Killer Me

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.

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.

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.

I LOVED this movie. Bravo! Finally a horror movie with some heart! Unlike so many forgettable serial killer movies out there this one is actually going to stick with me. It's another one of those recent indie horror movies that's so much more brave than anything Hollywood would dare to make. The characters feel like real people, admittedly pretty twisted people, which makes the situation all the more tense. At the heart of the movie is a weirdo love story that is almost more uncomfortable to watch than the scenes of murder. Don't think yourself too twisted if by the end you finding yourself rooting for the serial killer!

A very unique take on a topic that has been done many times in lesser hands. This film brings so much originality to its audience instead of the same "been there - done that" journey. I'd say i like this better than Dahmer... though both are great, this film keeps you interested from begin to end and never puts you to sleep. See it just for the wonderful performances. The film was really casted right for such a low budget. So many low budget films have a bunch of non-talents but this film obviously took the time to select the right players. A must see for all people interested in low budget films and especially unique horror movies.
