What to Know

Critics Consensus

Humane's twisted psychological thrills are diverting enough in the moment to distract from its occasionally awkward attempts to balance sociopolitical commentary against high-concept horror.

John Anderson Wall Street Journal Hardcore horror fans will get their dose of mayhem from Humane, though in its modest, tidily organized fashion the film might also get under the skin. Jul 25, 2024 Full Review Sergio Burstein Los Angeles Times Beyond the lack of subtlety of the message and the lack of depth of the characters, Cronenberg manages to make the proceedings entertaining and handles the actions well within this unique environment. [Full review in Spanish] May 7, 2024 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Variety Cronenberg treats the mansion as an enormous stage set, turning “Humane” into a kind of psychodramatic slasher movie. Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills An offbeat misfire... Jul 29, 2024 Full Review Jonathan DeHaan Nightmare on Film Street Humane is a tight debut from Caitlin Cronenberg, and a delicate balancing act of humor and horrifying ideas. A modern science-fiction thriller that you can't help but get sucked into immediately. Rated: 7/10 Jul 23, 2024 Full Review Rocco T. Thompson Daily Dead Though the finale feels a bit too neat and tidy, the film’s grim humor functions like a balm when the questions it raises get too real. Rated: 3/5 Jul 2, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Horror fan 4 A very intense and enjoyable horror movie. The backstabbing alone is worth the watch. Tim Treakle Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Valerii Ege D Humane takes a classic theme and deepens it by using a potential dystopian environmental issue, making it conceptually creative but mediocre in terms of action. However, I must say that I appreciate the film for its effective use of its dystopian setting to create suspense. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Diana S I was doubly disappointed by this because I REALLY wanted to like it, so I was disappointed in the movie and then disappointed that I didn't like it. It's a strong effort. It's just I've seen this movie numerous times before (The Origin of Evil, Ready or Not, even Clue, Greedy, there are so many) and the sci-fi device felt like an empty gesture to accommodate the story. Though the cast was (mostly) decent, the characters lacked depth, and the script just didn't hit the right notes. What's more, the themes were just a little too on the nose for the era through which we must live. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review nilufer e It was an intriguing physco-dramatic slasher getting into sociological issues. It was entertaining from the start, I also liked the cast.. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/24 Full Review Jerod S In the new world you can off yourself to help the government reduce its population / but daddy’s plans go wrong 7/24 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/24 Full Review irdina N “ Humane” it was a pretty cool concept for a movie but the acting was a bit eh .. so so average . At first I actually really loved it , different character with different personalities for each siblings. But once the good stuff started , the fight is just average, I expected much as the starting of the movie is pretty good to me. Overall, it’s a very great and amazing concept ( very terrifying ) , I just wish like I said , the execution of it to be much better. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
