Human Nature

I saw Human Nature with little else to do and also the title seemed interesting. But even with the low expectations I had, I was still repulsed by the movie. Human Nature is of very cheap quality, the lighting is so dark it is difficult often to make out what's going on, the editing is very choppy and the settings could have easily been a basement. But what further cheapens Human Nature is the dreadful sound, which is so muted-sounding that dialogue and actors' delivery are seldom heard here. The script is hackneyed and very difficult to take seriously, while the story has no atmosphere or suspense whatsoever, and is very clichéd and dull. It is filled to the brim with overly-sadistic moments, okay there is nothing wrong with having a disturbing scene but having so many of them that are enough to make you either gouge out your eyes or make you throw up is way too much. The characters have nothing to them and are just not that likable or interesting. I did find it really difficult that the wife didn't suspect anything, even when it was so obvious, and the killer is far too nice to be convincing. The acting is atrocious too with awkward line delivery and the sense that nobody wanted to be there, I've seen robots much more animated. All in all, a truly repulsive movie in every sense. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Like many others who gave this one a go, I can enjoy a good low-budget horror movie. Unfortunately, this movie is absolutely terrible. The plot is uninteresting and doesn't always make sense, the characters are not memorable, the acting isn't great, the audio quality is absolutely atrocious, and the movie is simply boring to watch. I wish I could put this movie in the "so bad, it's good" category, but this movie is just bad, with no redeeming qualities to make it enjoyable. Do not waste your time or money on this one. I never return my movies to the shop, in case I end up liking them in the future- but this was one of the very few that wasn't even worth having on the shelf, as I have no desire to ever view it again.

Don't waste your time or money. bad acting. bad audio. a snoozefest

wow...this movie was just awful. i'm a big fan of low budget/sort of "indie" films and student films and i have given many of them a shot. i have to say i've seen some that were just great and told good stories with memorable characters. i have to say this rates up there with some of the worst i've seen. the list of things completely wrong with this film probably stretches on forever. the sound quality was awful...i could barely hear them! characters weren't developed really well and it wasn't scary at all...not what i expected! i love horror movies and the cover of this DVD was definitely misleading. i was also hooked by the fact that it was based on a "true" story...but who wouldn't be if you adore horror flicks like i do? my advice...don't spend the dough to rent it!

It starts off in a real low budget but pseudo documentary way, with a flashback interview with a school psychologist, but of who? The killer or the hooker victim? Allegedly, this is based on a true story, but that leaves a lot of room for improvisation. It has a video stock only look and it never made it to the theaters. It's from some schlock video production company that specializes in this kind of trash. The main creep, some black yuppie, kidnaps whores and tortures and kills them in his garage while his neglected white wife hangs out in the house pouting about how he is not paying attention to her. Well, dummy, if your husband is murdering women on the side, along with other cheesy sexual liaisons, then you consider yourself lucky that he does neglect you! Obviously a dim bulb, from her choice of spouse on up! If you have to pay for this film, which thankfully I didn't, then you have wasted your money. It is grim viewing and well worth avoiding unless in cases of extreme boredom!
