Leave your thoughts about The Long Night.
| Austin ChronicleRichard WhittakerThe Long Night may not be revolutionary, it's definitely got its own dark magic. |
| The Film StageJared MobarakEveryone involved does the best with what they’re given, though, perhaps saving The Long Night from being even more forgettable than it already is. The script does none of them any favors by fearing its own mythology and hiding it in a way that makes it seem like it has none. |
| Screen RantNadir SamaraWhen one thinks The Long Night is walking in circles, it breaks off from the beaten path just in time to give viewers exactly the movie that was sold. |
| RogerEbert.comPeter SobczynskiThe Long Night wants to create a sense of encroaching fear and unease in viewers but cannot inspire much of anything other than boredom and apathy. |
| Paste MagazineMatt DonatoThe Long Night’s understanding of horror genre fulfillment is nonexistent, no more satisfying than rice cakes with a little red food coloring splashed on to mimic spooky decorations. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThere are a couple of effective moments, a chill here and there, a canted camera that captures Grace’s possession by whatever “snake” this cult worships. |
| User ReviewJLuis_001For decades the myth has been fed that the horror genre can afford very low quality films because its style and setting allow it to do so. We have seen a countless number of really bad films and the genre can boast that many of them can even become cult films. It's amazing how horror is allowed to be exploited in such a banal way and still get huge adulation from gigantic legions of fans. The Long Night comes to find its place in that niche of mediocrity with a production that thinks it can induce horror when all it can provide is tedium. An apathetic film full of clichés that don't even attempt the most familiar tropes of the genre to achieve a little freshness due to a clear absence of creative and artistic motivation. Add to that a few appealing characters that give you nothing to care about, and you get a story that knows very well what arena it's playing in, it just forgot the weapons with which to fight for something. Even for the fans I think it will be an irrelevant movie. |
