*Contains Spoilers* From the first few minutes, you can tell that this is going to be an absolute turkey. So many times I thought 'I should turn this off now as I'm wasting my life' but it got to a point where I thought I should just finish it, in case something amazing happens at the end...The fact that the movie begins by focusing on the life of a young woman, creating a back story for her and her family, with an array of short scenes lasting about 16 seconds each, would make you think that she would be the protagonist in this feature. Well, I was mistaken, as she is then killed off a few minutes later. I thought that something would happen later to revisit these initial scenes, but again I was sorely mistaken. The first ten minutes have nothing to do with anything. Lazy filmmaking.With that out the way, it gets into the main storyline which I believe is an interesting concept. Loads of people in a random place, no idea how they got there and having to take part in a race, a survival of the fittest. This concept however is poorly executed.If you don't follow the race path you die, if you step on grass you die and if someone overtakes you twice you will also die. This is repeated in the movie about 50 times, just in case you forget the rules. Everything that follows in the racing scenes appears to be loosely thrown together, mainly relying on improvisation and the various stereotypical characters barking/fighting with each other. You can't really identify with any characters and none are likable. The deaths aren't particularly gruesome and there are a vast number of laugh out loud moments which I'm sure the filmmakers didn't intend.The ending is just preposterous. You are left wondering what has just happened in the last 90 minutes of your life. PS2 graphics are also abundant in the final scenes. I have no idea what the writers were thinking.I feel as though the good reviews on this site have been left by people involved with the film and their friends, because nobody in their right mind could actually LIKE this. Definitely do not buy. It's on Netflix though, so if you want a movie that is so despicably bad that it becomes hilarious, then I would recommend.

When I read the summary of the film, I seriously thought it was going to be a nice, cool and interesting movie. Boy, was I wrong. The effects are cheesy, the dialog is stupid, and the acting is terrible. To top it all off, the ending is preposterous and leaves the viewer without an explication as to what it was that you were watching. After watching everyone die the only sad thing is I won't be able to get the time I spent watching this movie back. Trust me when I say that there are a million movies better to watch than this piece of crap, hopefully the people who made this film will never trick me into watching one of their movies ever again. PLEASE DON'T WATCH!

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/

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE INTERESTING SOUNDING STORYLINE AND THE OKAY COVER.This movie is the worst excuse for a movie I have ever seen. I don't know how it was released (let alone in movie stores) and I'm not even sure how it has gotten a rating of above 2 on IMDb.The acting is horrendous, most elements of the movie are completely unrealistic and the final scene just makes the entire thing ever more confusing and far-fetched. There is no background, no attempt to help you build a connection to the characters and quite simply boasts awful acting, terrible filming and confusion. By the time the credits come, you're just left thinking "what did I even just watch?"Don't even bother, this movie isn't worth your time.1/10
