Set in the not so distant future, in Any Town USA, sixteen-years-old Herman Howards makes a fateful decision. He enters his suburban school and kills thirty nine students, two teachers, and a police officer. Just before his arrest, he emails his idol, famous journalist Lax Morales, sending him clips of the shootings captured with Herman's own digital camera. In the clips Herman tells Lax, "I want to tell my story on your show". Lax, haunted by his own past, is now face to face with Herman.

Hello Herman Audience Reviews

Wordiezett So much average
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Lightdeossk Captivating movie !
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
lexsxswt Now don't get me wrong, I love the idea of a movie that sheds light on the issues that school bullying brings, but the attempt to humanize someone who took the lives of others is just too much. If you want a great film on the subject, I suggest Bully. A first hand account from people who live through bullying trumps a violent bloodbath being used to push someones agenda any day (you hear me Micheal Moore?) When I first heard about this film, I was excited. No, not because Daryl Dixon was going to play one of the leads, but because this is a very real problem in our society today, one that hits close to home for myself and my friends. I sat down with a friend to watch the trailer when it came out. Less than 30 seconds into the trailer, she was in the bathroom, puking. Why, you may ask, did my friend throw up? Within those 30 seconds, she got to relive losing one of her friends during the shooting at their high school. And I mean really relive it as the person on screen was killed the exact same way. Even the trailer shows the director/writer blatantly using the deaths of real people who died in school shootings for "inspiration" behind the deaths in the movie (our friends were not bully's. They were victims of a demented mind that wanted attention. Of all the people he killed, not a single one had EVER bullied him.) She didn't finish the trailer and her words were, "The only way I'd watch that movie is if Norman Reedus AND the director watched it with me. That way they could see first hand the effect that it has. Reedus can hold my hair while I puke." I, being the glutton for punishment that I am, did finish the movie. Not without difficulty I assure you. I site all of the above negative reviews as my reasons along with the deep sadness of watching people killed in the same manner as people I knew. I get the feeling that 'fans' of Norman Reedus are the only reason that this movie doesn't have one star. While Mr. Reedus and Mr. Backstrom did OK in their rolls, it just wasn't enough to save the sinking ship that is Hello Herman. If you love Norman Reedus, by all means watch away. Just keep your kids away from this movie. To me it feels more like a blueprint in how to get attention than it does a warning of what could happen. Never. Again.
timlin-4 Normally I wouldn't review a movie that I couldn't finish, but I can't let the shill reviews stand. This is a bad movie: badly written, badly acted, and contrived in every element. The quality is lower than a soap opera, the tone is more juvenile than a children's movie, the propaganda is more shameless than North Korean TV. When a movie is so slanted that it makes you question its unfair treatment of child killers and Neo-Nazis something has gone terribly wrong. The subject of school shooters has been handled better in several movies, and this adds nothing, a movie for idiots by idiots. I almost hope that this is some sick satire, it would help me sleep at night knowing that there aren't such demented morons out there, though that wouldn't really change my rating, because then it would just be a very bad joke.
darrell-822-118654 The premise of this movie could have made for a good story but the infantile development by the director was not only bias...something a real crime of this nature should certainly not need...but made you feel as if you were watching a bad soap opera. The b rate actors, excluding the reporter and the young criminal, bring a new low to movies. It would have been easier to watch an hour of the stupid video game they kept showing. Rob Estes was so bad that I actually hope I never, ever have to endure him on the screen again. If you are going to bash Fox...and I am not saying you shouldn't...make sure you at least appear smarter. Terrible direction and lousy actors shred any hope of the premise rising to any fruitful work.
Raymond Hong Hello Herman is a must watch movie for not only entertaining purposes but also for the message that it portrays. Garrett Backstrom (Herman) plays the main character as a bullied high school student, along with Norman Reedus (Lax) who has his own internet show.This movie not only entertains you from the start until the end but also teaches a valuable lesson for those who have been bullied, those who are bullies or know someone that has been bullied. Personally this film really allowed me to think about all the drama that occurs in a high school. Although it is outrageous to go on a massacre for being picked on, it is something that is possible in our society.Overall this movie can teach viewers a very important lesson; treat others the same way you would want them to treat you. Highly recommended for all types of audiences.
