What to Know

Critics Consensus

Despite typically strong work from Maggie Q, Fear the Night is a fairly generic and disappointingly tension-free thriller from writer-director Neil LaBute.

Fear the Night | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Peter Bradshaw Guardian This is a waste of time and streaming pixels. Rated: 1/5 Sep 19, 2023 Full Review Fear the Night | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Noel Murray Los Angeles Times It's crafty enough, but it's lacking LaBute's usual acid wit and fearless provocations. Jul 24, 2023 Full Review Fear the Night | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Eventually, it becomes hard to tell if the movie and its canned culture clash/battle of the sexes drama is just self-consciously tedious or also hatefully ungenerous. Rated: 1/4 Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Fear the Night | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Chad Collins Dread Central Bloody, funny, and cathartic,Fear the Nightis a wickedly violent showcase for Maggie Q. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Fear the Night | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jessica Scott Nightmarish Conjurings Shallow and unsatisfying, Fear the Night is an adequate home invasion thriller that could have been so much more...it turns away from interesting choices at every turn, leaving a generic, half-baked thriller behind. Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Fear the Night | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Chris Ward Flickering Myth There is actually very little here that you haven’t seen before; the lead performance from Maggie Q is strong, but that really is all it has going for it.

Raquel D Unrealistic emotionalness, unbelievable. Don't fall for the trailer. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/24 Full Review tm11999 M great maggie q "get 'em" flick. not a bad way to pass the time. plus mags fits her pants very well for being 45. watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Audience Member I don’t understand the hate for this film either. The killings seemed a little over the top just to get some money out of the attic, but it was suspenseful, watchable, and Maggie Q was great. I watched it until the end, which is more than I can say for most movies I start on Amazon. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Maria I THIS WAS A WASTE OF TIME. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/29/24 Full Review Cara N Maggie Q gives a good performance, no problems there. The movie itself is very average, not much action. The ending leaves things unresolved Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/27/24 Full Review Ryan M By no means does this film reflect, dictate, or emulate how I feel about Maggie Q as an actress in a leading role. This was just a poorly executed and poorly written slog and I won't bring myself to hold it against her.This was easily forgettable and at times (most of the runtime) very irritating and I would like to disregard this from Maggie Q's resume moving forward. AND stop displaying the damn time every six minutes (queue eye roll) and scrap the epilogue that served absolutely no purpose. That is all. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
