Official Trailer

  • "Cronenberg stages Humane with a fearless matter-of-factness, with telling nods to issues of corporate surveillance and the evils of private contracting, and with a vivid eye for the schemes and secrets hidden in the nooks and crannies of that house."

    Owen Gleiberman, Variety

  • “Humane keeps us in its throes to the end."

    Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times

  • "A clock-ticking thriller in the vein of Knives Out."

    Peter Howell, Toronto Star

  • "Humane is a propulsive narrative, but it’s Cronenberg’s intuitive pacing that keeps the plot tense and moving."

    Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter

  • "Most of the scenarios Humane presents feel only a few clicks away from possibility."

    Alissa Wilkinson, The New York Times

  • "Through Colantoni’s volatile performance and Cronenberg’s confident direction, Humane has a twisted sense of humor and unpredictability."

    Travis Hopson, Punch Drunk Critics

  • "Through its dynamic direction, clever script, and stellar, largely Canadian cast, Humane has earned a place in the longstanding genre of ecological thrillers."

    Shania Weatherhead, Collider
