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.

2/5

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

0/5

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.

3.5/4

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.

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

The movie is more ambitious than the first. The plot is typical but meh. The soundtrack is what makes this movie shine, it had awesome scenes with the killers but my gosh the main character is dumb and irritating. Overall the movie was very meh watchable but only once.

I liked this movie so much better than the original! It is packed with emotion, great plot twists, and way more energy. The neon-lit swimming pool fight scene set to Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" was absolutely brilliant and easily the best part of the film. Unlike other horror movies where the characters are helpless, the victims here actually have a survival instinct and fight back hard. Kinsey using the shotgun for that ultimate "fatality" unmasking scene was an incredible horror payoff. A highly entertaining, high-octane slasher!
