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.

It’s more fairy tale than scary tale. It is, however, a fine showcase for the witchy charisma of star Sara Montpetit.

The New Indian Express

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.

Always Good Movies

This is a fable of elegant despair, an instant entry in the vampire canon that feels refreshingly gothic.

Rated: 4/5

... Offers a fresh and entertaining vision, showing that there is still room for creativity and humor within the vampire genre. [Full review in Spanish]

Chris Sawin

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
