Synopsis
The activities of rampaging, indiscriminate serial killer Ben are recorded by a willingly complicit documentary team, who eventually become his accomplices and active participants. Ben provides casual commentary on the nature of his work and arbitrary musings on topics of interest to him, such as music or the conditions of low-income housing, and even goes so far as to introduce the documentary crew to his family. But their reckless indulgences soon get the better of them.
Community Reviews
Viewers find 'Man Bites Dog' a unique blend of dark comedy and faux-documentary style, capturing the chilling adventures of a charismatic yet disturbing serial killer. The film's raw, amateurish execution complements its shocking content, making it a standout for those who appreciate its daring humor and philosophical undertones. However, its extreme content and unsettling themes have polarized audiences, with some finding it disturbing yet intriguing, and others outright repulsive.
