Reception

The film has a 45% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 29 reviews. [3] Peter Sobczynski of RogerEbert.com awarded the film two stars. [4] Jude Dry of IndieWire graded the film a B-. [5]

Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a mixed review and wrote, "Night's End takes a bit too long to build up momentum. However, Neveu’s plot really comes together in the final 20 minutes..." [6]

Cassandra Clarke of Comic Book Resources gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Night's End brings a lot of intriguing ideas to the surface around the strange powers of isolation but it ultimately doesn't stick its landing." [7]

Matt Donato of IGN gave the film a positive review and wrote, "At its worst, Night's End exists as an easily digestible if less filling menu option for horror fans. Geno Walker delivers a strong-enough leading performance..." [8]

Shelagh Rowan-Legg of Screen Anarchy gave the film a negative review and wrote, "Night's End is the kind of intimate horror that, arguably, could only be made since we have had a better understanding of what it means to be physically isolated and technically connected at the same time." [9]

Martin Unsworth of Starburst also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "There’s an interesting concept in Brett Neveu’s script, but it would have likely worked better as a longer short than a feature." [10]
