Reception
The film has received mixed reviews, holding a 40% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 10 reviews with an average score of 5.4/10.[4] Alex Saveliev of Film Threat said the film "is not devoid of merit, but neither is it good enough to recommend".[5] Russ Simmons of KKFI opined that "it's goofy midnight movie fodder that never quite delivers the laughs it had hoped for".[6]
On the other hand, Amanda Mazzillo of Film Inquiry gave a positive review, concluding that the "very aspect of Useless Humans aims to affectionately recall films of the past while maintaining a perfectly modern tone with its comedy, twists, and characters".[7]
