IGN
Sure, it's silly and exploitative, but it's also a hoot to watch, particularly for gorehounds, Corman fans and cult enthusiasts. - 63
Washington Post
Humanoids is a clever combination of Jaws and Alien. [09 Jun 1980, p.B1] - 50
Variety
Given the nonsensical script and fact that considerable footage was added, editor Mark Goldblatt did a good job in making disparate elements at least hang together and play coherently. James Horner’s score makes it seem that more is happening than actually takes place. - 50
Austin Chronicle
Humanoids features a number of strong female characters, including a lead scientist and another who defends her homestead from the marauding creatures. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
Obviously relishing the chance to show everything they couldn't back in the early days of exploitation horror, the New World gang breaks all the monster-movie taboos while injecting heavy doses of black humor. - 30
Time Out
Peeters also lays on the gore pretty thick amid the usual visceral drive-in hooks and rip-offs from genre hits; and with the humour of an offering like Piranha entirely absent, this turns out a nasty piece of work all round.
