KILLER ME 85 min. Thriller 2002   (US Video Release)
Writer/Director: Zachary Hansen
Producers: Farine Yeganegi, Ferran Viladevall, Zachary Hansen
Cast: George Foster, Christina Kew
Compelled by homicidal visions, Joseph searches the night for more victims. By day he studies criminology to understand the jagged shards of memory and disturbing compulsions that haunt him. Anna, childlike and lonely, stalks Joseph hoping to make a connection. Together they enter a world of nightmare and murder, of love and redemption in arguably the most compelling horror film to hit the indie scene in recent years. Critically acclaimed, and compared to HENRY: PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER and CLEAN, SHAVEN…KILLER ME portrays in chilling detail the horrific psychosis of a haunted and deranged man.

"Killer Me definitely packs an effective punch...the incredible performances help to kick up the tension to critical mass...along with the excellent cast, the sound design for "Killer Me" helps pull the audience into its cold world...very creepy and creative soundtrack...Killer Me does what in sets out to do and that's to paint a very bleak picture of a man and his damaged brain. Keep your eyes open for this one!" - Film Threat
“With Killer Me, first-time filmmaker Zachary Hansen has unleashed the most self-assured indie feature we’ve seen in a long time…Director Hansen spins his tale like a master, with some of the most fantastic, suspenseful, and poignant scenes the genre has to offer. Flawless." - Rue Morgue

“Ingenious” - Videoscope
“KILLER ME is a slow, serious and thoughtful non exploitive movie and the two leads are both excellent.” - Psychotronic Video
"If O. Henry had tackled an imaginatively arty slasher movie, the results would have looked very much like KILLER ME." - Eddie Cockrell, Hamptons International Film Festival
