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.

Critics' reviews

"'Man Bites Dog' defines audacity. An assured, seductive chamber of horrors, it marries nightmare with humor and then abruptly takes the laughter away."

Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times
"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"

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"Belvaux and company are out to shake up people's cozy, passive, detached relationship with violence - on and off the screen."

Chicago Sun-Times
"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'"

Gary Arnold: The Washington Post
"'Man Bites Dog' brings new meaning to the term guilty pleasure"

Jay Carr: Boston Globe
"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)"

Mark Salisbury: Empire
