The Humans Trailer
“The Humans” is written and directed by Stephen Karam, who is adapting his award-winning Broadway stage play of the same name. Richard Jenkins (“The Shape of Water”), Amy Schumer (“Trainwreck”), Steven Yeun (“Minari”), and Beanie Feldstein (“Booksmart”) all star in this quiet, eerie drama. They’re also joined by Jayne Houdyshell, who is reprising her role from the theatrical play.
“…the family picks away at each other, like buzzards feasting on roadkill. Passive aggression runs rampant. These people know each other so well that they’re able to push each other’s buttons. They know just the right word to say to make someone upset. They know how to stick in a metaphorical knife and slowly twist it.”
Coming to theaters on November 24, “The Humans” can be enjoyed by any adventurous family on the prowl for some drama just a day before the big holiday. Check out the official synopsis below:
Set inside a pre-war duplex in downtown Manhattan, The Humans follows the course of an evening in which the Blake family gathers to celebrate Thanksgiving. As darkness falls outside the crumbling building, mysterious things start to go bump in the night and family tensions reach a boiling point.
