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

Gun D Supposed to be a horror film. Ended up being the funniest stoner film outside of Seth Rogan films! ZOIDBERG!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Tank B Not perfect, but it tries amazingly well. Deeply thought out and blissfully executed, the only downsides it has are the typical "found footage horror" faux pas; too shaky camera sequences and horrible looking night vision. Don't get me wrong, this isn't on level with the greats of the genre, but it is definitely worth a B+. Don't let the ignorant critics and arm chair keyboard warriors fool you, it's worth the watch. Now streaming on Peacock! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review Izzy K My friend settled on this movie because we thought the trailer looked decent enough. I’m now hoping to get crossed enough to forget I ever watched it. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Audience Member I made an account just to give my opinion about this movie. 0/10 all in all it had a really great concept but the writing makes, the women seem incapable of making a smart decision alone and the men seem like rapey a**holes. I don't understand how writing can be so bad Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review 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 Read all reviews
