Joe Leydon Variety 09/16/2017
A thoroughly generic horror thriller that might provide how-to tips for film school students who lack funding. Go to Full Review
Nick Schager Film Journal International 09/14/2017
Ranks right up there with the very worst of 2017. Go to Full Review
Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times 09/14/2017
These nine people are indistinguishable, and we can't be bothered to care - or even notice - when they begin to die. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
Against the Night is yet another example of a film which started out with a decent concept but ended up floundering upon execution. Go to Full Review

C-
The movie likes to think this is all just naughty fun, but it's actually pretty gross. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
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. Go to Full Review

Sarah G Nov 15 I decided to watch this movie after seeing it had an 89% popcorn meter, but should have read the critics reviews which was 9%… The movie was incredibly boring with bland characters with really bad acting. See more Stephen G. @patient1 Nov 11 The place they're entering is terrifyingly massive, especially since their in the dark at night, like dark want enough for them. These guys found themselves in trouble pretty much as soon as they possibly could, and that is never a good sign for our characters. You literally won't believe the twist, and it's an interesting film, to say the least. See more Margaret P Oct 28 I've never written a RT review before but I have to because this movie is so terrible I don't like the idea of people seeing the rating and thinking it's good. I don't know how, but somehow the producers must have scammed their way into that 88%. (Hoping it goes down soon, now that people are actually watching it.) Bad acting, sounds like AI wrote the dialogue. Ending is terrible. I literally have no idea which character is which, (even though they are constantly calling each other by name for no reason). Nobody had personalities. I love all kinds of horror, indies are great, but this is a waste of time. Go watch Hell House LLC instead. See more Wesley P. @cateblanchettsbeard Aug 7 0/5 terrible acting, script, etc. I’m happy the production crew was paid…but that’s about it. V I r a l . m a r k_e t .ing u s e d See more Brettni J May 27 I kept watching because of the rating… the worst I’ve seen maybe ever. Terrible acting. Terrible script. Genuinely upset I wasted 54 minutes on this before I realized this was as good as it gets. See more Gun D Jan 28 Supposed to be a horror film. Ended up being the funniest stoner film outside of Seth Rogan films! ZOIDBERG!! See more Read all reviews
