Critics Consensus

While not as innovative as its title, Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person offers a dark-ish comedic take on a teen love story between misfits that renders a strangely sweet bite.

Cath Clarke

Guardian

All round the film has less bite than you’d expect. But it’s stylishly shot by first-timer Louis-Seize, a bit reminiscent of an early Jim Jarmusch movie with its deadpan sense of humour, never trying too hard, just a little bit too cool for school.

Rated: 3/5

Chicago Reader

This French vampire dramedy may not be groundbreaking, but its strong leads and dry humor make it well worth watching.

A charming, dark, comedic romp for a new generation that is a welcoming new branch to the vampire cinema tree.

Rated: 3/4

Nashville Scene

Sasha getting her fangs is very relatable to anyone who spent years at the mercy of biochemistry and autonomic nervous responses.

Seven Days (VT)

But the acting, script and cinematography still make Humanist Vampire an experience perfect for anyone whose gothic whimsy itch wasn't sufficiently scratched by Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

Rated: 4/5

Stuff.co.nz

A funny, sweet and happily transgressive wee film. At times it reminded me of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, but without the polish and the distracting big names, and often it seemed to be riffing on a whole generation of ‘80s American teen comedies.

Rated: 4/5

This is one of the typical stories I like: a dark, charismatic protagonist reflecting on personal growth, in this case with a dash of humour to lighten the tone.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Fong Kok Hoong F

A teenage vampiress with an arrested development to kill and a lonely bully victim with perpetually suicidal thoughts make perfect coupling in this darkly sweet horror slash romance slash comedy that could aspire to give hope in the epidemic of juvenile loneliness and isolation.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Dark, twisted coming of age rom-com that is more benign than bite without being cloying.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Alec B

Honestly it's a decent core idea but this movie desperately needed more energy and wit (and perhaps a greater willingness to be transgressive) to really work, especially when your main character is defined by not wanting to do things.
