IFC Films, in collaboration with Shudder, AMC Networks’ premium service for the horror, thriller, and supernatural genres, is set to captivate audiences with the release of HUMANE, a provocative dystopian satire. Directed by the talented Caitlin Cronenberg in her eagerly awaited directorial debut, the film stars Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, Peter Gallagher, and Enrico Colantoni. HUMANE is scheduled to make its grand entrance in select theaters on Friday, April 26th, with a streaming debut on Shudder beginning July 26th.
The official trailer and poster for HUMANE have been unveiled, offering a gripping glimpse into a future rocked by an ecological disaster. The story unfolds over a tumultuous day within a privileged community, where a family’s dinner gathering spirals into chaos following the patriarch’s announcement of his participation in a controversial euthanasia program. The narrative is a chilling reflection on human existence, societal breakdowns, and the lengths to which people will go in desperate times.
Caitlin Cronenberg, renowned for her compelling visual storytelling and a portfolio that spans the globe’s leading publications, brings her unique vision to the silver screen. Having grown up immersed in the film industry and establishing herself as a leading celebrity portraitist, Cronenberg’s transition to feature film directing has been highly anticipated. With HUMANE, she crafts a thought-provoking tale set against the backdrop of a world teetering on the brink of collapse.
