HUMANE takes place over a single day, mere months after a global ecological collapse has forced world leaders to take extreme measures to reduce the earth's population. In a wealthy enclave, a recently retired newsman has invited his grown children to dinner to announce his intentions to enlist in the nation's new euthanasia program. But when the father's plan goes horribly awry, tensions flare and chaos erupts among his children.

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.

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]

Owen Gleiberman

Variety

Cronenberg treats the mansion as an enormous stage set, turning “Humane” into a kind of psychodramatic slasher movie.

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

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

Using the current ecological crisis as its backdrop, Humane, presents a terrifyingly real depiction of the potential dystopian extremes that humanity is hurtling towards and the further dystopian extremes that may be required if humanity continues to ignore them. Although, it does seem to have difficulty at times choosing a path between drama, comedy, and horror.

Wanted to be politically and socioeconomically conscious, then didn't. Then wanted to be again, the whole time ruining a great premise for a movie. Feel bad for the actors because they deserved better. Never left a review before but was genuinely disappointed by what could have been.

Great cast and premise, but falls apart after the first death.

Politics aside, horror movies are completely boring when you don't care if a single character lives, and the only characters who were potentially likable had very little screen time.

A very intense and enjoyable horror movie. The backstabbing alone is worth the watch. Tim Treakle
