The Vast of Night Ratings & Reviews

April 6, 2025
Captivating dialogue transports you back to the 50's in this charming, quickly paced mystery
Chrome Cat

A lively real-time follow of two teenagers tracking a strange radio signal to its source, and discovering an answer they may have expected. Great dialog and acting.
Newsday
Robert Levin
"The Vast of Night" is an entertaining sci-fi nostalgia piece that's made with an unusually high level of technical flair.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A low-fi genre gem that proves the age-old maxim that less is often more-especially when such minimalism is wielded by gifted artists.
The Ringer
Adam Nayman
The technical proficiency of Patterson's debut is off the charts, and it'll be interesting to see if and how this gifted filmmaker manages to maintain his independence...
Polygon
Tasha Robinson
The story of The Vast of Night is nothing particularly special. The storytelling, though, is spectacular.
Forbes
Christopher Orr
This awful moment in America, beset by sicknesses both cultural and epidemiological, is precisely the moment for The Vast of Night, the rookie feature by director Andrew Patterson.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
The Vast of Night consistently entertains, and its mixture of vintage aesthetics and spooky subject matter feels like the beginning of the summer movie season.

Chris Stuckmann
Captures the live-wire immediacy of a few people in a small town stumbling across something monumental.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Patterson and his talented team do wonders with this material, the performances from Horowitz and McCormick both outstanding.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Peter Rainer
It's remarkably sharp, funny, and ominous. A terrific debut.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
It is very low-key and obviously extremely low-budget, but also stylish and clever.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
What really makes "The Vast of Night" work isn't the film's climax - which is fine and creepy, if more obviously hampered by budget limitations - but the two main characters and the dynamic that grows up between them.
TheWrap
Monica Castillo
The Vast of Night sells its mystery as a package deal, firing on all sight-and-sound cylinders to immerse its viewers in its story.

Robert Daniels
The Vast of Night [is imbued] with terrifying vibes replete with a restless hunger to experience the fantastical.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
[A] sense of immediacy is essential to the salty-sweet contrast of the film, which combines a throwback premise with an unstintingly modern sensibility.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Impressively, the quietest moments in The Vast of Night are as creepy and effective as the loudest.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Part Close Encounters of the Third Kind, part American Graffiti, and wholly its own stunning self, The Vast of Night is a debut of captivating weight and ingenuity.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
While the film offers a familiar B-movie story, it does so with heart and genuine sincerity, never striving for irony and to put anything in quotation marks. It's that earnestness that makes "The Vast of Night" so appealing.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
There's nothing flashy about The Vast of Night, no spectacle, but it's showy in a way that's delightful to watch.
