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
