Verdict on Human
Recap
The movie follows a woman away from home searching for something to do. However, her night turns into a nightmare when an unexpected visitor appears. She must battle her mind to survive an onslaught of chaos.
Best Parts
The performance from Jackie Kelly is committed, chaotic and could easily be compared to Bruce Campbell’s time in the Evil Dead. We get a mystery that keeps us wondering what is happening, which keeps us engaged.
Worst Parts
The movie is very loud and busy, the chaos and aggressive style is hard to keep up with. This is more that, this won’t be for everyone, as the violent nature keeps things busy from start to finish. It is interesting as part of the story feels like it wants to push the audience to look past certain restrictions they would expect.
Final Thoughts –Human is a chaotic journey into utter madness.
