like stuff like Henry Portrait of a Serial Killer or American Psycho, you'll dig this movie!

4 Stars for the first 75 minutes ! 0 Stars for the last 13 minutes, March 27, 2006
This review is from: Hunting Humans (DVD)
Kevin Kangas is a fresh new Director with alot of talent & i love his follow up to this film "Fear Of Clowns" & i also was enjoying the hell out of "Hunting Humans" until we hit the last 10-15 minutes of the movie head on & it goes from being a very creative & realistic low-budget film to being a corney lame un-realistic & ilogical karate kick of a ending. The movie is not completely ruined because of the ending but i will say that Kevin Kangas & company were about 13 minutes away from giving birth to a low-budget masterpiece & then it slipped out of there hands & hit the floor & slid on the afterbirth into the oblivion of good movies with very bad endings. What the hell happend Mr. Kangas?

Inside the mind of serial killer, Hunting Humans rocks!, November 28, 2003
This review is from: Hunting Humans (DVD)
I was totally amazed by this film. There I was perusing the DVD's at blockbusters and I decided to get this flick. Kevin Kangas? Rick Ganz? Trent? Who the hell are these people? What I came to find out is that these people made a great film. It's a tad more on the pyschological side so those Matrix freaks who just want to see non stop action might not enjoy as much 'cause you'll have to think. The narration was kind of ornery, but overall it was a good flick. The story revolves itself around one character, Aric Blue (Ganz), who pulls of the arrogant, yet sadistic sociopath nicely. Can't say much more about the revolving cast because they weren't too good. Amateurs in comparison really. Kangas brings us into the world of a sociopath who follows the patterns of his vitims before killing them. Another good twist to this unique story about a sociopathic serial killer where one day he ends up being tracked by another killer in the same city. For a low budget independent its well worth it to watch.
