- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliA compulsively watchable thriller that represents a calling card for the Ramsay brothers for the movie industry.
- 75RogerEbert.comBrian TallericoRogerEbert.comBrian TallericoIt’s a smart thriller that features a few truly dumb decisions.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckWhile its convoluted storyline never fully convinces, Midnighters never lets up on the tension, making it easy to go along with its contrivances.
- 63Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe 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.
- 60The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisAs 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.
- 60Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenLos Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe 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.
- 60VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyMidnighters 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.
