Sasha is a young vampire with a serious problem: she's too sensitive to kill. When her exasperated parents cut off her blood supply, Sasha's life is in jeopardy. Luckily, she meets Paul, a lonely teenager with suicidal tendencies who is willing to give his life to save hers. But their friendly agreement soon becomes a nocturnal quest to fulfill Paul's last wishes before day breaks.

Reviews
Drew Gregory
In the end, it feels less like a reinvention of the genre and more like What Amèlie Does in the Shadows.
Kristy Puchko
Ariane Louis-Seize makes her feature-length directorial debut with this daring and daffy horror-comedy that plays like Romeo and Juliet meets Beetlejuice and Amelie.
Marya E. Gates
"What We Do In The Shadows" for people who grew up loving the soft goth girl vibes of Emily The Strange and Lydia Deetz.
Katie Rife
"Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person" isn't a wholly new take on the subgenre. But it is a charming one - a rom-com for teenagers (and teenagers at heart) who swoon when cute boys talk about death.
Randy Myers
Humanist Vampire does circle risky topics but handles them with care.
Jessica Kiang
It's more fairy tale than scary tale. It is, however, a fine showcase for the witchy charisma of star Sara Montpetit.
Meagan Navarro
It's a stylish, cute date night feature, as fangless and lovely as its central vampire.
Mark Dujsik
The title is more evocative and provocative than anything in co-writer/director Ariane Louis-Seize's movie, unfortunately.
Coleman Spilde
Louis-Seize's film is an inviting coming-of-age tale about how a vampire gets by when she's not inclined to kill.
Andy Crump
Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person, is not only packing one of 2024's standout titles; it's the most original vampire film of the 2020s so far.
Rendy Jones
A charming, dark, comedic romp for a new generation that is a welcoming new branch to the vampire cinema tree.
Rafaela Sales Ross
The film is less concerned with gore than it is with the big questions of being a vampire in the era of sensitive teens and the politically correct. But it still plays out as a highly fun and entertaining entry to the bloodsucker canon.
Stephanie Malone
"Humanist Vampire" is a gorgeous gothic treat that takes a tender and thoughtful approach to the subgenre. Genre lovers who appreciate humorous and heartfelt love letters to classic horror should find much to appreciate in this funny, feel-good romp.
Sarah Vincent
"Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person" is an unexpected delight about misfits finally embracing themselves and finding joy in each other without sacrificing the innate brutality of vampires.
Hope Madden
The pathos in Luis-Seize's film benefits from both a widespread undercurrent of suicidal thought-both as a parent's nightmare and a child's misguided salvation-and an understated theme of neurodivergent love.
Sharai Bohannon
'Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person' is possibly the cutest movie you could ask for this year.
Lauren Coates
This French vampire dramedy may not be groundbreaking, but its strong leads and dry humor make it well worth watching.
Miyako Pleines
An interesting premise shepherded by a talented cast that is sure to live on for some time.
Steven Prokopy
Director/co-writer Ariane Louis-Seize has a subtle touch for creating characters who reach our heart even when they're talking about death and bloodsucking.
Aaron Neuwirth
It's the latest in a line of genre films focused on young women coming of age that I've seen in recent weeks, following Inside Out 2 and Tiger Stripes. I enjoyed the mood here.
