Though the dialogue is pretty basic and the narrative dots don't always quite connect, The Human Race, in its own gutsy, grindhouse-movie way, manages style, vision and tension. Read full review

Compensating for its less than convincing special effects with some intriguing plot twists and bracingly nihilistic situations, The Human Race is a reasonably compelling low-budget genre item. Read full review

One test for movies like this is whether they bemoan the inevitable gore or revel in it; The Human Race too often falls into the latter, amplifying and focusing on the bloodshed. Read full review

Real suspense and shocks are MIA in a movie that’s eventful but lacks the atmospherics needed to be scary. Read full review

It’s not art. But The Human Race does manage to take a worn out formula and nonsense story and finds a few novel touches, a little humor and hints of pathos in between the exploding heads. Read full review

On your mark, get set, go find something else to watch! Because The Human Race, a dreary, smeary, low-low-budget but even lower-inspiration horror flick from British writer-director Paul Hough, is likely to leave viewers rueing the craven, disappointing species into which they were, through no fault of their own, born.

This is a laughably bad movie, but an amazing drinking game waiting to happen. Read full review

Very gripping. You don't know who will win but it will keep you watching until the end. Good acting by a bunch of people I have never seen before. I hope there is a sequel.

With some questionable special effects, so-so acting and occasionally silly script, The Human Race is actually a fairly solid effort at trying to make a small film feel big. The result is not entirely convincing, but it's certainly never boring.

extremely low budget flick. i guess it's okay in that regard....but still....kind of a waste of time to watch. i think the positive reviews came from people who made the film. not sure though. anyways.

it's. just. not. very. good.
