Summary: One of the best in my collection
Review: "Hatred of a Minute" is a hauntingly beautiful film. Anybody interested in film should not miss this movie. You follow the path of a serial killer, Eric Seaver, and the twisted thoughts that drive him. Violent scenes put it into the horror genre but much of the gore was toned down and leaves the viewer focusing more on the psychology of the film. Sound, light, shadows, and color are all altered and enhanced to enrich the quality of the cinematography. The acting is very strong in comparison to the hackneyed performances usually observed in horror films. Also watch for shout outs to the film's producer, Bruce Campbell, as well as to the film "The Evil Dead."

Summary: DON'T HATE THE HATRED!!
Review: A funny thing happened to me today at Best Buy while browsing for DVD's. As I flipped through the many titles, I came across this film, "Hatred Of A Minute" and I see the name Mike Kallio. My nostalgic brain started turnin' ... where do I know this name? I used to party with this guy back in high school! It was crazy because I remember Kallio telling me about his movie plans and we had a blast bullsh*tting about the Evil Dead and how WE would make our horror films. The fact that Bruce C is in his movie is unreal!! I mean, we talked about that! To find out that Mike Kallio has a movie in Best Buy is classic! I don't know too many people in the biz... but I can say that I knew this guy. The least I can do is buy the flick and support him for living his dream. I always knew this guy could do it. After watching it once, I was a bit scared of Kallio as a brutal creepy killer... I thought, man, he was a always so cool and chill. His acting freaked me out. All in all, I thought it was a trippy popcorn flick with tons of old school horror shout out's with an edgy twist. I give the film props and the fact that Kallio did what I remember him saying he was going to do... speaks volumes. As I did a google search to find out more about the movie, it lead me here to Amazon. Then, I read some of the reviews and I was laughing at the intensity of some of them!
What's the deal with some of these people ripping it apart like it was supposed to be Lord Of The Rings? Talk about HATER'S of the minute! Almost all of the comments seem to be from film geeks who seem to be hating Kallio's version of fun. Horror IS fun and movies are just an escape for a little bit. Why the hell are these people buying or renting Independents and comparing them to other Independents? Isn't the whole point of Independent filmmaking supporting the movement?
Everyone's got an opinion and you can't make everyone happy when your a HATER. If you reviewers Hated it so much, why did you spend an hour out of your day ripping it? I'm not much for reviewing every frame of the movies I watch... I try to enjoy them for what they are. Except for the movie goer Blood 66 (I don't want to type the third six) the comments seem to be from HATERS. I wonder what George Lucas felt like when people HATED the little kid in the newer Star Wars!!! Bad reviews are part of the game. I hope Kallio laughs them off and thanks these people for their support!!! If your checking your reviews Mike, congrats on you selling your movie and making people buy it or rent it with a great title and a true follow through on your passion. The commentary track was cool. Good Luck with your next movie and tell Bruce C that he rocks! To all those who read this review... check out the movie and have fun with a good guy's first flick. Just remember all the "greats" had first movies too and this one is right up there with some of them. Cause in ten years I predict Kallio will probably sit back in his phat screening room with a cold beer in one hand and a stogie in his other... thinking about the accomplishment of his first film and how the journey is far more satisfying than the destination. DON'T HATE THE HATRED!

Review: Hideously acted and just full of faux male angst, this movie is extremely easy to choke on. Just completely awful. Whatever possessed Bruce Campbell to associate his name with this drivel?

Review: hmmmm..... how to descibe this movie??? Imagine if you were to tackle a feature length production but you didn't quite know how, didn't have any money and it took you almost 10 years to finish.... oh wait, that IS what this is!!
This movie starts off akward and you might feel like you made a mistake in purchasing it but actually gets better as it goes. You can almost see the first time director learn how to make a film as the movie progresses. odd, unbalanced shots give way to much better ones and the mise-en-scene, although way over the top is almost clever at times. You will laugh at times at mistakes, some bad acting and silly dialog but that happens when you are a newbie to film plus he shot it in michigan, its hard to find a good cast and crew in so. cal sometimes, i can only imagine the difficulty out there!! I really wanted to give this 4 but the production quality does hurt it. So if you wanna watch a straight forward movie about a crazy dude who starts hackin' up people, i say go for it! And look out for bruce campbells cameo's.........

Summary: Pretty poor psychological thriller
Review: I'm surprised that Bruce Campbell found this shoddy little film something to champion. It's extremely amateurish from start to finish, in writing, acting, and direction. It's nothing that you haven't see before a dozen times, and done much better. The thrust of the bonus material seems to be that since this is a totally independent film, it's something to be treasured. Maybe, but a little quality somewhere along the line would have helped. I was really ready to like this film,, but just couldn't do it. Even the bonus material is poorly produced. Who wants to watch tons of deleted and extended scenes from a film barely worth watching in the first place? A disappointment all around.

Summary: A GOOD FILM or "Alot of you people are jerks!"
Review: Jeez,.. the last reviewer is a lame-o. So, you didn't like this guy's movie. We get it. Get over yourself and find a hobby. I actually liked the film. It ain't academy award material but, whatever. There are alot worse movies out there. I met Mike Kallio at a screening at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood in June (2003) and he was a very nice guy. He knows his movie is't the best but, he GOT IT DONE! That takes alot of drive and determination. Where's the last reviewer's movie,.. OH WAIT! He probably doesn't have one. I gave this movie 5 stars because I wish I could make a film and this guy had the guts to spend 9 years on his dream. Don't be a lame-o like the last guy,.. The commentary with Bruce Campbell and Mike Kallio is worth it (Very imformative if you want to be in the business). Check it out,.. It's a creepy little film.
