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.

Humanist Vampire does circle risky topics but handles them with care.

Ultimately what works in its favour is the film’s commitment to and warmth for its two protagonists. It is built on and draws from the characters.

Globe and Mail

While Louis-Seize’s work isn’t exactly a case of false advertising, it is ultimately a rather vampiric example of biting off more than your title can chew.

Bounding Into Comics

A vampire that refuses to kill isn’t a new idea, but that familiar concept is Humanist Vampire’s most intriguing aspect. The execution of that concept falls flat since the film only seems to go in a familiar direction.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person is among the best of the recent YA romances involving an awkward adolescent whose particular brand of monstrosity becomes a metaphor for teenage angst, sexual anxiety, or some other relatable emotion.

Rated: 3.5/4

This movie is a great blend of horror, drama, and comedy. The acting is terrific. Vampires movies have a tricky balance of honoring previous lore while adding something new, this movie does both gracefully.
