Critics Consensus

The Strangers: Prey at Night may appeal to fans of the original who've been jonesing for a sequel, but its thin story and ironic embrace of genre tropes add up to a bloody step back.

Grimly efficient sequel to the 2008 shocker The Strangers.

Empire Magazine

With its infuriatingly dim-witted characters and generic slasher movie feel, The Strangers: Prey At Night is a surprisingly tame and forgettable rehash.

Rated: 2/5

Times (UK)

No tension, no drama, no interest, no scares, no emotional involvement and no motive. No chance.

The movie is a wash of reprocessed horror gimmicks which we’ve all seen over and over.

Deep Focus Review

Prey at Night makes the audience feel everything it wants us to, and what's more, it outdoes the original in every way, making for an unexpected, satisfying slasher - a rarity to be sure.

Rated: 3.5/4

I loved watching this film, for one reason and one reason only: it is gorgeous.

A very surface level slasher movie that follows a specific formula without offering anything special when it comes to story, but due to an incredible cast, and good production, it is a watchable movie, enjoyable slasher. I love the first Strangers movie, and the first one also follows this slasher formula, but has enough extra stuff in the story that add substance to it. This one, not so much. That being said, I do recommend giving it a go, since it was better than I expected. It's not a bad movie, just nothing out of the ordinary. Thank you.

This movie is much more like a classic 80s slasher than its predecessor was, for better or worse. There are even several shot for shot references to the classics such as Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Scream. But with these influences, I believe it is much less scary that the first one (or at least the first half of the first one), and what remains is a Friday the 13th bloody action title. Again, some people may like this genre and aesthetic more, but I found it to be nothing special. In the mountain of horror movies, this one is very forgettable, but not a complete waste of time.

While on improvement over the original it still suffers from characters being either uninteresting or completely moronic

If I could give zero stars I would. This movie was so frustrating to watch. No development, dumb as mud characters, and overly convenient timing of the killers. Not even a fun bad watch just lazy and frustrating. O/5 would never recommend!
