Quentin Curtis Daily Telegraph (UK) Apr 22
[Never Talk to Strangers] isn't as suspenseful as an evening with Hitchcock, but just about diverting enough. Go to Full Review
Brendan Kelly Variety 03/26/2009
Reasonably entertaining but largely uninspired. Go to Full Review
Wally Hammond Time Out 01/26/2006
An adequate psychological thriller on a topical theme -- Repressed Memory Syndrome -- but with little special quality, few frills or thrills, and a relaxed, almost languid exposition. Go to Full Review
TV Guide 08/05/2009
3/4
It's basically a direct-to-video erotic thriller blown up to big-screen proportions, but the stars are attractive and it's passably entertaining -- right up to the ridiculous twist ending. Go to Full Review

Tomas B 09/10/2024 Una excelente interpretación de Mornay See more 12/27/2018 A more or less typical thriller made special by Rebecca De Mornay's awesome performance, she is the executive producer of this picture and must have badly wanted to do this role. I found it a bit slow at times, but the last 20 minutes or so made up for the weak spots, perfect twist movie at the end. So for this being a very well made movie, and that twist making it up at the end, I give " Never Talk To Strangers " a C. See more deke p 02/09/2017 saw on tv 2017. I liked it. It was 'moody', but tense. Banderas was ood as always. And i've always had a crush on Wally George's daughte. See more 12/31/2014 Generally a good film. Something to watch on a cold rainy night. See more 05/20/2014 Good story, awful acting. See more 10/11/2013 The story and the acting was good enough, but the outfits were scary. Of course, in the 90's when this movie was made everything would have been fine. See more Read all reviews
