Jeannette Catsoulis 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. Dec 13, 2024 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex Even a few well-executed scenes can raise the bar and hint at the potential to come in a career. Skeels has potential but needs more reps to get where he needs to go. Rated: 4/10 Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Abbie Bernstein Assignment X Wolfe is personable and committed, Bassinger nails the ‘70s vibe, and Skai Jackson is likable and credible as Annie’s best friend Patty. Rated: B- Jan 6, 2025 Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion A serial-killer potboiler that doesn’t even simmer, let alone get up a full head of stream...resembles nothing more than the chintzy made-for-video so-called thrillers that filled the shelves of Blockbusters in the eighties and nineties. Rated: D Dec 31, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Common Sense Media This extremely poor, lumbering thriller, which barely has enough ideas to sustain a 20-minute short, borrows most of its supposedly tense moments from dozens of other, better movies. Rated: 1/5 Dec 25, 2024 Full Review Hannah Rose 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 Dec 18, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
