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.

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.

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

There are some delightfully squeamish scenes — but this is primarily a psychological thriller, an update/variation on The Fall of the House of Usher...

Rated: 3/4

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

A timely horror satire chock full of gore and guffaws, Humane entertains in spite of its flaws.

“ 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.

The Movie was predicable and inhumanely bad. It provided almost no context for the relationship development between siblings and should have had a better ending. 0/5 stars. Don't waste your time

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

Can I give less than half a star? I wish. Just because your father is David shouldn’t come with the obligatory right to be a filmmaker. The true culprits behind this hackneyed drivel are charlatan financiers who blindly put money into a dull, badly directed film by a debutante scenester. Nepo baby-dom at its worst.

Terrific premise, weird from the word go and I liked how it played out in an isolated setting, not on a small scale. Not usually interested in horror films but this one had enough comedy to balance it out. For a first-time director, very good.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
