Humans, The
Nova exclusive!
Richard Jenkins, Amy Schumer, Steven Yeun, Beanie Feldstein, June Squibb and Jayne Houdyshell star in Stephen Karam's adaption of his own Tony award-winning production.
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.
A darkly comic insight into how families are in constant communication without ever really saying what is on their minds or how they feel, THE HUMANS is also a brilliant model for using an enclosed environment, audio design and performance to ratchet-up tension and drama.
"Overlapping, percussive, ultimately musical -- is as exquisitely observed as it is immaculately performed by this cracking cast. It's as if Samuel Beckett had written a sitcom." - THE FINANCIAL TIMES
"THE HUMANS features no ghosts, monsters, or poltergeists. It's not set inside a haunted house, an abandoned building, or a tract of shadowy woods. And yet, it might be the scariest movie of the year." - THE ATLANTIC
"A savagely sophisticated film." - MASHABLE
