Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com [This] horror opus still manages to be a maddening waste of time, things building to an annoying and deeply unacceptable climax that's nothing short of terrible. Rated: 1.5/4 Feb 9, 2018 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter Veterans Englund and Shaye admirably give it their all, but their best efforts are not enough to elevate the subpar material directed in mechanical fashion by Zariwny. Jan 19, 2018 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Takes nearly half its running time to get to the scary stuff - and then keeps the lighting so dim that it's hard to make out which shadowy figure's the monster. Jan 18, 2018 Full Review Dax Ebaben Bloody Disgusting There is enough to keep viewers' attention, but there are also huge plot holes, leaps of logic that just can't be made, and a frustrating storyline which makes little use of its monster or premise. Rated: 2/5 Aug 26, 2021 Full Review Matt Donato Dread Central The Midnight Man begins by striking a meteoric horror high, only to plummet back down towards repetitive genre bumbling once the game's true - and less enticing - plot begins. Rated: 2.5/5 May 24, 2019 Full Review Javier Porta Fouz La Nación (Argentina) There is a lot of blood spilled, negotiated and sprinkled that does not at any time raise the blood of this tedious narrative.

Tim S Great concept, but awful writing. The characters actions make no sense. It's almost a comical how badly it's written! The acting is also like your watching people act rather than feeling immersed. Was this written and acted by amateurs high on their own farts. No wonder it was free to watch on Prime…. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review Jeeperz K It's a pretty great B movie in my honest opinion. You have to turn your brain off a bit if you're a heavy critic of plot holes and slight logic mishaps but overall this is a FUN scary movie and the jump scares are somehow legitimately scarier than most modern horror movies today. The monster is terrifying at times and slightly funny in others and has some interesting banter interacting with different characters. The music is exceptional and never sells the jump scares away and some of the characters are really good actors and with the exception of one. Just remember if you are someone who REALLY hates plot holes and logic mishaps this might be a hard one to sit though, but if you are a looking for a fun horror movies with 10 outta 10 jump scares this movie is for you. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/30/23 Full Review michael b Good Horror Movie,Up Until The Ending,Thats all Im Saying. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review Mark B I really enjoyed this movie, it's a nice change to see a movie that doesn't spoon feed you what's going on, on screen. It's a shame it didn't get a sequel. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/25/23 Full Review Audience Member So many people say it's rubbish but it's not. Not boring at all. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Liam D A very boring and generic script wastes a decent premise and an solid cast Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/23/22 Full Review Read all reviews
