      Time Out

      Amazing, though, what a competent director, cameraman and cast can do to help out a soggy plot. Tolerably watchable by comparison with the average Halloween rip-off.

      Hell Night is not so bad as it might be. It is not so good as it might be, either, but remember that it is a horror film. As the popular culture declines, the horror film declines with it, and whereas the horror film was once spooky, now it is nauseating, measured by the barf, rather than the shiver. Hell Night, however, is only about half a barf, an improvement, therefore, over its kind.

      TV Guide Magazine

      While the basics are pretty familiar, director Tom DeSimone does manage to create a few effective moments.

      Chicago Sun-Times

      Hell Night is a relentlessly lackluster example of the Dead Teenager Movie.
