'The Human Race' is a micro-budget gory thriller with a simple, yet intriguing premise. Other than a needless long opening scene, the movie gets off to a brisk pace that never lets up. Tense moments are placed evenly throughout, adding a surprise around every turn in the bend. It's just one continuous race that works on paper and in execution. There's a hint of some subtextual agenda regarding human coexistence. It's present, but does not overtake the action. Something for those keen enough to pick up on. I would've liked more investment with the characters that we learn backstory from. And the ending, while not predictable, still left me just a tad disappointed in an unexplainable way. Definitely worth a rent.
