Critics Consensus

Part creature feature, part romance, After Midnight somehow manages to combine its disparate ingredients and come up with something special.

I'm going to give my spoiler early: THE ALIEN IS REAL !! My 3 stars go for Gardner's respectful handling of drama and Zebrowski's smooth navigation of occasional comed while in my opinion Brea Grant could have smiled a fair bit less during the back and forth telling of Gardner's recollections, in this otherwise strange montage of a long term love story/alien movie. The progression can be frustrating for some and I had to struggle stretching the narrative to aliens...or was it stretching the aliens to the love story? All an all not a bad chick flix with an alien angle. You are just left on your own to make the connection....qand oh...did I say THE ALIEN IS REAL?

It start good and suspenseful, but the last 30 minutes is super boring, and the ending sucks and will anger horror fans. If you're a hardcore horror fan, don't watch this movie because you will feel robbed.

This movie is just bad. The acting is awful and the characters suck. If you don't smoke weed watching this, it is so boring you kinda nod off. Just bad!

A likable indie with an unlikable protagonist. The dialog and acting moments are solid in this simple story, the monologs are noteworthy. If this movie was in the short story format, part of an anthology, Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, etc the execution would have been tighter with less rethreading of themes.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Bruh this movie was garbo, if you like lame slow romance movies with monsters and fake scares as metaphors to dumb peoples self-inflicted relationship problems then you might like this otherwise definitely not a horror and definitely not engaging and I usually like Benson and Moorhead

The balance that After Midnight strikes between a two-hander and a monster story warrants a Valentine's Day weekend look, and maybe even a scary conversation.

Rated: 3/4

Little White Lies

as Hank's different anniversary memories fall into place, building a mosaic-like picture of a long-term, loving relationship and its gradual breakdown,... the intrusive, ever-returning monster proves a multivalent symbol

Variety

A jerry-rigged contraption of variably interesting, likable and skillful elements that only add up to one rather arbitrary goof.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

In short, presenting After Midnight as a horror film is misleading – it will be much more enjoyable going in knowing that it will lean on a romantic drama storyline than expecting scares.

Rated: 6/10

You might not have heard of names like Garnder, Stella, Grant, Zebrowski, and Benson just yet, but have faith that their thoughtful, imaginative extraordinary mash-up movie will soon change that.

While it strains to fill its runtime, the pitch perfect ending makes up for everything.
