A regrettably routine catalog of dusty haunted-house tropes.

PopMatters

Ms Negro Que La Noche is notable for being one of the few horror remake that actually exceeds the quality of the original film and for being one of the few Spanish language horror movies to gain a relatively wide release within the United States.

Rated: 6/10

"Mas Negro Que la Noche" made me shudder in fear; fear that it could get worse with each passing frame. And, it did.

Effectively creepy, foreboding and much smarter than most modern horror remakes. It should be seen on the big screen.

Tedious. Not scary. Horrible cinematography and directing. Lame.

La original me encanta. Esta "actualizada" version es una porqueria. Maldita nostalgia.

I thought this movie was pretty cool! It was a little slow-paced but when things started happening it picked up quickly!

The remake is adequately adapted and directed by Henry Bedwell. There are some great things about this film, but at the same time it's seriously lacking in some areas like telling instead of showing and not utilizing the power of silence. Despite that, I think it has gotten unfair treatment in other reviews online. The film attempts to tell its story through the mood created by its scenery, set, and color. The film does not try to center in on the acting and that's okay for a film like this. However, the elements in the story are all over the place, and leaves a ton of questions. Sometimes, especially in horror movies, questions don't need to be answered. Despite the film's drawbacks, this film does stand on its own and is entertaining. It is worth a watch if you're a horror movie fanatic. Mexicanfilmreviews.com

Mexico se a encargado plenamente en destruir las obras del maestro Taboada pero a pesar de su lento y ridiculo inicio, esta nueva version se esfuerza en mejorar ciertas cosas que su antecesora no pudo explicar. Los ultimos 30 minutos son primordiales y muy buenos, lastima que no reaccione del todo y se quede en el intento.

Bastante mediocre, le falta solidez a la historia. Veo demasiadas copias por todos lados. Poca originalidad
