Plots(1)
Eighty people are abducted from a city street by an unknown entity and forced to participate in a brutal race to the death. The rules are simple; follow the arrows or you will die, step on the grass and you will die, get lapped twice and you will die. Only one participant will survive. Race or die. (Defiant Screen Entertainment)

Yes, if more effort had been put into the script, if there had been a bit more money, and if the ending were different, this could have been a great film. But even with what the creators had, they managed to create something meaningful, something that isn't just a superficial work. In terms of independent filmmaking, this is really good. I can't go too high with the rating because there are flaws and they are too visible, but this is a film I enjoyed watching.

The most entertaining horror B-movie of the year. Really, this film looks terrible, but if you get over the ugly visuals, you’ll enjoy an uncompromising and brutal carnage, a brisk and violent action ride that spares nobody – old people, women, children. Eighty people find themselves in some sort of futuristic arena and must fight for their lives – only one can survive. It’s a horror take on The Hunger Games or Battle Royale. But what will make The Human Race really memorable is the nasty twist in the last minutes (I appeal to others to refrain from revealing it in their comments), which in a way gives it an almost cult status. I hope that Paul Hough will get at least 10 million USD for a remake with a more decent visual quality and then 50 million to make a sequel. I want to watch that now!

This didn't go so well. The Human Race suffers from a very low budget and a look that is like something out of the 90s. Fortunately, you get too bored, there is always something going on, but it's pretty unsatisfying and I'm not happy with the gore, which is poorly handled and I'd rather not have seen it. The final twist does have something to it, but I still have a lot of unanswered questions. 40%.
