Human Nature

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

I didn't watch all of this movie because (a) the video quality and lighting were horrific , but most importantly.... the audio on the DVD was not mastered properly which gives me a poor impression of how this movie would turn out.

The audio was peaked too high, leaving the viewer hearing a static in the background. Likewise, when scenes changed, you'd hear the static cut off, and then cut back on again during fade-in's/fade-out's. If the editor ever reads this comment, LEARN ABOUT AUDIO LEVELS!!!

It ruined the entire movie...not that it was promising anyways. I learned a few lessons about judging DVD's by it's cover.

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!

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

When I saw this sitting innocently on the shelf in Hollywood Video I knew right away that it would be another indie film gone terribly wrong, and I was right, but yet not entirely disappointed. IMO everything that was wrong was more technical (ie the sound was awful and sometimes the lighting would be bad) with occasionally a few screw ups by the director and actors. I think this is a good movie for aspiring student directors to watch. I actually thought the acting (mainly that of the lead female being tortured) was good and the effects were surprising...particularly one scene involving a bucket, the lead hookers foot and a hammer...but I don't want to spoil anything so I'll stop there. There were a few plot holes and scenes that didn't make sense with the storyline, but I think if you can forgive them then you will have a decent time watching it. 5/10
