Thriller. Comedy
A camera crew follows a serial killer/thief around as he exercises his craft. He expounds on art, music, nature, society, and life as he offs mailmen, pensioners, and random people. Slowly he begins involving the camera crew in his activities, and they begin wondering if what they're doing is such a good idea, particularly when the killer kills a rival and the rival's brother sends a threatening letter.

"'Man Bites Dog' defines audacity. An assured, seductive chamber of horrors, it marries nightmare with humor and then abruptly takes the laughter away." | ||||
"Is it a comedy? A documentary? An underground gore-fest? 'Man Bites Dog', the first feature film from Belgian director Rémy Belvaux, is all of these and much more" | ||||
"Belvaux and company are out to shake up people's cozy, passive, detached relationship with violence - on and off the screen." | ||||
"Funny, scary, provocative, and profoundly disturbing (...) As an exploration of voyeurism, it's one of the most resonant, caustic contributions to the cinema of violence since 'Peeping Tom'" | ||||
"'Man Bites Dog' brings new meaning to the term guilty pleasure" | ||||
"While the film never quite reaches the horrific heights of John McNaughton's chilling Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, it is, for better or worse, difficult to forget (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" |
