A masterful voyage.

"I actually saw this movie during Method Fest and I have two words to describe this film: great experience. There are a lot of independent movies that are made each year. Very few get distribution, and of those, very few make an impact. "Killer Me" has conquered the two. It does not surprise me. Skillfully directed, the film reveals itself as a treasure. Specially for those who like to observe human nature. I forsee "Killer Me" becoming the next cult movie for horror and thriller fans. Even for those who just stumble upon it and don't count genre films among their favorites I have to say you won't be disappointed. The film will make you fall in love again with filmmaking."
Very Creepy

"I saw this at the Telluride Film Festival a couple summers ago and it is one of the most truly unsettling films I've seen in recent memory. It's reminiscent of "Henry: A Portrait of a Serial Killer" but has moments of tenderness between the two leads that rivals the best Hollywood romances. I don't want to ruin the climactic scene, but it's quite astonishing."
Pretty cool

"I've seen a lot of films in this genre. The film was at times slow but had a purpose. I liked the character development between the leads that I didn't really expect. At times the film was very chilling. If you like the serial killer type genre you'll really like this."
Nothing happens...

"That basically sums it up. You'll run out of patience. Not much happens. The actors aren't very good (with the exception of the terrific cameo by the guy who plays the pet shop owner--now only if he had been given the main role! You would have had something. Foster couldn't carry it.) The thing that cracks me up is they keep comparing this slow flick to the extremely well directed and acted Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. Give me a break, please. I'm not saying that the writer/director may not do something better in the future, but what I am saying here is that this film ticked me off because there you are waiting for something to happen and nothing does. Foster (the main lead) tries too hard to be DeNiro (or somebody) and Christine Kaw with her obvious/forced ticks and mannerisms is just plain annoying. Word of advice (in her case) Less is more. In Foster's case: stop trying to do what other actors who came before you have done. Find your own way, or better yet: stick with music.
Lastly, Neil Fredrick's cinematography is top notch; alas, it was not enough to save this dud."
