Joe Leydon Variety A thoroughly generic horror thriller that might provide how-to tips for film school students who lack funding. Sep 16, 2017 Full Review Nick Schager Film Journal International Ranks right up there with the very worst of 2017. Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times These nine people are indistinguishable, and we can't be bothered to care - or even notice - when they begin to die. Sep 14, 2017 Full Review Dax Ebaben Bloody Disgusting Against the Night is yet another example of a film which started out with a decent concept but ended up floundering upon execution. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 27, 2021 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review The movie likes to think this is all just naughty fun, but it's actually pretty gross. Rated: C- Aug 24, 2021 Full Review Sean Mulvihill FanboyNation.com Too much of its time is spent waiting for things to happen and never giving us a reason to care whether any of these characters live or die. Rated: 1.5/5 Oct 31, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

B P ‘Against the Night’ is a Generic Blunder Full of Tired Tropes Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review inertia521 I legitimately made a rotten tomato account after having my brain tortured by this movie. The dialogue is atrocious, the entire movie is film in darkness and the male characters all give off some weird rape vibe. I am making this review to save others from this movie. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/14/23 Full Review Demi B This was all over the place. The female lead has no business being an actress. Even just the facts were so poorly researched. The final interview, they supposedly find a meth lab, and the cop says methadone is a hallucinogenic. Meth and methadone are completely separate drugs and methadone isn't a hallucinogenic. Like at least do a simple Google if your plot is going to be such a mess. Yikes. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/23 Full Review Aaron M Have you ever gone to a party and there's that one guy nobody can remember inviting? He won't stop talking about how he's a writer but has never written anything, he's a director though he's made no films. The more you talk to him the more you realize he has zero idea what the hell he's talking about. Then you notice every word he says are chosen to make him sound like the most interesting person, but he seems really just sad and lonely, desperate to be cool. Yeah, he wrote this film. Every character speaks in his voice, which isn't really a real voice at all. The idea for the film is one of the genres most tired and played out, though I'm certain he thinks it's "totes original". The characters are empty vapid shells. The camera work is ok, that's it, that's the positives. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Audience Member One star for effort… that's it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review gareth A friend convinced me to watch this, and having done so I am reconsidering our friendship. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/22 Full Review Read all reviews
