Kidnappers abduct and terrorize a pregnant woman (Alexandra Meierhans) and her companion.

Kevin Thomas

Los Angeles Times

Replete with superior acting and visual splendor, the film is a fine instance of the overly familiar made fresh.

Rated: 4/5

New York Times

An unusually delicate psychological thriller that favors suggestion over exposition.

Rated: 3/5

Barker's screenplay demonstrates a conviction that its genre can command great importance, allowing it to transcend the easy shocks associated with the exploitation movie experience and create an entirely fresh rhythm.

Rated: B

TheHorrorShow

It's actually got a novel idea, a handful of legitimately creepy moments, and an admirable sense of Twilight Zone-style madness

Mike Scott

Times-Picayune

An icy and humorless -- but entirely suspenseful -- film that works mostly because of its unpredictability.

Rated: 2.5/4

Boxoffice Magazine

Daylight is a caper full of lechery and unforced twists with strong characters and no pretense.

Rated: 3.5/5

This director has potential. A decent storyline, lots of suspense, and great character development. However, your audience needs to have "take away", i.e. there must be some resolution in the movie, it can't just end. That's not a "new idea in movies", it's part of telling a story since time eternal. Work on it.

I struggled to empathize with the characters and story line. It was a little slow pace and I didn't see the connection that was building between the scenes. Eh.

Husband's Character should have been developed more into the movie. Other than that it was very good.

I saw Daylight a couple months ago. For me, it is a great psychological thriller movie.

A yawn of a movie that does nothing special with this always promising premise. The Stallone "Daylight" movie is more entertaining.

Starts as potentially interesting but devolves into cliche at the halfway point.
