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.

	Author	Review
United States	Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times	"'Man Bites Dog' defines audacity. An assured, seductive chamber of horrors, it marries nightmare with humor and then abruptly takes the laughter away."	POS
United States	Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle	"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"	POS
United States	Chicago Sun-Times	"Belvaux and company are out to shake up people's cozy, passive, detached relationship with violence - on and off the screen."	POS
United States	Gary Arnold The Washington Post	"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'"	POS
United States	Jay Carr Boston Globe	"'Man Bites Dog' brings new meaning to the term guilty pleasure"	POS
United Kingdom	Mark Salisbury Empire	"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)"	POS
