Finding herself the victim of a violent monster attack, Jane launches a vigilante campaign to hunt the beast that tried to kill her. Jane's efforts intensify, but her troubling history of drug use and mental illness bubbles to the surface causing her family, community, and authorities to question the authenticity of her account. Suddenly alone in her fight, Jane starts to doubt her own memory of the attack...to doubt if Monster exists at all.

Guardian

Perhaps, rather than relying on genre conventions and slight metaphors, Take Back the Night could have delivered its social message more effectively as a straightforward character study.

Rated: 2/5

Paul Klein

FILMHOUNDS Magazine

What is so thoroughly interesting about this work is that Elliot populates the film with women, it's almost as if it's a world devoid of men, and in that space people continue to take the roles we assumed men would take.

Rated: 3.5/5

Dread Central

Without a clearly identified rapist, Elliot’s film becomes a scathing critique of the revictimization many rape survivors experience after reporting assault.

Rated: B+

Flickering Myth

The performance from Emma Fitzpatrick as Jane is remarkably good, but ultimately the metaphors and messages are hammered home a little too heavily for general viewing.

Eye for Film

Elliot’s film is angry and doesn’t try to hide it, but the message doesn’t get in the way of what develops into a strong psychological thriller.

Rated: 4/5
