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

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 25, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 14, 2022

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

| Jun 5, 2021

Judging it by itself as a solo slasher film from 2018 it aced it... as a sequel it did even better.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 16, 2021

Values suspense over gore but goes too heavy on the sadism.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

Perhaps one day Prey at Night will find itself invited to join the ranks of beloved trash horror, but for now, this is another shameless sequel with nothing going for it other than its name - and even that isn't much.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Although a cine-literate reverence for the history of the genre is laudable, these homages are so overt as to distract from the tension and the scares.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2020

The Strangers: Prey at Night drips with 80's influences. From its synth score to the Stephen King font of its opening title cards, the film capitalizes on the audience's nostalgia for its slasher predecessors.

| Jul 27, 2020

Instead of any sort of craftsmanship, originality, or suspense, the filmmakers fall back on the '80s nostalgia wagon with nothing to add.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 23, 2020

Prey by Night...takes everything about the original and feeds it through the Generic Slasher Film meat grinder...an insult to its own predecessor.

| Jul 17, 2020

Prey at Night is one of the most effect modern slashers in years. Madison and Pullman are the heart and soul of this vehicle, with a strong relationship heavy on the likability factor. Be prepared for a refreshing and unconventional 3rd act.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 15, 2020

The Strangers: Prey at Night is too empty for my tastes.

| Jun 2, 2020

The Strangers: Prey at Night is barely serviceable VHS-era pastiche that recaptures the style of the classics, but lacks their soul.

| Mar 30, 2020

The Strangers: Prey at Night is a solid little chiller that delivers on everything it should and nothing it shouldn't.

| Mar 20, 2020

Grimly efficient sequel to the 2008 shocker The Strangers.

| Mar 9, 2020

It is inferior than its predecessor, since it doesn't offer anything especially stimulating beyond some inspired couple of scenes. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2019

Conventional wisdom tells us that getting to know the characters will actually make us feel for them, but the emotional connections it creates actively take away from the original's harrowing anonymity.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 3, 2019

[ Prey at Night is] an adequate sequel, but a terrible The Strangers follow-up.

| Apr 10, 2019

A well-made lean and nasty splatterfest.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 21, 2019

Filled with absurd dialogue, undeveloped dumb characters and unrelenting violence.

| Original Score: C+ | Feb 28, 2019
