Joshua Starnes Firing the Canon Quiet, tense and occasionally energetic, <i>By Night’s End</i> is an excellent advocation for the adage that ‘it’s the singer, not the song.’ Rated: 7/10 Jul 18, 2022 Full Review M. Faust The Public (Buffalo) Recalling classic home-based thrillers like Wait Until Dark and Shallow Grave, By Night’s End is the kind of low-budget indie that tends to get lost in the crush of movies looking for an audience in the post-theatrical landscape. Rated: 3/4 Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Ronak Kotecha ronakkotecha.wordpress.com If you’re looking for an unusual crime thriller then this one checks most of the boxes. Watch it the genre fans on a cold night and thank us later! Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 6, 2022 Full Review Christopher Lloyd The Film Yap A low-budget but well-made thriller about a married couple who must fend off criminal invaders and temptation when they learn their new house may contain a hidden prize. Rated: 4/5 Jul 1, 2022 Full Review Bob Bloom Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) The finale of 'By Night’s End' is somewhat of a letdown, but at a short 85 minutes, it keeps you invested watching a couple forced to battle outside forces and inner demons to prevail. Rated: 2.5/4 Jun 29, 2022 Full Review Luke Y. Thompson CineGods.com Whited’s goal with By Night’s End was to prove he could be trusted to make a movie, and potentially earn bigger budgets for his other scripts. But this is no throwaway test – on its own terms as a movie, it’s a solidly entertaining thriller-in-a-box. Jun 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Amelia B Ridiculous premise. Why not have the police come take the body and then search your house? Low budget is too much budget for this should've been a college kid's semester project. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/26/23 Full Review 4321tma Not sure how this movie got such a high Tomatometer score? Got duped into donating an hour and half, and couldn't wait for this movie night to end. The lead actors might have potential, but no way to tell with this sorry undeveloped and totally implausible script. To cap it off, the big reveal was a big let down. There needs to be an investigation into the critics' reviews for this one. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review harris r Decent premise, terrible execution. It started off interesting, then as it progressed, the characters became ridiculous, especially with their actions. The wife's acting was annoyingly aggressive, and the husband's just as annoyingly passive. Never mind that pretty much all cast were unconvincing in their roles, but at least you will be entertained when the couple take turns being passive-aggressive - at the most ridiculous times. The screenplay was riddled with plot and technical issues, and I'd say the entire cat and mouse in and out of the house was so illogical and ridiculous. Towards the end, we were all shaking our heads and laughing at the story's predictable plot and events. When you finally find out what they were looking for, you will be very disappointed at how silly the concept of that item being hidden in the first place, was. It's too bad... the premise had much promise, but the writing and directing failed this one. It's a very generous 5/10 from me, mainly for the laughs from a film that wasn't a comedy.
