Great movie to giggle at with friends. The contrast of the incredibly serious subject matter (school shooting) combined with the bad acting is a perfect mix.

A little more or less story, it could have been more intense, a great idea, but not so well implemented, but the soundtrack won my heart... What was that moment of the crumpled paper with the mother's note, it forced... But the outcome it was hopeful...

While this movie definitely has a low-budget feel to it based on story, character depth, and music, it still manages to send an important message to the viewers. We need more movies that bring up the end-scene topic - which is predictable - but it needs to be done with better scripts, casting, and musical score to reach people other than the Hallmark "after dark" and similar audiences. In total, not bad for what it is. Nice to see a movie with an actual ending for once!

If they had left the story just about Indrid and his mind and actions i think the movie would have been better. But due to the romance that was created between the 2 mai n cjaracters the movie falls flat.

I think this was ultimately a Christian movie without being preachy, so have at it.

Overall a very good film that i thoroughly enjoyed, although a relatively simple story line that is somewhat predictable it is done in a way that is still very interesting to watch. Chad Scheifele attention to detail in his characters made both Indrid and Tyler in particular really come to life. The similarity between the protagonist and antagonist made for a dynamic that shows how a person's response can define and change their situation. The dark and twisted side of both Tyler and Indrid made the characters feel particularly relatable to the deep, dark thoughts we all hide with in. Definitely a must watch for anyone who enjoys character based stories that build the foundation for a compelling film.

Once I realised this was actually a comedy, it became infinitely better! Every scene had completely ridiculous lines, actions and inconsistent motivations. Only a true comedy genius can make something like this. It's beautifully shot. I was expecting this to be a dramatic, coming of age style movie. Most comedies are shot in high key, so you can tell it's a comedy right away. But the serious tone and flat coloring really leads you down a different path. But once you realise it's just a carefully crafted deception, and that it is a comedy, it becomes even funnier. If you go into something with the expectation to laugh, you are waiting for the punch lines. But with this comedic genius, you're left questioning "is this meant to be funny?" Once you realise the joke, the surprise hits you even harder.

The history is deep and dark, but it's interesting and I like the message it comes with in the end, always stand up for others and tell others what u know.

Natural Selection stars Mason Dye as the new kid in high school who has must moved to town with mother Amy Carlson. Carlson has never gotten over the breakup of her marriage and has sbstance abuse problems. Often Dye is the designated adult in the family. Because of his home situation Dye doesn't make friends easily. One who does befriend him is Ryan Manzert who is friendly enough and acts as a protector of sorts. But is gradually revealed to be a very dark character. Natral Selection is a well acted drama. But the pace is dreadfully slow. It's like an extended version of an after school special.

I think this does a good job of dissecting the idea of a school shooter type, but outside of building Indrid's character, everything is pretty slow, dry, and bland. This movie felt exceptionally long, and the first semi-interesting event occurs within 15 minutes of the end; left me feeling especially dissatisfied. Feels like a cheap and serious take on the Heathers.
