Variety
There's no real terror or dread in it, just the same old meat-puppet gore and cattle-prod scares served up with a kind of ritualised self-satisfaction.

The Strangers: Prey at Night / Reviews
The New York Times
It's never a good sign when a movie racks up its first ironic music cue before there is anything to be ironic about.

Los Angeles Times
Though it's as slim and poorly balanced as a cheap knife, "The Strangers: Prey at Night" is a stylish 1980s throwback that packs plenty of terror into its short running time.

IGN
While the film does possess its share of admittedly cheap jump scares - those masks! - Prey at Night gets far more traction from its mood, its pacing, and its overall skillful filmmaking than many other horror films of its ilk.

Hollywood Reporter
Replicating the tropes of its predecessor to a slavish degree, The Strangers: Prey at Night pretty much wastes all its inspiration on its punning title.
