ReelViews
A compulsively watchable thriller that represents a calling card for the Ramsay brothers for the movie industry. - 75
RogerEbert.com
It’s a smart thriller that features a few truly dumb decisions. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
While its convoluted storyline never fully convinces, Midnighters never lets up on the tension, making it easy to go along with its contrivances. - 63
Movie Nation
The twists become increasingly obvious as the layers of intrigue are peeled off. But the third act, with its stark choices and grisly cliffhanger of a brawl, pays off, even it that payoff feels a tad more conventional than is promised. - 60
The New York Times
As tables turn and turn again — nudged along by a wolfish impostor (Ward Horton) and some creative torturing — the movie allows scant time to ponder each new tack. - 60
Los Angeles Times
The Ramsay brothers are attracted to all the grisly stuff found at the junction between noir-tinged thrillers and scarlet-hued horror, although the plotting here isn't as tightly coiled and the characters aren't as delineated as obviously intended. - 60
Variety
Midnighters is brisk and eventful. Yet as a thriller driven by constantly worsening straits, it’s not as cleverly twisty as it would like to be, nor are the well-played characters granted enough dimensionality for their dynamics to be all that surprising or convincing.
