“Humanity is the opposing side…”

Humane released on demand on April 26th 2024. The horror thriller film stars Jay Baruchel, Sebastian Chacon, Emily Hampshire, Peter Gallagher, and Enrico Colantoni. It runs for approximately 93 minutes.

After the collapse of the global environment, the government resorts to extreme measures to reduce the world’s population.

Here is the trailer:

Humane has a thought-provoking and outrageous premise, but does it do enough to earn a watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Interesting concept.

I’ve seen a lot of “end of the world” or post-apocalyptic depictions lately in film, but I really think this one stood out as a unique gem. The idea behind it all was very intriguing and it got me thinking about a lot. I had tons of questions, which made this an engaging watch overall. I think this film will definitely create some interesting discussions and I loved the use of gore. I hope to see more from this director soon.

Enrico Colantoni is the best part of the film!

I’m a huge fan of his from the Veronica Mars days and I really loved his dark humor and quirkiness in this one. He elevated this film in so many ways and as soon as it started dragging, I was thrown right into things again because of his reactions. I absolutely loved him in this!

The Cons:

I wasn’t fully invested in the rest of the characters…

For some reason, I just couldn’t connect to any of them so I didn’t care about what happened to them. I think we needed some more character development to actually root for anyone or see them interact more as a family. I didn’t need this movie to be that much longer, but there was some opportunity here for sure.

So am I in or out?

I’m in about 75 percent…

Humane is fresh, bloody, and entertaining enough for your next watch.

It didn’t exactly stick the landing, but it did something different, which I appreciated.

I hope you enjoyed the review and feel free to post your own thoughts and theories on Humane in the comments section below. Thanks so much for reading and happy viewing!
