Watch The Human Race For Free

Great Film overall

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

The acting in this movie is really good.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The Human Race is the most predictable steaming pile of garbage since the Fantastic Four remake. right off the bat it becomes obvious who lives and who doesn't. the plot is as interesting as a 16 hour algebra lecture and the acting makes it seem like every single person is an extra who's never heard of a camera in their lives. the worst part is this movie thinks its a good movie. the creators basically microwaved a 30 day old banana peel, threw it at a wall and called it abstract art. its not a parody. its not satire. this movie honest to god thinks its CGI worse than Disney Channel 1-hour specials and actors who practically need to be holding a script to check every 3rd words is enjoyable entertainment. the directors forced Scanners, Maze Runner, Hunger Games, and Btoom! to have an cross-breed with a group of racially diverse yet still completely oblivious to the meaning of "entertainment" bland D-list actors just to give birth to this movie. id rather play ET for the Atari for 24 hours then watch an 8-minute compilation of all the cringe worthy deaths in this movie. its a book-to-movie adaptation as well, from a book that got even less attention than the movie. however, i do need to give this movie props for wiggling its way into existence. it takes a lot of perseverance and determination to sneak this atrocious deformed beast into existence. so kudos to you, writers, that earns you a starOverall Rating: 1/10. burn it in the pits of Mt. Doom.

This film had a great idea but it suffers from inexperienced and self-indulgent direction and clumsy production values. Its a shame because in some ways this film is quite subversive and had the potential to be a cult classic. The unconventional casting (a disabled leading man, a deaf couple as major characters) flies in the face of the standard rule of horror flicks that all of the cast must be hot college kids with toned abs and flawless skin. The lengthy introduction of the teenage girl's back-story, immediately followed by the un-expected twist, mocks (perhaps unintentionally) the 'self-help and self-empowerment' ethos of present-day culture, instead bluntly reminding us that despite all of our best efforts in controlling our own destiny, death and misfortune can still be brutally random and unjust. However any valid points that could have been made about life and society are soon hopelessly lost in the gore and mayhem which is overdone. The scene with the young pregnant woman was too horrific, was not necessary and should have been cut. And the gang of three men's seemingly instant transformation into giggling, smirking psychopaths was not convincing (although I couldn't help but enjoy seeing them get taken down). True, people in such extreme situations would react and behave unexpectedly but surely they would not turn into lip-smacking killers so rapidly. The callously selfish jogger in the yellow t-shirt was sadly more believable in how people would likely react. Somewhere in here is an idea for a good film. With less gore, better direction and better production values, it could have been the 'Clockwork Orange' of the 2010s. Instead, its merely a sadistic messy student film.

I caught this as a random from Film Flex and was pleasantly surprised.The characters are inexplicably sucked in to a race-to-the-death by some unknown power. Confronted with the race the contestants have the choice of banding together to defeat their captors or trying to win the race. What follows I found quite interesting.The main problem with this film is the back stories. They take up about the first twenty five minutes and I must admit I fast forwarded through a chunk of them.Once the race starts though it was all good. Acting is solid enough, effects passable and the story interesting. Inspired set location makes the production of the movie appear a light more expensive than it is.

Have you seen 'Scanners?' Did you like the bit when the head explodes? If you answered 'Yes' to that then you should definitely watch 'The Human Race.' It's a film primarily about people's heads exploding (occasionally interspersed with the odd pick-axe through someone's neck). However, what little 'story' there is when brains aren't flying towards the camera, concerns a seemingly random group of people who get spirited away from their everyday lives, only to find themselves part of a twisted and lethal game where they have to race each other... or their heads explode.Think 'Battle Royale' or 'The Cube.' It's kind of like that (only with more exploding heads).And, believe it or not, it's actually quite good. Yes, there isn't much of a budget; what little money went into making this film was primarily spent on blood flying from holes in people's necks. Naturally, they couldn't afford and big names either, but it's still quite a fun little sci-fi/survival-horror film to watch. Any negative criticism that it seems to have attracted centres around a 'lack of story.' Yes, there's not much of a story, but there was there much of a story in Battle Royale? There's only so much of a story you can build around eighty people who have to force each other's head to explode in order to survive.If you like your films short, sweet and filled with decapitated bodies, then give this one a go.And remember... keep off the grass.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/
