New York Times

Keeping the violence — and the villain — mainly in the shadows, the filmmakers build to a climax that’s frustratingly dumb and drawn-out.

CBR

For what it is, The Man In the White Van is a solid and respectable endeavor, beautifully crafted and shot, impeccably designed, and with a worthwhile payoff in its final fifteen-minute stretch.

Rated: 7/10

Spectrum Culture

Loosely based on the life of a real-life serial killer, the movie seemingly wants to be enticing, however, it’s never able to provide much more than a basic cat-and-mouse horror story.

While Skeels’ film may not break new ground and could feel slow for some, it still delivers the hallmarks of an engaging true-crime thriller for fans of the genre.

Rated: B-

Rue Morgue Magazine

The glimpses of the driver’s past crimes have only momentary impact...THE MAN IN THE WHITE VAN succeeds better as a portrait of a girl under both pressure at home and the threat of impending violence from outside.

Cinemalogue

Emphasizing cheap frights over consistent suspense, this lurid thriller is a serial-killer saga that dials back the blood and violence yet struggles to escalate the stakes.

I was impressed by the scary factor. Based in 1970 and I feel that they did a great job with time period correctness. It felt real.

I did enjoy this movie. It was a tad slow to start, but the movie kept me interested enough. I found it to be very suspenseful. Some parts almost stressful to my heart Lol. The one sister was so annoying however, she redeemed herself towards the end in my eyes. Love Ali Larter. Dad (Sean Astin), was a little nerdy. Would have liked to seen someone different paired up with Ali. I would recommend this movie because it has enough excitement and thrill build up.
