Critics Consensus

Despite typically strong work from Maggie Q, Fear the Night is a fairly generic and disappointingly tension-free thriller from writer-director Neil LaBute.

This is a waste of time and streaming pixels.

Los Angeles Times

It's crafty enough, but it's lacking LaBute's usual acid wit and fearless provocations.

Eventually, it becomes hard to tell if the movie and its canned culture clash/battle of the sexes drama is just self-consciously tedious or also hatefully ungenerous.

Rated: 1/4

Dread Central

Bloody, funny, and cathartic, Fear the Night is a wickedly violent showcase for Maggie Q.

Rated: 4/5

Shallow and unsatisfying, Fear the Night is an adequate home invasion thriller that could have been so much more...it turns away from interesting choices at every turn, leaving a generic, half-baked thriller behind.

There is actually very little here that you haven’t seen before; the lead performance from Maggie Q is strong, but that really is all it has going for it.

Had potential to be good but the acting was sometimes irritating and the decisions the characters made were sometimes stupid. Plus the lead actress randomly comes out as MAGA which didn't add anything to the plot or storyline

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

The film started ok but then just got rediculas and the movie turned b grade quickly. The ending made no sense, some people who were killed mid way were all of a sudden alive with no explanation. Maggie must be desperate for money. Not worth the time at all. Listen to the majority of the reviews.

Esta bien, todo lo esperable de una película de suspenso de bajo presupuesto. Historia redundante y repetitiva, poca o nula accion, actuaciones bastante dignas dentro de todo.
