	Media	Author	Review
		Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"A movie that appears not so much written by LaBute as stapled together from a pile of threadbare thriller tropes"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The director continues his run of terrible films with this awfully acted, ungripping drama (...) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Martin Screen Anarchy	"No one sleeps in 'Fear the Night', so better take a nap beforehand, because you won't be sleeping afterward, either"
		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 (...) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
		Noel Murray Los Angeles Times	"It's crafty enough, but it's lacking LaBute's usual acid wit and fearless provocations"
		Rob Hunter Film School Rejects	"'Fear the Night' simply doesn't work, and the only thing left to fear here is the threat of more Neil LaBute movies"
		Chad Collins Dread Central	"Bloody, funny, and cathartic (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Ferdosa Abdi Screen Rant	"The disappointing fact is that the movie would be exponentially better with more substantial writing and more confident directing (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"'Fear the Night' often threatens to become the type of movie it’s trying to slyly subvert, but a solid Maggie Q performance and some fun-ish surprises help it along. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
